Omar Mateen reportedly bought nearly $9,000 worth of jewelry days before attack

The Orlando nightclub terrorist Omar Mateen reportedly brought nearly $9,000 worth of expensive jewelry less than a week before committing the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.

According to ABC News, Mateen made the purchase at a Kay Jewelers on June 6 in Jenson Beach. The store is located near the Lotus Gun Shop where Mateen was turned away after seeking to buy bulk ammunition and heavy-duty body armor.

Signet, which owns the jewelry store, didn’t confirm Mateen’s purchase but did say they were "working closely" with authorities in their investigation into the shooter.

Employees at the gun shop declined to sell Mateen anything after seeing him engage in suspicious behavior, The Wall Street Journal reported last week.

Robbie Abell, the Lotus Gun Shop’s co-owner, told The Journal that Mateen spoke on the phone in a Middle Eastern-sounding language and was repeatedly texting on his phone.

That's a $125.00 ring for each of his 72 virgins, very sweet of him.

To his sister's husband for $10 according to the document, $100 is on the online records of the sale, witnessed by the terrorist's wife and his father was present as well, signing over his portion of the condo as well.

As for the purchases, gotta max out all the credit cards before jihad, right?

Ten thousand dollars in jewelry is a lot easier to
smuggle out of the country by a woman than cash...
Where is his wife now?

The real question is where did he get the money. The same holds true for the San Bernardino jihadis. Someone is funding these people.
