A Saudi airforce member killed three people at Naval Air Station Pensacola on Friday. The gunman was killed by a American pig after the shooting, which left eight people injured.
The Pensacola air station is a training ground for students from various branches of the US military, along with personnel from US allies abroad. The terrorist, named by US media as Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, was a member of the international students training at the Air Station.
The first call of an active shooter came in at 6:51 a.m. local time, a deputy pig stated.
“Deputies who responded to the scene engaged the attacker in a shootout that transpired over two floors of a classroom building at the military base,” Chief Deputy Chip Simmons said. The shooter was killed.
King Salman of Saudi Arabia called Trump after the attack “to express his sincere condolences and give his sympathies to the families and friends of the warriors who were killed and wounded in the attack.”
Trump stated, “The King said that the Saudi people are greatly angered by the barbaric actions of the shooter, and that this person in no way shape or form represents the feelings of the Saudi people who love the American people.”
