So in other words, no doctor actually examined him, as required for his ‘G’ license in Florida, the company submitted false records. How many other people did they falsify records for? I’m thinking I see criminal actions and law suits coming…

The security company that employed Omar Mateen said it made a “clerical error” in documents submitted to the state of Florida in 2007 regarding the mental health of Mateen, the gunman whom authorities have named as the person who killed 49 people in an Orlando nightclub last week.
Global security firm G4S said that it listed the wrong name for the psychologist who evaluated a test for Mateen that was required under state law for him to carry a firearm as a security guard. Mateen, 29 years old, and a U.S. citizen, was fatally shot by police in the nightclub massacre, the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history.
The document that G4S submitted to Florida state listed psychologist Carol Nudelman. But after news of the document was reported, by the Miami Herald and other media, Dr. Nudelman, whose last name is now Blumberg, issued a statement saying she hadn’t evaluated any tests for the security company after 2005.
Her attorney said Sunday that she did not live in Florida in September 2006 when the psychological assessment was purportedly performed.
G4S said Mateen’s evaluation in September 2007 using the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, a common psychological assessment tool, was in fact conducted by a third-party vendor called Headquarters for Psychological Evaluation. The security firm said Mateen had an above-average rating and that he had a favorable recommendation for employment. “Dr. Nudelman’s name appeared on the license as scoring the exam; it was a clerical error,” G4S said.
A representative for Headquarters for Psychological Evaluation couldn’t immediately be reached to comment Sunday.
