9AM Wednesday NZT update: It has emerged that the wife of the gunman who shot to death 49 patrons of a gay nightclub in Orlando tried to talk her husband out of carrying out the mass shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando. According to officers familiar with the case, Noor Zahi Salman told the FBI that she was with him when he bought ammunition and a holster. She also told them she once drove him to Pulse because he wanted to scope it out. Law enforcement officials say she is now cooperating with investigators and they are considering filing charges against Noor because she failed to tell them this information before her husband carried out the mass shooting. The FBI has brought in therapy dogs to help console the families of the victims. The Walt Disney Co. has donated $1million to help support the victims of the shooting. The City of Orlando has set up the One Orlando Fund to support organisations involved in the recovery effort.
