ORLANDO SHOOTING Ex-wife of Orlando gunman said he beat her Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Jun. 12, 2016 at 1:11 PM Updated Jun 12, 2016 at 1:14 PM Posted Jun. 12, 2016 at 1:11 PM Updated Jun 12, 2016 at 1:14 PM » Social News The ex-wife of the man authorities say killed 50 people at an Orlando nightclub says he beat her repeatedly while they were married. The ex-wife told The Washington Post that she met Omar Mateen online about eight years ago and decided to move to Florida and marry him. The ex-wife, who wasn't named in the report, says at first the marriage was normal, but then he became abusive. They were together for only a few months and her parents intervened when they learned Mateen had assaulted her. She says he wasn't very religious and gave no signs of radical Islam. She said he owned a small-caliber handgun and worked as a guard at a nearby facility for juvenile delinquents. Mateen's ex-wife said his family was from Afghanistan, but her ex-husband was born in New York. His family later moved to Florida.
