The Saudi gunman who killed three people at the Pensacola naval base had apparently gone on Twitter before the shooting to accuse America of being anti-Muslim, says a U.S. official as the FBI confirms it is treating the attack as an act of terrorism.

FILE- In this Jan. 29, 2016 file photo shows the entrance to the Naval Air Base Station in Pensacola, Fla. The US Navy is confirming that an active shooter and one other person are dead after gunfire at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola. Area hospital representatives tell The Associated Press that at least 11 people were hospitalized. The base remains locked down amid a huge law enforcement response.

Alshamrani, who was killed by a sheriff’s deputy during the rampage at a classroom building Friday, was undergoing flight training at Pensacola, where members of foreign militaries routinely receive instruction. Also, investigators believe the gunman visited New York City, including Rockefeller Center, days before the shooting and are working to determine the purpose of the trip, the official said.

Earlier in the week of the shooting, Alshamrani hosted a dinner party where he and three others watched videos of mass shootings, another U.S. official told the AP on Saturday.Family members and others identified the three dead as Joshua Kaleb Watson, a 23-year-old graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy; Airman Mohammed Sameh Haitham, 19, of St.

Rojas would not directly answer when asked whether other students knew about the attack beforehand or whether there was anything “nefarious” about the making of the video. She said that a lot of information needs to be confirmed by investigators and that she did not want to contribute to “misinformation” circulating about the case.

And he confirms why America is anti Muslim with his actions.

Under Trump he was correct?

Maybe the Gentleman in question forgot how Saudi and the US are in fraternity when it comes to the former buying weapons from the latter. dontbelievethehype

SaudiArabia GUNMAN KILLED THREE PEOPLE AT Pensacola NAVAL BASE... FBI CONFIRM ACT OF TERRORISM PRAYERS🙏🙏🙏🙏

How did this guy get a weapon? Haven't seen anything on that.

Why would anybody be that?

This sounds like a legitimate immigration concern

Well anti Muslim isn’t a stretch tho 🤷🏿‍♂️

Act of war by foreign military officers.

This was posted on Twitter PRIOR to the attack ? We need to shut them down! Or at least have congressional hearings as to why Twitter allowed this. (As they did for 8chan).

If trump loses nxt yr we are in serious trouble, they will let them all come here n we will be as unsafe as The U.K

It was the Saudis who perpetuated the crime and its brutality 911? They are ?

Presumes?

dbongino posted this two days ago just a tad late.

😠

realDonaldTrump 7th December 2015 Trump declared 'Donald J Trump is calling for a total & complete shutdown of all Muslims entering the US. I wonder where this Saudi trainee got the idea that America hates muslims? donlemon

How was a non-citizen able to purchase a gun in the first place? Was there a background check? A mental health assessment? A waiting period? Was his superior officer notified of purchase? How did this happen?

Shhhhhh, we can’t be offending the Saudi’s let Wait fir all their important ppl have left America & then just distract with invading Iraq again, like we did after 9/11.

What nobody in the realDonaldTrump admin wants to admit: when you sell billions of dollars of military equipment to your enemy, providing training to your enemy is part of the deal.

We’ve got to start separating Saudi Arabia the country and Middle East ally, from the individuals that come from there. We have ample proof that there are thousands of radicalized Muslims living there and we must vet anyone we allow into our military compounds.

Yep thats what it is Terrorism.

The Muslim terrorist visited NY City before his attack. The sight of all those uncovered women must have been too much for his Islamic sensibilities!! Beware whom you allied yourself with, liberal feminists!

And this was a person receiving training in US soil? Nice background check there government officials!! Idiots!!

Unfortunately, trump will use this to support disclosure of social media acct names on VISA applications. Ironic since he’s the one who added fuel to the distrust of Muslims.

You went to Florida...

I think it’s time, realDonaldTrump. RadicalIslamicTerror. RememberBenghazi

Awaiting to see how GOP & CadetBoneSpurs will spin this

Assumes? Lol

Obviously no one in the administration knows how to spell 'vetting' much less knowing what it means. When you can allow a foreign national onto our military bases with a Twitter account espousing hate for us you are aiding and abetting an enemy.

Good ole Saudi’s. Good ole Trump and Kushner buddies. Time for MDS to be given a state dinner at the White House. Check his luggage for chain saws.

And now it’s even more anti-Muslim. Well done, shooter.

MAGA

We will see more of this with the leadership we currently have now and the rhetoric they spew.

Well duh. Your so called leader is..

Yeah foreign and domestic terrorism. Do the president get this?

font=sarcasm No no, it’s okay. The Saudis are going to help the victims’ families financially. I’m pretty sure the president can benefit from this and isn’t that what really matters? /font=sarcasm

America is anti Muslim because Islam is incompatible with the Constitution.

This goes to show you that if you see something on here that looks Anti-American. For Gods sake say something!! You can even call your local police department to report anything suspicious.

Thanks for ruining it for others who are there to actually train and not to betray and murder US citizens. I wonder what the Navy will do now...

Obviously an act of terrorism yet....

Killing ppl is not going to help change that idea....

But not Dopey Donald cause the Saudis are his friend$$$$$

Thoes are Trump's buddies. Chop up our citizens Trump doesnt care. Shoot up our military Trump doesn't care. Well maybe the American people care. We will see.

Thanks Trump

Well you can’t blame him there, Trump leads the anti-Muslim parade...

Well POTUS certainly is. He has declared as much, in many forums.🙄😑

Lowest IQ

The same people who took down those towers in NYC. SAUDI

Gee, great way to make someone pro Muslim . Way isn’t Saudi Arabia on the no travel list.

And there it is. Why are Saudi nationals allowed to train on US military bases? Just in case anyone needs to hear this, Saudi Arabia is not a friend to the United States.

Where’s the Russia elected president at?

Yes shooting people will certainly help America’s view on Muslims

Gee now where would he get an idea like that?

Send home the rest of the Saudi soldiers on our bases DeptofDefense FBI Send home the 851 enemies left on our bases waiting to activate a terror plan for their nation who hates us and killed 3,000 of our people.

Too bad our President isnt and is more concerned about money. Bet your damn ass if it waa an immigrant, the narrative would be different.

Well his actions certainly won’t help matters.

Well they are

Maybe we need a Saudi Ban. Saudi AF pilot training on US soil. This sounds eerily familiar. Do Americans realize who is in their backyard? This should be a wake up call.
