Official: Saudi student who fatally shot three at Navy base watched shooting videos before attack
PENSACOLA, Fla. — The Saudi student who fatally shot three people at a U.S. naval base in Florida hosted a dinner party earlier in the week where he and three others watched videos of mass shootings, a U.S. official told The Associated Press on Saturday.
The assault, which prompted a massive law enforcement response and base lockdown, ended when a sheriff's deputy killed the attacker. Eight people were hurt in the attack, including the deputy and a second deputy who was with him. During a news conference Friday night, the FBI declined to release the shooter's identity and wouldn't comment on his possible motivations.
He said the king told him that “this person in no way shape or form represents the feelings of the Saudi people."
