FBI Special Agent Ron Hopper, whos in charge of Orlandos FBI office, says that the individual who attacked an Orlando nightclub Sunday morning bragged about having ties to terrorist organizations.
The shooter is reportedly Omar Mateen, a U.S. citizen from Port Saint Lucie, Fla., according to CBS News.
Hopper said, The history that we know of this individual so far is that he may have made threats that he was tied to islamic terror.
In an interview on Fox Newss Fox & Friends Sunday, Hopper said, Theres allegations that the individual has made threats in the past to having ties to terrorist organizations. However, those have not been confirmed or vetted so far. Obviously, we are in the initial stages of this investigation at this time.
When asked where he got that information, Hopper said, Unfortunately, I cant divulge that information at this time because all these things are tied to the actual active investigation so were trying to be as clear and transparent as we can because we want the general public to feel as safe and secure as possible and thats not something that I can share.
UPDATE:
During a press conference later in the day, Hopper said, We do have suggestions that that individual may have leanings towards that, that particular ideology [Islamic extremism]. But right now we cant say definitively, so were still running everything around.

...just in time for Odungo to stutter and lie again...he’ll try to pass it off as a hate crime ONLY...will not mention mooslim contacts. More and more info,as it always does,will make Odungo look like the azz he is
If he had been investigated, WHY WAS HE STILL IN AMERICA
Media just refuses to call this what it is..ISLAMIC TERRORISM..yet again in America..Trump wants to keep these scum bags out..I am more worried about the Muslims that are already IN this country..I fear them more than I fear the ones who want to enter..Katherine Herridge was talking now on Fox News about how this looks VERY coordinated, how when the attack started ISIS members went on twitter to do the hashtag #OrlandoIsBurning like they knew it was coming..so of course it will all come together, just like Paris, just like Brussels, etc etc etc
The government follows the path of least resistance at the most profit. Actually detaining this guy or doing anything whatsoever would involve lawsuits and issues. Until the laws are changed to allow islamics to be denied due process this will accelerate. Even if a school full of kids is shot and blown up that won’t happen, so we’re just going to have to get used to it.
More info....subject made call before shooting to 911 and lie PLEDGE ALLEGENCE TO ISIS LEARDER
BINGO....
If he had been investigated, WHY WAS HE STILL IN AMERICA.
Exactly! There are 900 cases in all 50 states "being investigated" with kid gloves. They all need to be Rounded Up and Parachuted over the desert in Saudi Arabia! It's their thing, let them deal with it!
But, these people think differently (if stupidly) and they vote!
*************
That is absolutely true. You cannot reason with liberals. Logic, facts, and the lessons of history have no place in their world. They just emote so there is no chance of ever getting them to think differently.
Most likely the FBI was told to stand down because of ‘harassment’. It appears his Dad was some sort of big shot, and to get into the US from Afghanistan meant he had worked with the US military or CIA at some point.
“Why is he called a US Citizen, and not an American?”
Yeah, Judge Gonzalo Curiel was “not a Mexican,” but he was an “American Citizen.”
The funny thing is Curiel surely thinks he’s a Mexican first from the organizations to which he belongs. Ditto for this muzzie cretin. Being “born here” doesn’t mean he’s not an Afghan Muzzie. Same difference. Now watch the $hit being swept under the rug on this mass murder! It has already started. The Blackout Clock says 221 days left! Just hope we can survive until 1/21/17!

You got it right... the Dumbass-in-Chief will spout the same old BS about how we must not rush to judgment, this is an isolated hate crime, cannot be too rash in condemning Islam, and further strengthens the argument on limiting firearms.
They keep saying he is an American Citizen. Was he born here or is he a refugee? Are his parents refugees? If so when did they get here?
What ever happened to the locking up those that made terroristic threats? Under this third world leadership we are under assault by the muslins and the PC leaders!
He was born in NY. parents are NOT citizens as a matter of fact his father is currently running for some office in Afghanistan !!!! They must be here on some sort of visa!!!
