'I'm against evil, and America as a whole has turned into a nation of evil,' the gunman wrote on Twitter.

A Saudi military student reportedly condemned America as a"nation of evil" in an online manifesto prior to opening fire Friday at a US naval base, killing three people before being shot dead by police.

"I'm not against you for just 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 also humanity," he wrote. Commanding officer Captain Timothy Kinsella said the shooter was an aviation trainee, one of"a couple hundred" foreign students at the base.

Trump said King Salman"called to express his sincere condolences and give his sympathies to the families and friends of the warriors who were killed and wounded in the attack that took place in Pensacola, Florida."
