He used a pistol for his assault on the Saudi soldier in training at the naval base in Pensacola, Florida, where he killed three people and wounded seven more before being killed by an agent. The US media report, identifying him as Lieutenant Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, an Saudi air force officer who attended the flight school at the base, one of hundreds of foreign soldiers who receive training here.
Investigators are investigating the motive of the gesture and do not exclude the terrorist track.

Shortly before firing at the Pensacola naval air base in Florida, the Saudi air force official had posted on Twitter a brief manifesto in which he defined the United States "the nation of evil". The Site, the website for monitoring online jihadism, reports this. "They are against evil and America as a whole has turned into an evil nation," wrote the killer identified as Mohammed al-Shamrani. "I am not against you simply because you are American, I do not hate you because of your freedoms, I hate you because every day you support, finance and commit crimes not only against Muslims, but also against humanity", reads the message of killer, writes the Site. The Saudi air force officer attended the flight school at the base in Florida, one of the hundreds of foreign soldiers who receive training there.

Six Saudis were arrested for questioning in connection with the shooting at the Pensacola airborne base in Florida, where a Saudi officer shot and killed three people before being killed in turn. The New York Time reports this. According to what the newspaper writes, three of the six arrested filmed the shooting, a person informed of the initial phases of the investigation.
