The shooting took place at one of the classroom buildings on the base, officials said. Officers with the Escambia County Sheriff's Office arrived on the scene and fatally shot the suspect after exchanging gunfire.Eight people were injured in the shooting and were transported to Baptist Hospital, a hospital spokesperson told ABC News. One of those transferred to the hospital later died from injuries, police said.
Heavy police presence can be seen outside Baptist Hospital, after a shooting at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Dec. 6, 2019.Two officers were among those wounded in the shooting. One officer was shot in the leg and is currently in surgery and the other officer was shot in the arm and is undergoing care at the hospital. They are both expected to survive.
Local law enforcement and officials and NAS Pensacola officials hold a press conference about a shooting that left 4 dead, including the shooter, Dec. 6, 2019. NAS Pensacola employs more than 16,000 military and 7,400 civilian personnel, according to the base's website. The facility includes the Naval Aviation Schools Command, Naval Air Technical Training Center, Marine Aviation Training Support Group 21 and 23, the Blue Angels, and the headquarters for Naval Education Training Command.
The shooter would have been taken down immediately if someone in that building had a gun. When are people going to stop thinking that shooters are going to stop when they enter a non-gun zone. stop showing the gunmans disgusting face.
Time for the USA to re-evaluate training Saudis at US bases. Can we trust this 'ally' to actually screen its own forces before sending them to USA? Saudi government is riddled with extremists apparently.
EpsteinCoverup ExposeABC
we must have a balance n wise approach in dealing w/foreign military personnel in our country. we must keep in mind that we have thousands of american military personnel around the world, n one could go sick/crazy n kill ppl for whatever reason.
Money will not solve this, how about we bring our troops home from Saudi Arabia and let them fight their own war.
Trump wants to get to The bottom of it? IT WAS A SAUDI ARABIAN YOU REMEMBER THE SAUDIS DON'T YOU DONALD. 9-11 TERRORISTS BUTCHER'S WHO DECAPITATED A JOURNALIST (WHICH TRUMP IGNORED) THE ONES WHO YOU JUST SENT OK TROOPS TO DEFEND THEIR OIL FIELDS. YOUR DANCING PARTNERS.
Blah blah blah.
if he wasn't a Saudi or training at one of our Naval bases , what would trump's reaction be
This is the second on a base in like 4 days. We need to starting look at the deeper problems. It’s bad when it’s hitting our military like this and they’re the ones most trained in weapons.
And the 'bottom of it' is that someone had a gun and shot people.
Getting right to the bottom of it I'm sure.
The Saudis are NOT really concerned about this, just like they are not concerned that the majority of the terrorists of 911, who killed and injured more than 9,000 Americans, were from Saudi Arabia. Trump loves assassins, dictators, and criminal heads of state... so it's okay.
Is anyone else off-put by money comments in the hours following deaths of our service people ? Do these guys sleep with their hands in their piggy banks ? What is this recent addiction by public servants to MONEY ? In my eyes, it's truly disgusting -
Isn't it the middle of the night in Saudi Arabia?
15 Saudis killed 3,000 during September 11 attacks. For some reason they tend to be involved when Americans are killed. Wonder why? TrumpIsALaughingStock
How much $$$ do they need to funnel to your campaign to pay their debt?
Where did he get the gun?
This is like a goddamn Sopranos episode
Soooo, if you pay them all off, it’s ok?! 🤔
What a pos
What a disturbing and & unfeeling thing for Gov DeSantis to say: Saudis are rich; throwing money at victims will make everything better.
Its terrorism, we have the right to go take his family, and anyone involved with him,, for questioning... Is there more to come with this from the Saudi's Are the repeating what they did to Jamal Khashoggi here
Let's not vomit PC crap. This is not just a 'Saudi.' He was a JIHADI. Can't win a war w/o naming the enemy correctly and they are at war with us for 1400 years. NeverForget911
So throw money at grieving family is the answer no gun legislation, no ban on foreign nationals right to bear arms, no travel ban ok gotcha gop RonDeSantisFL marcorubio RepMattGaetz
Flight training 🤔
I’m sure that Gov. Desantis feels much better whenever someone cuts him a large check. However, most of the rest of us would feel better knowing that our government was doing whatever is necessary to protect us from terrorists.
