<p>The wife of the ISIS gunman who wiped out 39 people in an Istanbul nightclub on New Years&#8217; Eve says she was blindsided by his alleged connection to the barbaric terror group, according to a new report.<br />
“I learned about the attack from the TV. I didn’t know that my husband was an ISIL militant, let alone a sympathizer,” the killer’s wife told police — using another acronym for ISIS — after she was detained by Turkish authorities.<br />

<h6><strong>The gunman opens fire</strong></h6>
<p>He was driven to the club, where he walked inside around 1:15 a.m. and detonated a stun grenade. He then began to indiscriminately shoot people with a Kalashnikov rifle. Police later recovered up to 180 bullet casings inside a DJ’s booth.<br />
Turkish investigators were probing how the gunman knew the security guards were unarmed and that the club had three secret exits, which were only used by the staff, the <a href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/istanbul-nightclub-attacker-arrived-in-turkey-from-syria-.aspx?pageID=238&;nID=108087&;NewsCatID=509">Hurriyet Daily </a>reported.</p>
