A nice story to end our show. Thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. Thats it for this special report, fair, balanced and unafraid. Greta goes on the record from orlando right now. This is a fox news alert. Is there a second terrorist . The wife of orlando terrorist omar mateen may have helped plan the murderous plot. Brand new information tonight from foxnews. Com. A grand jury to investigate the killers wife has been convened. On the record is coming to you live from orlando. And, of course, we are just down the street from the pulse nightclub where 49 innocent people murdered and dozens injured. Tonight as the investigation is turning toward the killers wife, we begin with fox news correspondent phil keating. Phil was live outside the terrorists home in fort pierce, florida. Bill . Greta, her name is nor zalhi salmon. She is in hiding tonight not
staying at condo complex but hold off with friends and family but maybe not for much longer. Thats because foxnews. Com has confirmed with fbi source that federal grand jury has been convened by prosecutors seeking to indict the wife of omar mateen with 49 counts of being accessory to murder. 53 counts of attempted murder. Failure to notify Law Enforcement of a pending terrorist attack. And lying to investigators. Salmon did make a brief appearance here at midnight returning to the condo she shared with the mass killer and their 3yearold son to retrieve a few personal items. She kept her face covered from the cameras and answered no questions before driving away. Law enforcement sources also confirming to fox news she knew a lot of details about her husbands massacre plan. She then went with him to purchase some of the ammo and even drove him up to orlando so he could scope out the target pulse nightclub. Tonight, mateens father,
once again, denied any prior knowledge. I wish i did know something that i could have stopped it and i could have myself. I could have called the Law Enforcement. So, that way we could have protected the terror of all the families. And the father also saying if, in fact, his son was a closeted gay muslim man, he never knew it. But that story line also unfolded with several gay regulars of club pulse saying mateen went to that club for years. And if not garks definitely bisexual, even using the gay dating app. Jack for the past year. He was trying to pick up people, men. He is a homosexual and he was trying to pick up men. He would walk up to them and then he would maybe put his arm around them or something and maybe try to get them to dance a little bit or
something and go other and buy a drink or something. And tonight we have also confirmed with the st. Lucie county sheriff that back in 2013 omar mateen worked as a Security Guard at st. Lucie county courthouse but during that time he made repeated inflammatory remarks which actually concerned several of his coworkers who told the higher ups and they determined that mateen should be transferred out of the courthouse and he was. And this all unfolded right as the fbi was launching one of its two investigations into mateen as we now know. That investigation turned up inconclusive. Greta . Phil, thank you. So, what does this grand jury news mean . On the records ted williams is live outside the killers home. Before ted became a lawyer he was a cop. Ted, i think this is odd because why i mean, typically if they were suspicious of the wife they would have arrested held her
and then convened a grand jury. Do you think its strange . You know, it is absolutely strange and incomprehensible. They apparently appears have enough on the wife, certainly to hold her. It is a mystery as to why she would be let loose. But, greta. She is free. Yes. She is free. You have to wonder why. If she knew or had reason to know of this plot. If she went out and helped him get ammunition, if she went with him to various soft targets like disney and this restaurant, the pulse, if she was there at one time that is clearly sufficient enough evidence to hold her. Well, just so the viewers are aware that is that in order to be an aider and abetter is not just enough that you knew something and sat there silent, you have to assist it in some way. So, if she drove him to
where i am, where the pulse is, aided him, then she is on the hook for 49 murders. Because sheson aider and abetter. The aider and abetter gets the same thing as the killer, as the trigger man, right, ted . Absolutely. You are 100 percent right. They also have to look at accessory charges. They also have to look at possible coconspiracy charges. There are so many different charges to include felony. Knowing and not taking any action. Its incomprehensible and sick, greta. I rarely felony. I almost think it doesnt exist. Here is the what the perplexing thing is, ted. Why is she out tonight . If a grand jury has been convened. If they are that suspicious of her, they have enough to get a criminal complaint and lock her up because she has every reason to hit the road tonight because all eyes are
