MEDIA

Ron Hopper is an Federal Bureau of Investigation agent known for investigating
the Pulse Orlando Shooting (2016). He is an assistant agent in charge of the
FBI's Tampa Division.
In interviews, Hopper said that Omar Mateen had been interviewed in 2013 and
2014. Agents first investigated Mateen after he made inflammatory comments to
co-workers alleging possible ties to terrorists. Mateen was interviewed twice
and, when investigators were unable to verify the details of his comments, the
FBI closed the probe.
In 2014, the agency looked into potential ties connecting Mateen to Moner
Mohammad Abusalha, the first American to carry out a suicide attack in Syria.
Like Mateen, Abusalha lived in Fort Pierce, Florida. Hopper says agents
determined that contact was minimal and did not constitute a substantive
relationship or a threat at that time.
Ron says the FBI has interviewed Mateen's wife Noor Salman. [1] He considers the
shooting to be both an act of terrorism and a hate crime.
