Pulse Nightclub Shooter's Widow Found Not Guilty On Friday, a federal jury found Noor Salman not guilty on charges of aiding and abetting her husband Omar Mateen as part of the Pulse Nightclub shooting in 2016. At the time, the shooting was the deadliest of its kind in U.S. history, claiming 49 lives and injuring 53 others. Salman was arrested in January 2017, months after the attack, and told the FBI that she knew Mateen was planning something violent. "I wish I had done the right thing but my fear held me back. I wish I had been more truthful." According to her statements to the FBI, Matten would watch jihadi beheading videos and purchased a rifle and ammunition to practice at a shooting range.
