Official: Base shooter watched shooting videos before attack
AP ^ | 12 07 2019 | BRENDAN FARRINGTON

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.

One of the three students who attended the dinner party videotaped outside the building while the shooting was taking place at Naval Air Station Pensacola on Friday, said the U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity after being briefed by federal authorities. Two other Saudi students watched from a car, the official said.

The official said 10 Saudi students were being held on the base Saturday while several others were unaccounted for.

U.S. officials had previously told the AP they were investigating possible links to terrorism.

The student opened fire in a classroom at the base Friday morning, killing three people.

A U.S. official who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity on Friday identified the shooter as Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani. The official wasn’t authorized to discuss the matter publicly. The official also said the FBI was examining social media posts and investigating whether he acted alone or was connected to any broader group.

If I was in a class room (or anywhere they might be) with foreigners, I would be watching their asses all the time and ready to pull my trigger.

They should cancel Jack Dorsey’s passport before he leaves the country for allowing one of these terrorists to post his sh$t there, too. Laura Loomer tried to warn everybody from her Twitter account that he was allowing terrorists to post there, but she was permanently banned for doing so. All well....

Remove all Saudis from this country, end any and all aid to Saudi Arabia, and put the country on the do not enter list.

That’s it, done with them.

Anybody who was there should be arrested and immediately shipped to GITMO to live happily ever after.

At least, this time, we’re holding some of them and it sounds like we’re trying to find more. After 911, W and/or the deep state shipped all the suspicious Saudis home while the rest of us were still grounded. And Obama would probably have invited them to the White House. Trump hasn’t achieved perfection, but he’s made progress.
