arrested woman shooter 'Orlando'

san francisco - The wife of the gunman who shot 49 people in June last year in a gay club in Orlando, Florida, was arrested Monday in San Francisco. Noor Salman is suspected to have helped her husband, Omar Mateen, said her lawyer to US media.

Salman will be arraigned Tuesday. It is expected to be extradited to the authorities in Florida, where she is accused.

Mateen would be sent according to earlier reports from the nightclub Pulse SMS to his wife. Also they would have called him several times, while the shooting was already reported in the news. Mateen, an American of Afghan origin, was later slain in a shootout with police.
