ABC News: Witnesses Say Orlando Shooter at Gay Clubs on a 'Regular Basis'

By Brian Ross, Rhonda Schwartz, Cho Park Akex Hosenball and James Gorgon Meek, Jun. 14, 2016, ABC News

The man who killed 49 people at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Omar Mateen, was himself a regular patron of gay clubs in Florida for years, classmates, friends and club employees told ABC News.

“Sometimes he would be there for a few weeks at a time and maybe on the weekends and then you wouldn’t see him for a little while, then you'd see him again and that's the way it kind of went,” said 71-year-old James Van Horn, a frequent visitor to Pulse.

Two people who worked at Pulse said they also recognized Mateen as a customer. One of them, head of security Estella Peterkin, said she had to kick him out multiple times for bad behavior.
