ORLANDO: FBI Shown Evidence That Killer Used Gay Dating App To Scout Popular Nightclub Locations

ABC News reports:

Kevin West said the shooter, 29-year-old Omar Mateen, contacted him three months ago through a dating app called Jack’d. “When he first contacted me, he was saying things like, ‘What clubs are popping and things of that sort, what are good places to go?'” West said. “And I remember telling him, ‘Oh, you can just look it up online because I don’t go out that much.” West said he didn’t think anything of it at the time. On Sunday morning, he said he met with FBI agents and showed them his communications with Mateen.

Minutes ago MSNBC’s Chris Hayes interviewed a man who says that Mateen was also on Grindr and Adam4Adam. It was pointed out that anti-gay thugs have often used these apps to lure in their victims.
