Orlando shooting: Woman says Omar Mateen stalked her
FORT PIERCE, Fla. -- A bartender says the Florida nightclub shooter stalked her nearly a decade ago, sending her so many uncomfortable messages on Facebook that she blocked him on the social network.
"He was one of those guys who wouldn't leave me alone," Heather LaSalla of Fort Pierce, Florida, told an Associated Press reporter in an interview Friday at the doorway of her home. She worked at a bar in Port St. Lucie at the time, and Omar Mateen had started coming there, mostly by himself.
"He was always like a loner," LaSalla said.
The tone of Mateen's messages made LaSalla uncomfortable, she said, but she never filed a criminal complaint.
She ran into him again at a park in November while she was with her young son and Mateen was with his, she said.
"He still had that weird vibe to him," LaSalla said, but she didn't feel in danger as Mateen told her he had a wife and talked about his son's soccer league.
