Prosecutors have convened a grand jury to investigate Noor Salman, wife of gunman Omar Mateen, sources quoted by Fox News and Reuters say. The wife of the gunman who killed 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando could face charges in connection with the attack, according to reports. It was possible that Mateen had called his wife from inside the club while the killings were taking place, Fox quoted a source as saying. She is reported to have told police she tried to talk her husband out of attacking the Pulse nightclub. Mateen, 29, who was killed when police stormed the club, pledged allegiance to so-called Islamic State (IS) during the attack, authorities say.
