during the shooting at Naval Air Station Pensacola on Friday morning. The alleged shooter, identified by authorities as Mohammed Alshamrani, 21, a Saudi national and second lieutenant the country's air force who was in the United States for flight training, was shot and killed at the scene by Escambia County Sheriff's deputies, authorities said.
The bodies of the victim were being taken to Dover Air Force Base on Sunday night, according to Rear Adm. Gary Mayers, commander of the Navy Region Southeast. Investigators are being led to believe that this was not some sort of gathering called specifically to watch the videos or that the friends who were present were part of any plot. Investigators have been told the friends gathered with Alshamrani in an unplanned get-together in which Alshamrani apparently turned on the videos, the sources said.
"Our main goal right now is to confirm whether he acted alone or was he part of a larger network," Rojas said at Sunday's news conference."We currently assess there was one gunman who perpetrated this attack and no arrests have been made in this case." A key part of the investigation is taking place in Texas, three people briefed on the probe told ABC News.
On Wednesday, a 22-year-old naval sailor identified by the military as G. Romero allegedly opened fire on shipyard personnel at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard with his M4 service rifle and then used his M9 service pistol to shoot himself, the official said.
Shame on those who are sweeping this event under the rug.A uniformed Saudi military officer(in a conspiracy with other Saudi military members)shot & killed US mil personnel on a US mil base. This is more than terrorism, and this story is already almost gone from the news cycle.
ali Sailors, dammit. They were sailors. RIP. Fair winds and following seas, sailors.
ali Rest in peace heroes.
ali Too bad the media and socialist democrats do not have respect for those who serve and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for the United States of America, and it’s citizens Freedom and Liberty
they weren't airmen. What the fuck

SenRickScott Very touching and respectful. This brought tears to my eyes and chills for the respect this awesome patriot paid to our fallen heroes.
SunshineMustang This is so incredibly sad and tragic. Times three. There is absolutely no excuse for any US military personnel to be murdered on a United States Base, Fort, Post, or Camp, especially by someone who is not even a citizen of our country. ♥️🇺🇸Military💔

This did not have to happen. We have a ban on Muslims yet the ones from Saudi are training on our bases to fly. The only country that should have been banned is over here at trumps invite to train.

So the Saudis are allies of America? Am I getting this straight?
How can one say anything exept...Thank you for your service to protect the homeland and may you all rest in peace!😥❤
这才是他们的国家，值得爱的国家
None of them were airmen. Please take the time to honor their service by getting it right. Airmen are in the Air Force. These men were sailors.
That's terrible, who killed them?
This really got to me. RIP to all and thoughts for all the families connected including our sailors. Hard to watch without thinking of all of them.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
where is their uniforms everyday is a work day and liberty is cancelled until we get to the bottom of this recruits.
Send all the Saudi's home, not to be trusted

I hope NIS rescues this investigation from the Low IQ, weak FBI lead. Better yet, send those rags to sea and let the sailors take care of this
Eso se llama respeto
