'Barbaric': Saudi national opens fire on Pensacola Navy base, kills 3, injures 8
USA TODAY, Grace Hauck, Kevin Johnson, Annie Blanks, Trevor Hughes

PENSACOLA, Fla. — A Saudi man training at the Naval Air Station Pensacola opened fire on the base early Friday morning with a handgun, killing three and injuring eight before deputies fatally shot him, authorities said.

President Donald Trump, who spoke with King Salman of Saudi Arabia shortly after the shooting, said the monarch called the attack "barbaric."

The shooter was identified as Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, a member of the Saudi military, a U.S. official told The Associated Press. The official wasn’t authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity. A motive for the attack is unknown.

The shooting began around 6:30 a.m. CT and the suspect was halted by two Escambia County sheriff's deputies, who arrived on scene in less than five minutes, Sheriff David Morgan said. One of the deputies fatally shot the gunman, he said.

Saudi Terrorist Who Killed 3 At Florida Naval Base Posted Motive In Tweet Day Of Attack
Laura Loomer, December 6, 2019

On Friday morning, Mohammed Saeed Ashamrani, a Saudi Arabian national who was studying in the United Sates as an aviation student, carried out a terrorist attack at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida.

According to investigators, the terrorist was a member of the Saudi Arabian Air Force who has been in the United States since 2017, and was eligible to stay in the United States till August 2020. Pentagon officials said Ashamrani was taking courses in aviation, pilot training, and English at the Naval Station where he killed three people , and injured several others.

Prior to carrying out the attack, Ashamrani reportedly posted a tweet about his motives. According to the Middle east Research Institute, an individual with an account that matches the terrorist’s digital footprint posted the following anti-American, and anti-Israel tweet on the day of the attack. The tweet has since been archived:

Quote:
“O American people – I’m not against you for being American, I don’t hate you because your freedoms, I hate you because every day you supporting, funding and committing crimes not only against Muslims but against humanity,”

“What I see from America is the supporting of Israel which is invasion of Muslim countrie (sic), I see invasion of many countries by it’s troops, I see Guantanamo Bay. I see cruise missiles, cluster bombs and UAV.”

Pensacola shooter ‘held mass-shooting dinner party’ where fellow Saudi students watched disturbing videos – report
7 Dec, 2019 19:34 / Updated 1 hour ago

The Saudi gunman who killed three people at a US naval base in Florida on Friday had reportedly held a dinner party days earlier, at which guests watched video footage of mass shootings.

At least ten Saudi military students were being held at Naval Air Station Pensacola and several more were “unaccounted for” after the Friday shooting that left at least three dead and eight injured, an anonymous US official told AP on Saturday.

While the gunman was shot on the spot, the source said that another student videotaped the scene of the shooting on Friday, while another two watched from inside a car. All three are reportedly Saudi nationals, who were in the US to train at the base.

Disturbingly, all three are said to have attended a “dinner party” with the shooter, at which they watched videos of gun violence.

The gunman allegedly posted a manifesto to Twitter shortly before his rampage, accusing the US of waging a “war of attrition” on Muslims around the world, and condemning its drone strikes and secret prisons.

The authorities have been tight-lipped on details about the high-profile shooting and the FBI is probing whether the shooter was part of a larger group. Media reports have identified the gunman as Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani. An unnamed Pentagon official told Fox News that he was a member of the Saudi Air Force, who was scheduled to complete a three-year, Saudi-funded training program in the US.
