PENSACOLA, Fla. - Investigators believe a Saudi Air Force lieutenant acted alone when he killed three people and wounded eight at a U.S. Navy base in Pensacola, Florida, before being fatally shot by a deputy sheriff, the FBI said on Sunday.
“We are looking very hard at uncovering his motive and I would ask for patience so we can get this right,” she said, adding that 80 FBI special agents, 100 support staff and scores of other investigators from the Navy and multiple federal agencies were working the case.Rojas said the pistol he used - a Glock 9mm handgun that can be paired with a magazine holding 33 rounds - was legally purchased by the shooter somewhere in Florida. According to U.S.
Royal Saudi Air Force 2nd Lieutenant Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, airman accused of killing three people at a U.S. Navy base in Pensacola, Florida, is seen in an undated military identification card photo released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation December 7, 2019. FBI/Handout via REUTERS.U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday that King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman were “devastated” by what took place and pledged help families of the victims.
A group that tracks online extremism has said Alshamrani appeared to have posted criticism of U.S. wars in predominantly Muslim countries and quoted slain al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden on Twitter hours before the shooting spree.
He didn't act alone if one of his comrades took video of the attack...FBI needs to look again.
Acted alone? Are you shitting me Reuter’s?!
He acted alone until the next one comes along.
I think this statement says more about the safety of military personnel and the security systems around them than anything else.
Who would sell a weapon to a Saudi National? Something stinks here.
Is there any proof of his Saudi identity? Must be a CIA creation.
Saudi boot lickers.
denise_vaccaro It is illegal for any Alien who is not a Resident of the United States to legally. It is a violation of 18 USC 922. So, stop trying to crap on the 2A if don’t know what the hell your talking about-don’t
You can fool all of the people some of the time... Not buying this BS. How does a foreigner buy a hand gun legally? Nonsense...
people have been saying for years now that foreign terrorists buy US assault rifles because they can legally and cheaply, this really gives alot of credibility to that.
Legally bought the gun and killed people yet gun lovers keep claiming that mass shootings and gun violence are carried out by criminals with illegal weapons. Right 🙄
billpostmus How did he act alone, one guy was filming outside and two guys were waiting in a car-they didn’t shoot anyone, but they were involved!
Where is the outrage from the DelusionalDems? No foreign person should be allowed to legally purchase firearms in the US. Unless they are citizens! It is our constitutional right, NOT theirs!
I find it un-credible that the men that watched videos with him and then filmed him shooting up two floors and the men sitting in a car which was possibly a get away car are not involved in any way. Its reminiscent of LE telling us the Pulse nightclub shooters wife had no idea
so basically u saying it's not terrorism; it's a lone wolf attack...typical
Did Trump defend Saudi before any of our intelligence clarified? NOOO and that’s very crazy alarming
I don't hear trump ranting about the Saudi killer.
Let the cover up begin.
A good question is why is it legal for a non-permanent foreign national to purchase a weapon?
How did he legally purchase the weapon when he's not an American citizen?
Kick out all Saudis from US based military facilities once and for...they caused 911....
Proving our current gun laws are not adequate.
b.s.
Exactly how does a foreigner, presumably on a temporary visa, legally purchase a firearm?
and they know that how
“But they have yet to determine a motive for the rampage” He said it was because America is evil and bombs people. It was pretty clear.
How does a non-citizen purchase a firearm? What?
That’s what the 🍊🤡 told them to say so as to not interfere with kingdom business
That's good, we let some1 Not Born here but a Gun here but I can't get Any big names like C. & D. Loesch, Gov. Huckabee, NRA, or Any1 else 2 help me get a Pardon! I've even Tweeted the Pres 2 No Avail. I was Court Marshaled in 1981. I feel it's been long enough. Need2ndChance
Welcome to Florida! Where anyone with a pulse can buy a firearm and massacre innocent people.
FakeNewsMedia alert! FBI Investigation into whether gunman acted alone is ongoing...
We should trust the FBI. Have they told us yet what happened in Vegas or nah?
Get out of that alliance with that Saudi Wahabbi tribals and befriend Iran! Iranians are any day more cultured and educated compared to an ordinary wahabbi!
