The gunman in a deadly shooting at Naval Air Station Pensacola in Florida was a second lieutenant in the Saudi Arabian military involved in flight training at the station, US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper said

Officials are looking into whether the shooting was terror-related as a possible motive, but it's still early in the investigation.Three people were killed in the shooting and at least eight others were injured and taken to a hospital, authorities said. Two law enforcement sources told CNN the shooter, who was killed, has been identified as Saudi Arabian national Mohammed Alshamrani.The gunman started his training in August 2017 as part of a three-year program.

— Donald J. Trump December 6, 2019 At a news conference, Gov. Ron DeSantis mentioned the connection to the Saudi Air Force and said that he had spoken to Trump about it. "There's obviously going to be a lot of questions about this individual being a foreign national, being a part of the Saudi Air Force and then to be here training on our soil," he said. "Obviously," DeSantis added,"the government of Saudi Arabia needs to make things better for these victims.

A shame that Saudis are still considered as allies, whereas every sane person would consider them as enemies and No. 1 security threat. Vote against any government who says so, they only represent the oil&gas and the jihadi lobby, NOT YOU...

We are still teaching Muslims how to fly ? Didn’t we do that once before?

If those who were attacked were Americans which seems to be ,the action has to be a terrorist action & if it is then it shows how deep the terrorists has been penetrated in corrupted Saudi's government no matter how much the king& mr trump want to cover it up.

The terrorist criminal in Florida does not represent Muslims

Religion of peace.

Imagine that - one of our “buddies” 🤨

I'm actually surprised you guys reported this. It doesn't fit your naraitve of Orange Man bad, and every white person is a white supremacists agenda.

Guess 911 was not enough for our Government. Lets train some more to fly into building and kill more Americans. How sad it has become that America is now about $$ instead of integrity and kindness. We sell military weapons that will be used against our own soldiers. $$$ US $$$$

Sponsored, remember 9/11!

😡

Saudi Arabia is not a NATO member or partner country. Why are their military officers training on US bases?

When Kashoogi was killed and dismembered by Saudi officials in Turkey Trump never condemned the Saudi dynasty neither did Saudi govt took any action. Today a Saudi has killed Americans and both Trump n Saudi dynasty are condemning What an irony God never sleeps

Why is it Saudis that keep killing Americans?

TRUMP 9/19: 'Saudi Arabia - and I get along great with all of them. They buy apartments from me. They spend $40 million, $50 million. Am I supposed to dislike them? I like them very much.' That's all we really need to know.

Un fumier / tous des terroristes ces saoudiens

So the gunman was an Islamic Terrorist who slaughtered US Army-men

So, it was a terrorist attack .

A Saudi Arabia terrorist strike again in the USA. It is so easy to get a gun in the USA that a terrorist from anywhere in the world can come to the USA and get a gun in one day and start killing Americans.
