Turns out to be our Orlando shooter. But pointing that out would be racist profiling, right?
ORLANDO, Fla. —
Eyewitness News reporter Christopher Heath confirmed that Orlando shooter Omar Mateen worked for the Florida Department of Corrections for six months.
In a statement from the Florida Department of Corrections, a spokesperson said,
"Omar Mateen was employed at Martin Correctional Institution from Oct. 27, 2006 until April 27, 2007."
A source who was in Mateen's class at the DOC said he was still in the training sequence to be a corrections officer when he was removed from the program for bringing a weapon on to the Department of Corrections’ grounds. However, the DOC has not confirmed that information.
A picture provided to Eyewitness News of the training class shows Mateen in the back row wearing a backward dark-colored hat.
The DOC has not said why Mateen was removed from the program.
Eyewitness News is working to obtain Mateen's personnel file and will update the story with more information as it becomes available.
