Before he was certified as an armed security guard; before he purchased a handgun and a Sig assault weapon; before he killed 49 people in Orlando, Omar Mateen was dropped from training to be a Florida prison guard for multiple infractions, including joking about bringing a gun to work.
That was one of several revelations in a file of complaints about Mateen's in-training behavior that Fusion obtained late Friday afternoon, in response to an open-records request made Monday. The 14-page file, embedded in its entirety below, adds further background to Mateen's abrupt 2007 departure from the state's training pipeline for corrections officers -- and it raises further questions about how he was able to commit the Orlando murders without closer law enforcement scrutiny.
