Orlando shooter Omar Mateen, who killed 50 people inside a gay nightclub early Sunday morning, was gay and a regular at Pulse nightclub, claims a former classmate.
The classmate said that Mateen and his other friends would hang out together and go to gay nightclubs after classes at the Indian River Community College. He also said that one time, Mateen himself asked him out 'romantically'.
Mateen also reportedly chatted with gay men online. One man, Kevin West, tells the Los Angeles Times he talked with Mateen over the gay dating app Jack'd on and off for about a year.
Mateen's ex-wife has described him as "bipolar," emotionally disturbed, violent and physically abusive.
A neighbor in Mateen's condominium complex described him as "awkward." "With everybody in this building, if you see somebody, and you know each other, you say, 'how are you doing?' - small talk," the neighbor said. "With him, it was just awkward stares."