GovRonDeSantis WhiteHouse POTUS realDonaldTrump SenateGOP foxandfriends seanhannity LouDobbs IF YOU LIE DOWN WITH THE DEVIL, You'll wake up in HELL. Nice going Republicans! You're what's wrong with America.
Saudi owes a debt to JamalKhashoggi as well but no mention of that, and the victims of 9/11 but no mention of that either.
TheView I though you guys knew better than to teach Saudi’s to fly
bevdevwarrior But let's make sure the next shooter can easily get a gun, right GovRonDeSantis ?
Oh, we're still teaching Saudis how to fly airplanes into buildings? Thanks realDonaldTrump!
Owe a debt?! Free gas for life?!?! moronFLgov
I think our government needs to flush out information on whether this was the 'mission' of this Saudi national and we may not need to look much further than Jared Kushner.
Speaking for myself, I don't think serving Islam is worth one single American life... We all know the ideology is inherently evil towards non Muslims, so why deal with these countries in the first place? activeshooter
Wow, Wow, Wow..... even for him.
The victims of 9/11 are still waiting for and are suing Saudi Arabia for compensation.
TinaMarie_80s Money is there answer for everything!!!
Ah, the old trump logic where the first thing said is, you gotta pay what you owe.
So, leaders of countries of small political and military value disrespected American leader and there will be no response.QuoVadis?
The staff who writes Trumps lies (not the ones he tweets himself) have a book in the ready when Trump leaves office called How We Successfully and Easily Duped The Trump Cultists'
GMA Sure they called.
And we should ALL believe you and the King, right? Liars.
Next thing you know these Saudi aviators will be flying into buildings !!
Sort of like when they murdered Jamal Khashoogi, a US resident?
Saudi Arabia is a country that has been sponsoring terrorism for a long time, killing a journalist with a chainsaw and trying to buy the world through oil money, the world must hold accountable this arrogant country that kills and imprisons innocent people.
Oh well that explains that then, moving on right?
lies
Radical Muslim
The president is a liar, so ...
We still let them come here and take flight training? God we never learn.
Did the King say he would put an end to the religious education curriculum that promotes an ideology of hate towards the “non-believer”....watch the Saudis skate again...with friends like these, who the hell needs enemies?
Another senseless killing by the Saudis, this time staining American soil with American blood. Great job realDonaldTrump for condoning this senseless killing by giving another pass to MBS.
I fully expected it, but this fawning over the Saudis was quick even by trump's standards. smdh
He didn’t happen to apologize for 911 while he was on the line ?
Yep the Saudis are our friends
at least make a contribution to the us royal family.
Ask them to stop staying at TrumpTower, see if realDonaldTrump gets his panties in a twist then. Obviously nothing else works. RonDeSantisFL GovRonDeSantis SaudiArabia
Why not? The Saudis paid off Khashoggi's family, so it's all good, right?
And how is that going to make the families of these victims feel better? Kill our people, but it'll cost you? That's the best response to this tragedy you could come up with?
they must have real good dirt on Don
Saudi, flight training... Reminds me of 911.....
Oh, is that right.
Trump loves to protect these guys follow the money
Democrats own this. They want open borders - this is the result.
His name was Mohammad Saeed Alshamrani.
seanmdav And just like that this story will go away.
A base full of unarmed soldiers. Sad.
seanmdav Nancy Pelosi just flashed yet another bullet bracelet. I don’t believe in coincidences when our government officials flash signals. 🕵️♂️🕵️♂️🕵️♂️🕵️♂️🕵️♂️
seanmdav Honestly, CloseTheBorder.
