The messages between Omar Mateen and his wife, Noor Zahi Salman began when she called him shortly after 2am when his mother called her to say she was worried where he was.
The ISIS-supporting killer was just starting his brutal massacre at that time and failed to answer his phone.
Around 4am Salman, 30, texted: “Where are you?”
Mateen replied: “Do you see what’s happening?” When she replied back writing “no” he wrote: “I love you babe.”
According to police sources she replied saying she loved him.
There were no communication between the couple after that, although Salman did call her husband back during his standoff with police.
He did not answer his phone.
He was shot dead by police at 5am as he tried to storm out of the night spot.
Prosecutors have convened a grand jury to investigate Salman in order to determine if she should face charges.
Investigators are not revealing if she called authorities or 911 at any point during the shooting to identify her husband as the gunman.
Mateen’s second wife Salman has come under increasing scrutiny as police investigate the killings.
Authorities say the father-of-one carried out the killing after buying a Sig Sauer MCX semi-automatic assault-style rifle and a handgun and that the wife accompanied him when he bought ammunition.
When initially interviewed Salman gave FBI agents conflicting accounts about what she knew of her husband’s plans in the hours before the attack.
