Gun Shop Owner Warned FBI about Orlando Killer
Orlando gunman Omar Mateen tried to buy heavy-duty body armor and bulk ammunition from a Florida gun shop several weeks ago, but a suspicious employee refused to sell him anything - and even called the FBI, according to one of the store's owners Thursday.
Too many tips; not enough agents. And budget. We need more budget.
Mateen came into the shop alone and asked for a "Level 3" bulletproof vest and then walked away for a second, speaking in Arabic on his cell phone, the store's owner said. When he came back, Mateen told the employee he also wanted bulk ammo, which usually comes in 1,000 rounds.
Note to bad guyz: Remember the Oklahoma City lesson - buy your bomb materials and ammo in small quantities from different stores - be patient! Your virgins can wait!
Their interaction only lasted 5 minutes, but it triggered enough concern in the employee decided to call the FBI as soon as Mateen walked out. Abell said no one came to investigate.
Note to good gu FBI - who did he call from the gun store? The NSA will tell you, if Champ will permit it.
Note: we had this story yesterday. Not snipped because of the in-lines, but please check not only the same day, but the previous few, particularly on quickly developing investigations following big attacks. This is not the only duplicate submitted today.

Thanking you for the moderators,
