(CNN published an article which is referenced by this writer; what is stated here is NOT the CNN article.)
From the outset our research has pointed in the direction that Omar Mateen was committing an act of Jihad terrorism targeting a facility/venue he knew well, Pulse Nightclub. Nothing about the event, or the preparatory behavior prior to the attack, held the appearance of a pure suicide mission. The possibility of getting caught or killed obviously part of the process – but the preferred objective was to exit and escape.
Early on it simply appeared he intended to walk in, shoot and kill as many as possible, and then exit within less than a minute. His plan was foiled by the off-duty security (fully uniformed police officer) who engaged Mateen and forced his way back into the nightclub.
As further evidence toward that end it is revealed Mateen pre-purchased three airline tickets for himself, his wife and his son the day prior to the shooting for use the day following the shooting.
When you add in the fact his mother was the first one to identify her 29-year-old son had not returned home, an increasingly clear picture emerges that the family knew of the entire terror attack, at least the broad outlines, including the escape plan.
Still a good but open question. I blame the FBI.
NOW is the time for the Fibbies to choose....
This is a NY Times account of the shooting:

“Adam Gruler was off duty when he tried to stop Mateen outside club Pulse”
I see what you did there...

Loretta Lynch Admits That Federal Authorities Have Lost The Orlando Shooter’s Wife
by Tyler Durden - Jun 22, 2016 5:31 AM
According to CNN, Federal investigators are trying to find out more specifically what Omar Mateen’s wife, Noor Salman (profiled here), knew about the planned attack at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando. The intent is to bring evidence before a federal grand jury to determine whether or not charges will be brought against Salman.
As US Attorney General Loretta Lynch said today, federal authorities are going back and looking at all of the contact with Omar Mateen, as well as those around him in order find out if there is anything that was missed.