JonathanLanday Sureeeeeee...HE ACTED ALONE. There is a larger network called KSA ( our sugar/oil DADDY ) and they follow WAHHABISM.
Have we forgotten who was actually behind September 11?
Guns....bone saws....what's the difference?
Then why was it filmed?
Oh since when do Trump supporters believe the FBI? Oh, when dear leader tells them it’s ok
Do not believe
I never thought we’d get the point where I’m not entirely sure I can trust the FBI but here we are.... this does not add up.
Legally purchased? BS. Everyone knows if you pass a background check, THAT weapon CAN'T/WON'T be used to shoot or kill ANYONE. That is why background check laws were passed. Remember? It's odd news articles don't report how the shooter got the gun. Stop infringing on the 2A.
🤔🤔🤔
They don’t want to say terrorist they need that oil.
FBI 🙋🏼♂️how does a foreign national legally purchase a weapon on US soil?
Acted alone while three people filmed it. Yeah sure he did!
Sure.
Saudis can legally purchase arms in the United States?
Yah just like the 9/11 Saudis “acted alone”.
Totally acted alone. Except for the few scumbags who filmed it knowing in advance he was going to kill infidels...other than that. Alone. Nothing to see. But fbi will need more powers to monitor the rest of you now. Ok?
So why were 3 Saudis filming?
Just shows that gun laws are flawed when non citizens are buying guns legally. Only US citizens should have access to those
Suuuuuuuure
Sure he did
And the film crew?
Is Saudi friends with the US? When the crown prince ordered to kill a journalist, it was just swept under the carpet. Now if this guy was a Muslim (acted this along), I’m sure it would be deemed as terrorist attack. Are there under tables dealing between Saudi and US officials?
This is Insane lock them all up or send them home
Trump told FBI investigators do not classify Saudi mass shooter as terrorist, for fear of losing votes. Trump using Saudi money for gain and hopes his Quid Pro Quo dealings will not surface. The Saudi King has promised to compensate families of victims with large sums of money.
Move along, move along.
Prayers to all the families affected by this tragedy, and may God place his arms around you at this time and give you all peace in your hearts and your spirits God bless you all💖
He acted alone. But we do not know yet if he may have had encouragement form others and, to me that's enough to send those people home. Not all Saudis being trained. But those who would feel the same and encourage him. (And I live in FL.)
The Saudis are not to be trusted. All military cooperation, on the ground and commercially, needs to be suspended indefinitely by all nations.
WhiteHouse POTUS Is this the “Deep State FBI” that trump and the GOP are always attacking and denying their credibility or is this the FBI that the rest of America trusts and believes in?
So did all the Saudi Arabian highjackers in 9/11 just keep tell the people that !!
So the other islamic terrorists just happened to be there shooting video purely by accident.
[Ecc 9:11 NKJV] 11 I returned and saw under the sun that--The race [is] not to the swift, Nor the battle to the strong, Nor bread to the wise, Nor riches to men of understanding, Nor favor to men of skill; But time and chance happen to them all.
Yeah, but we all know SAUDI ARABIA are the world's biggest terorrist exporters.
Somehow I doubt that!
Oh hell NO! Not buying this BS.
Please don't tell me they are some Saudi prince's cousin twice removed and don't deserve to go to an American prison for a few years. At least the one recording!
So what will happen to the guy who recorded it and the 2 who waited in the car? The ones who sat up all night watching movies about mass shootings? They were at least co-conspirators. Please don't tell me we are going to ship them back without even a slap on the wrist!
But was still a member of a CULT
Sadly anything that comes from this admin is suspect. Who can we really trust for the truth anymore?
Yeah, sure. That’s why 3 have been arrested for filming the terror attack.
Either way, Trump couldn't wait to come to Saudi's defense just like he did with KhashoggiMurder. If Obama sided with Putin like in Helsinki, with Erdogan (who's backed by Islamic extremists) & Kim Jong-Un re: Otto... Trump fans would've died. Hypocrisy is a thing.
TheresaSchroe14 Like we are supposed to believe the FBI? Or Reuters, for that matter?
webbdv The program needs to be stopped! Says 3 families, friends and American patriots!
True ..
Guess that it is not related to the religion of peace. Yup. It is not. Just another crack head.
check his blood tie with bloody saudi crown KhashoggiMurder saudis
