Omar Mateen Gay: Orlando Shooter Was Pulse Nightclub Regular, Former Classmates Say

A former classmate of Omar Mateen’s says Mateen was gay, once asked him out and visited the site of last weekend’s massacre often.



Officials say Mateen shot and killed 49 people (50 by some estimates) and injured 53 others at Orlando’s Pulse nightclub early Sunday.


The classmate quoted by the Palm Beach Post said he studied with the future killer at Indian River Community College police academy.


He said that he, Mateen and other classmates would go out to gay bars and clubs after classes, and that he asked him out romantically.


“We went to a few gay bars with him, and I was not out at the time, so I declined his offer,” the former classmate told the newspaper.


The source, who requested anonymity, said Mateen was gay, but not open about it, and that he was uncomfortable, and people felt sorry for him.


“He just wanted to fit in and no one liked him,” he said.


“He was always socially awkward.”


The Los Angeles Times, meanwhile, reports that Omar Mateen attended the Pulse nightclub as many as a dozen times before the rampage.


Kevin West said he had messaged Mateen back and forth for a year on the gay dating app Jack’d but never met him until 1 a.m. Sunday.


“He walked directly past me. I said, ‘Hey,’ and he turned and said, ‘Hey,’” and nodded his head, West said. “I could tell by the eyes.”


At least four regulars at Pulse, a popular night spot with the LGBT community, told the Orlando Sentinel that they’d seen Mateen there.


Ty Smith said he saw him a dozen times at least:


“Sometimes he would go over in the corner and sit and drink by himself, and other times he would get so drunk he was loud and belligerent.”


“We didn’t really talk to him a lot, but I remember him saying things about his dad at times,” Smith said. “He told us he had a wife and child.”


Mateen, whose ex-wife says he was unstable and violent with her, had been going to Pulse for three years, another source reveals.


Chris Callen says Mateen even had to be escorted out on multiple occasions, including one incident where he pulled a knife on a friend.


Before carrying out the worst shooting in U.S. history, Omar was interviewed by the FBI twice regarding suspicious ties, but never arrested.


Mateen’s father, for his part, emphatically said Monday that his son was not gay: “If he was gay, why would he do something like this?”

Code Black Season 1 Episode 1 Recap: Did Your Pulse Race?

Code Black is the anti-Grey’s Anatomy.


We didn’t open Code Black Season 1 Episode 1 with any sex between co-workers or any profound talk on elevators; that’s not what this new CBS drama is about.



Instead, the network is aiming for the next ER, a series medical procedural that focuses more on cases than the doctors who deal with them.



Not that the doctors aren’t important, of course. We still need to like the staff members who deal with intense cases everyday at Angels Memorial Hospital.


And they are:


  • Senior nurse Jesse Sallander (Luis Guzman), who refers to himself “your mama” because there’s nothing that happens at the hospital that he doesn’t know about.

  • Dr. Leanne Rorish (Marcia Gay Harden) a risk-taking residency director who is all about tough love and who is fueled by rage after an accident three years ago.

  • Christa Lorenson (Bonnie Somerville), a resident/mother who is often serves as Rorish’s punching bag.

  • Mario Savetti (Benjamin Hollingsworth), Lorenson’s younger colleague and, we’re just guessing here, her future love interest.

  • Neal Hudson (Raza Jaffrey), who oversees the Emergency Room.

On the premiere, Christa performs an emergency C-section in an ambulance while Dr. Rorish gives her instructions over the phone. This leads to a moment in which we learn Christa lost her son to cancer.


We also learn that Rorish lost “everyone” she loves somehow.



For the record, a Code Black takes place when there are more patients than resources at the hospital.


We’re told early on that the average hospital faces five per year, while the one featured here features nearly one per day.


So viewers can prepare for a lot of action, just not the bedroom kind Grey’s Anatomy has been so successful at portraying.


Go ahead and watch Code Black online to see if you’re interested in the other type of action
