NSTworld: US President Donald Trump said Saudi Arabia’s King Salman called him to offer condolences and sympathy to the victims.

The shooter was armed with a handgun and was killed by sheriff’s deputies responding to the dawn incident at Naval Air Station Pensacola, the Navy and local sheriff’s office said, the second deadly shooting at a US military installation this week.

US President Donald Trump said Saudi Arabia’s King Salman called him to offer condolences and sympathy to the victims. “The perpetrator of this heinous crime does not represent the Saudi people, who count the American people as friends and allies,” Salman said. The suspected shooter was Second Lieutenant Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, according to two US officials familiar with the case who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The Saudi personnel are “hand-picked” by their military and often come from elite families, the person said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they did not have permission to speak to a reporter.
