Modly on recent shootings at Navy bases: "Our entire Navy and Marine Corps team is struck and deeply saddened by the attacks within our own naval family over the past several days, at Little Creek, Virginia, last week, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on Wednesday, and today in Pensacola, Florida. These acts are crimes against all of us. Our prayers are with the families of the fallen and with the wounded. It is our solemn duty to find the causes of such tragic loss and ceaselessly work together to prevent them. Let us make concerted efforts to care for the families of those lost, and those wounded, visibly and not. Let us shepherd them through these first moments of despair, and make them, and our greater Naval family, whole and strong." UPDATE2: The person who shot and killed three people and injured a number of others at NAS Pensacola was a Saudi national who was attending flight training, according to a statement from House Homeland Security Committee Ranking Member Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.). The suspected shooter was 2nd Lieutenant Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the case who spoke on condition of anonymity. President Donald Trump tweeted that the Saudi king called to express his condolences following the attack.

It was not known whether the six Saudis detained were students. There was no immediate indication that those filming the incident were connected to the gunman, the person said. UPDATE4: Active duty naval student-pilot Joshua Watson of Coffee, Ala., had recently graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy and looked forward to a military career. The 23-year-old was being hailed a hero - in his last minutes of life – after leading first responders to an active shooter on Dec. 6 at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Fla. His brother, Adam, said Watson saved countless lives with his own. “After being shot multiple times he made it outside and told the first response team where the shooter was and those details were invaluable,” Adam Watson wrote on Facebook. “He died a hero,” he said, “but there is a whole (sic) in our hearts that can never be filled.” The anguish spread from Pensacola to Americans across the country who were in shock of Friday’s shooting that left four dead, including the shooter, a Saudi officer in training. The two other victims were identified as Airman Mohammed Sameh Haitham of St. Petersburg, Fla, and Airman Apprentice Cameron Scott Walters of Richmond Hill, Ga. Eight others were injured, including two Escambia County (Fla.) Sheriff Office deputies.

The official was briefed by federal investigators, and spoke on condition of anonymity. He says authorities tell him one Saudi student was recording outside the building while the shooting took place. He says 10 Saudi students are being held at the base and that several others are still unaccounted for. (Source: WKRG 12/07/19)