Replace 'Never Forget' with 'Training Saudis to fly' on FL plates already.
MRiveraFoxNews Innocent lives were lost yesterday in South Florida because of the response from law enforcement officers. Is Governor DeSantis going to comment on that? UPSKilling
2024 president
I wish there was a way to stop pointless shootings before they happen? Oh wait there is a way! we could arrest sex criminals and crooked cops! Like Officer Jarvis his partners and the sex criminals they helped commit/cover up their crimes! So will help stop future shootings?
The SAUDI Shooter was training in AVIATION...smh 9/11 Hijackers where 90% Saudi Arabians too.. They have oil so no one cared that thousands of American citizens and other countries citizens where incinerated that saddest day..
'this is so, so surreal' Really? 🤔😏
Saudi terrorist.
Quick everyone act surprised
'this is surreal' Pensacola shooter identified as SaudiArabian officer on training with US military😆😆😆
Must have been diversity day on base👀
almostjingo I'm having deja vu all over again.
Cernovich Make sure y’all repeat this story tonight, tomorrow, and Sunday.
Don't worry, I'm sure that realDonaldTrump will give the OK to MBS in exchange for paying off some more of his toxic debt.
So, to many of you on here, the actions of the few do represent the many? But only when it benefits your point of view and beliefs, otherwise anyone else who does it is; racist, homophobic, islamophobic, etc... Alot of emotional irrational responses from people on here...
Hmmm
There you go...
ChristieC733 Can we stop training the terrorist that keep attacking us please?
so when are we invading Saudi Arabia to install democracy ? They have Oil too.
“Saudi national in the US for flight training”. When have we heard that before?
This is truly horrifying!!!!
suzydymna So....
Well, we know we can’t believe anything ABC says. Until they come clean about Epstein, I won’t believe anything they publish.
Wahabi terrorism
Saudi national obtaining training for flight. But mexican kids with the flu can die like dogs but this guy gets posh treatment at ice? Wtf trump.
I wonder what religion he was. 🤔
DSFF
Nice. We need gun control? No we need to cut this crap off.
Why is our military training Saudi nationals here in the US? Surely not just to be PC. Shame.
Hairybizness OPEN BORDERS!!
Not to be insensitive but I seem to remember an incident in 2001 involving Saudi nationals taking flight lessons that ended badly. Are we really doing this poor of a job keeping eyes on people that fit the same M.O.?
Glad I live in London, much safer than the States
Flight training. 🙄
Diversity right?
Enriched...
How is it they are always in flight training?
suzydymna SaudiTerrorist
Where have we heard this story before?!!?!
outdoorsie500 TRUMP LOVES THE SAUDIS
Sooo many questions here !!! But can see more and more voters speaking loud and clear next November in favor of a STRONG vetting, border enforcement... TRUMP2020
This will get buried faster than Jeffery Epstein.
Religion of peace strikes again
When I was in the US, some Americans pretended to be tolerant, but at the same time they tried to do anything to get a reaction from me so they can call police have me arrested.
Whoa ABC!!! Shhhhh... you can’t say the S word. They’ll hear you.
Let the Anti-Muslim hate commence.
Aww the next generation of high jackers trained by the US government , how nice🤫
I was in the United States and they don’t want us to prove we’re peaceful & civilized; so they misplaced my stuff, asked someone to piss me off, asked a girl to drag me down, and yet tried to make me question my mental health by telling me that I “imagined” what happened.
Obviously a DeepState Saudi 😒
Nothing to see here. Saudis are our friends, right MAGAs?
LibertarianBlue Expect this story to disappear rather quickly from the news cycle. Veterans aren't as high up on the progressive stack as the LGBT community is, so there won't be any hemming and hawing like we saw with the Pulse shooting. This one will simply be memory-holed soon.