on this woman. You know, i dont understand. This do you . No, i dont understand it. And i would have to believe that she will soon be behind bars and if these allegations prove to be truthful, greta, i hope they throw the book at her. Oh, i hope they throw 49 books at her. Anyway, ted, thank you. In the wake of this attack, outrage aimed at president obama is growing. Some are angry that he has not used the term radical islam. Today the president pushed back against those critics. Even appearing angry. When exactly would using this label accomplish . What exactly would it change . Would it make isil less committed to trying to kill americans . Calling a threat by a different name does not make it go away. This is a political distraction. Theres no magic to the phrase radical islam. Its a political talking point. Its not a strategy. Florida governor rick scott is here to go on the record. Good evening, sir. And im sorry to see you here tonight. I know this isnt the job you wanted. You became governor you never thought it would be like. This i have been talking to family members and the stories are disheartening. I talked to a mom that heard the story how her son bled to death after being shot. She thinks he was a hero trying to s i talked to individual that was shot three times. I talked to a dad that was so he lost his son but weighs focused on how do we make sure that we share information so this will never happen again. Have you heard from president obama. No. I have not heard from president obama. They have invited me on thursday to meet him at the tarmac. Are you going to meet him
on the tarmac. Yeah. Absolutely. I will meet him on the tarmac. He had the fuss today about the term radical islam. Is that simply a label or is that important . I think its important. Look, this is evil. We know its evil. Heres the way i think about it go listen to these stories. Listen to the stories of the people who survived. Listen to the stories of the people that passed away. What they expect all of us to do and its pretty logical. We have to destroy isis. At some point we have to say how many lives is enough . We lost Steven Sotloff right here in florida. He was beheaded by isis. A journalist from miami. 49 people murdered, slaughtered. 43 people injured. We are going to stop the evil of radical islam. At some point as a society, as americans, we have to be furious about this. Im furious about it i dont want it to happen in my state again. Its interesting yesterday secretary of state Hillary Clinton said we cant contain them. We have to destroy isis. And i thought i suspected
that that was sort of a reference to president obama that he was trying to contain them and not destroy them. I thought it was a slight departure from him. Stepping back from him. I want to destroy them. What they have done to this community, to the Gay Community here and Hispanic Community here to florida, to our nation, i mean, what theyre doing is attacking our fabric of life. I want to have a vetting process so we know who is coming into our country. I that shared with my Law Enforcement. I want my citizens to be safe. If the federal government is going to allow somebody to come into my state, they vetted them, tell me. What are you going to say to president obama on the tarmac on thursday . Im going to ask what is his plan, one, to destroy isis . What are you going to destroy isis, radical islam. Lets remember, this greta, after the paris attacks, the white house told me they would not share investigating information about Syrian Refugees to my Law Enforcement. That makes no sense. I assume on the tarmac he
will duck that or dodge you or talk to my chief of staff, im going to talk to the next person. You be going to say what . I am going to say i care about my citizens and that everybody lives in my state. I want to destroy isis. Indeed, we all do, i think. We all do. Its just incredible, the way these people have suffered down here, its just unthinkable. Governor. Its always nice to see you, especially these circumstances though make it particularly rough. Thank you, sir. Our team is on the ground investigating terror attack. The biggest questions right now are what led omar mateen, the terrorist to become an evil mass murderer. And could this slaughter of innocent pulse been prevented. Griff jenkins tracked down a former coworker of the terrorist. Griff is live enemy fort pierce, florida. Hi, greta. Security company g 4 s we spoke with a coworker of mateens named Daniel Gilroy who describes mateen as a
racist, angry, ticking time bomb waiting to go off. And he says he believes this was all preventable and that others may be involved. Take a look. Omar mateen was a troubled individual. Mostly based on rage and hate and frustration. He seemed to not like life. Did not like people who liked life. It wasnt that every now and then he would have an incident. It was his persona. It was his normal conversation. Every word was at an elevated rate. He almost yelled while having a normal conversation. Classes of people would set him off. And it was a respect thing. But they didnt disrespect him. It was a perceived disrespect. He would say things like they think theyre better than me and theyre not. They are not even human and things like that. You did try and tell somebody. Yeah. I told my supervisor. More than once . I believe it was on two separate occasions. But, after it fell on deaf ears and it seemed like they didnt want to handle it or deal with it, and they start to do think that i might have been the problem. I didnt want to go down that road. So they knew about him when they were talking to me. And they still said, you know, well, you have no evidence. Its hard to prove. And we have to be careful because is he a muslim. Okay. You know. And then i saw the writing on the wall and how they were speaking to me. Basically they dont want to do anything. Its their company. They dont have to do anything. But its my life and my work atmosphere so then thats why i said move me. Is it your sense then or belief, dan, that g 4 s shouldve have done more. Absolutely. Because i went to the Human Resource director. I wanted to file a complaint with her. And i asked about this complaint process, and she