WTH?! Why in the world are we allowing ANY foreign nationals to flight train or train for anything else? Things like THIS directly threaten our national security, just like an unsecured border. I'm SO sick and tired of being a normal American put at the bottom of the priorities!
Satan in more action
Well, no shit.
A Saudi? How can that be? He comes from the country that loves to cut journalists in pieces and are close friends to Trump and Kushner...so they are according Trump the good guys.
No one kills no one here in Saudi Arabia, it’s very rare to have crims in KSA. We have foreigners and tourists and everyone is safe. You should find out whether his American colleagues have provoked him somehow or got under his skin.
For what train'g!? No! A bell rings again n 911.
Fight training ? Well isn't that special 🤪
So he wasn’t even US Military
So Trump is in debt to Saudi Arabia and we continue to fund a terrorist country. Meanwhile his cult followers and sheep are still petrified to death about the mother and her three starving children trying to enter the US from Honduras. That makes perfect sense.
It happened at hill afb in 1986, it's time to move them out
AGAIN?
Why do we do this. Remember 9/11
ChristieC733 In the name of political correctness, our soldiers die. How dumb can we be?
I hope we don’t offer ICBM training too
So it was terrorism.
RobElgasABC7 Still importing Saudi terrorists 15 years later.
ChristieC733 9/11
PENTAGON what you been doing? Haven’t you got your lesson in 9/11? How could you still allow such murderers in your own navalbase to teach flying?! You are too busy in Middle East and neglect your own backyard Right
Clayton_Sandell That's just great... How on earth did he get his hands on a firearm? Was he properly vetted? What on earth happened?
LibertarianBlue Explains the silence from the MSM
Political correctness is literally killing America smh
Shades of 9/11
Ask Jared🥴
Diversity is our strength
Flight training Saudi..... This is so ironic
Flight training. Hmm. Rings a bell. NEVERFORGET
The solution to this problem is simple. Sell them billions of dollars of our military aircraft = Profit!
eat lead amerimutts
Heard this plot before
Another triumph for Trump's foreign policy.🤣
Fuck Saudi Arabia.
MORE: Investigators are trying to determine whether the shooting was terror-related, law enforcement officials say.
“I’m not like a fool that says, ‘We don’t want to do business with them.’ And by the way, if they don’t do business with us, you know what they do? They’ll do business with the Russians or with the Chinese.” - realDonaldTrump
Shocking
Huh🙄
Oh but trump is best friends with the Saudis. Why would they kill any Americans? Say it is not so LOL
Let’s sell more arms to Saudi Arabia!
Deja vu
So America sends troops to SA to protect them from Iran while they send troops America to kill American soldiers?
One of Kushner’s buddies?
Let’s see. Saudi. Seeking flight training. That sounds familiar … OK sure, come on down!
Flight training? This sounds familiar.
QUID PRO QUO
Yeah he was Nothing to see here, move along
This is another tragic example of how gun control is a failure. Majority of Service Members are disarmed on base. Military bases should not be 'gun free' zones.
It's time to look at DOD Directive 5210.56 again. All service members should be allowed to carry personal firearms on base immediately. We have no way to protect ourselves.
Totally normal. Russia wins when we all just kill each other.
Why is it inappropriate to ask that question? Authority they don’t like Questions 💯💯🙌❗️
chipfoxx Aw fuck this was my first duty station
So very tragic. Even worse near the Holidays. Just too many tragedies. Military Helicopter crashed then shooting in Hawaii now this!
A normal Friday in the USA...
When they ask if it’s an act terrorism and the public speaker gets scared to answer you know the shooter is ?
Cops will blow you away even if you’re an innocent bystander. They don’t give a F.
how did this guy get onto the base. aren't there guards there. years ago they were the SP. don't know if they changed the name.
All this shooting makes no sense.
It never ends. We are still in the goddam wild west.
Trump to make a statement that he won the election in a landslide in 3... 2... 1...
🤨