didnt know anything about it i said my conscience got the best of me to not just walk away from this situation. So i made one more attempt with the company. I went to a regional person that wasnt in that office, so that the next level up the chain of command and i never heard nothing back. So thats four people with that company i attempted to contact and to resolve, you know, Human Resource director and three levels of supervisors. And nobody cared. Was this possibly preventable . It was absolutely preventable. This wasnt a mistake. It wasnt a slip through the cracks. It wasnt a matter of incompetence or intelligence. They knew the right thing. It was a matter of dollars and cents. They made a decision to make more money. Dan, did the fbi ever talk to you . No, they did not. Do you think they should . Yes. Why . Because i knew him better than most. As we look at his wife, possibly being charged as an accomplice, one of the Big Questions is did he act alone was he a true lone wolf or were there possibly other people involved, what are your thoughts . Its possible that other people are involved. Can you tell me more . Law enforcement needs time to investigate that. And do you believe they should talk to you about this . , im expecting them to talk to me. You have reached out to Law Enforcement about what you may know . Yes, i have. What was the reaction . They took my report. And thats local Law Enforcement and not the fbi . It is local. Has anything come of it . I have not heard but im sure theyre a professional agency thats handling it with the utmost importance but i have not heard from anybody. But you believe that you have Important Information . I know i do. We reached out to that Security Company g 4 s, they declined our request for an interview and we also reached out to local Law Enforcement, Fort Pierce Police department here to find out what, if anything, they had on record in terms of anything that mr. Gilroy may have filed. We have not heard back yet. But it certainly raises questions on whether or not this was truly preventable and were balls cropped or dots not connected. Greta . Griff, thank you. And we are learning tonight the orlando terrorist also targeted the happiest place on earth, in addition to the pulse nightclub. The terrorist scouted disney
world Disney Springs as a potential target. Many of you may know Disney Springs by its old name downtown disney. Fox news chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge has been working her sources live from washington. Catherine, what you can tell me about this. Greta, we were able to confirm two sources one investigative and other government there is evidence of significant premeditation in this attack and that the shooter omar mateen did surveillance on at least two sites prior to buying the weapons about a week out from sundays massacre. We were told that the two sites included the pulse nightclub as well as disney downtown. And the reason this data matters to the investigation is that it further suggests that the plot was something that was in the pipeline for some time and that it was not a snap decision on the day or even a couple of days beforehand, greta. You know, catherine, i love the fbi but he was on the radar screen for two separate investigations and they found nothing. He is a Security Guard at a
courthouse. Thats bizarre and apparently passed those securities. We, in the media, have gotten so much information about him in 36 hours and we dont have nearly the resources that the fbi has. Does the fbi making any explanation for this . Well, one of the issues we have been trying to pursue was that in 2014 when he appeared again in a second investigation about an american who was a suicide bomber in syria, that someone at the mosque flagged him as becoming radicalized and that he was watching the videos of the cleric Anwar Al Awlaki who was the First American targeted for death. Thats the american suicide bomber from syria you see right there. The reason thats important is that people who watch the awlaki videos, big glaring red flag that theyre on the road to becoming radicalized. We saw this in san bernardino. We saw this with the tsarnaev brothers in boston. We also saw this at fort hood, consumers of these videos. I mean, you dont watch the videos for selfimprovement. Just not that kind of material there was really not a good answer as to why that didnt reopen it. Catherine, thank you. Youre welcome. And another isis attack. This one in paris. And the terrorist used facebook to spread its horrific crime. Plus, the controversial imam police say may be tied to the orlando terrorist goes on the record.

Call 1800directv. Were back live in orlando, florida. Investigators are beginning to put together the disturbing puzzle about the
terrorists possible connections to isis. Fox news middle east and terror expert and trump Foreign Policy advisor walid phares goes on the record. Good evening, walid. Good evening, greta. Walid, i would suspect that the first step that the fbi is doing is they are going through his computer to see what sites he has visited. Would that be a good start to see whether or not he is tied to isis . Absolutely, everything has to do with lab top devices, communication systems. Any device with people he connected with, assuming his wife and others, all of that, the fbi should be going in into detail and doing it very fast because those who assumably were in touch with him are cleaning up the path. Any connection to him has now been taken care of by those who were in touch with him, if any. Whats the attraction to isis for someone like this guy . There are a lot of Muslim Americans who are not doing. This whats the attraction for some who become these just wicked terrorists and
they are helping isis and spreading this . Look, greta, the distance, incident electric actual, ideological distance between a community and isis is very long and very large. The assumption that being an american muslim and therefore being attract to do isis, that doe
