Investigators have been trying to determine what motivated a gunman who opened fire in a classroom building on Friday at the Naval Air Station Pensacola. He used a handgun and was killed after two deputies exchanged gunfire with him.
The shooter was identified by the FBI as Mohammed Alshamrani -- a 21-year-old second lieutenant in the Saudi Arabian air force. He was a student naval flight officer, according to an FBI spokesperson. The shooter does not appear to have ties to terrorist groups, two sources told CNN.
Escambia County Sheriff David Morgan told CNN's Erin Burnett that the FBI had secured the areas on base where the shooter was staying and they had recovered his laptop and cell phone.
A senior administration official told CNN that investigators found some concerning statements and online materials but noted that it was still early in the investigation.
Before Friday's attack, Alshamrani watched mass shooting videos at a dinner party, The New York Times reported, citing a source with knowledge of the investigation but not authorized to speak publicly.
Alshamrani and a small group of Saudi nationals had just traveled to New York City over the Thanksgiving holiday, a law enforcement source told CNN.
They visited several museums and the Rockefeller Center, where the Christmas tree lighting was taking place. Authorities don't know why they traveled to the city...

Taqiya - where, according to sharia law, a Muslim is allowed to lie to the infidel. As long as they adhere to this particular practice, any agreement or treaty with Muslims is worthless.
He was a Moslem. That was his motivation. None other is needed once the Moslem killer is identified.
Trump is not looking good here .
His base is fed up .
We demand action regarding these Saudi funded attacks here and these
mosques terrorist centers built .
He may not have EXPLICIT ties, but he and his buddies had a terrorist movie party. Is it possible to trust any Saudis?
We never seem to learn the obvious lessons!
Muslims have a trigger. They go wild and start killing westerners upon the command of their cleric.
My advice is DEPORT ALL SAUDIS OUT OF THE US FOR ONE YEAR.
They should as a minimum be posthumously given Purple Hearts if not higher honors for their bravery and sacrifice. This was a combat situation in a war on terrorism.
I’m wondering what the Saudi pilot was doing there. Flight training? The Saudi air force is F-15 based along with a few other aircraft. In a quick search I couldn’t find any overlap between US. Navy aircraft and Saudi air force aircraft. So he wasn’t there to train “in type.” Do they do primary flight school there at NAS Pensacola? In other words did this Saudi murderer just get assigned to flight school and our Navy is teaching it? I know we routinely train allied pilots. I guess the AF / Navy crossover thing seems odd. And I would have thought foreign pilots would get simple basic flying instruction at home, and only come here for more advanced training in type.
“Can’t figure out a motive.”
Why are they here to begin with? President trump screwed this one by allowing this travesty to happen. He has some weird love for Saudi Arabia. Kick all them out.
So I’m not the only one with that question. Why was he in Pensacola and not an Air Force base? (Shouldn’t have been here at all.)
It’s Islam, stupid.
Islam cannot be peaceful.
It’s against their religion.
They are commanded to wage war on infidels until everyone on earth has submitted, which they have been doing for 1397 years.
It’s in their book.
Trump needs to shut down these insane programs now.
Fire this swamp monster Director who is a Dem plant.
Obama placed many muzzie Brotherhood plants there .
“These investigators - are these the same people who are portrayed in TV shows like NCIS? When they say they can’t find a motive, it always comes out as the dumbest thing a grown-up has said today, this month, whatever.”
Maybe the government should actually hire the actors from TV (NCIS, FBI, Criminal Minds). They seem to be extremely competent, unlike their real life counterparts.
Sadly, the real teams probably are, but then everything they do/say has to be approved/filtered by apparatchiks.
Texas muzzie Army shrink doctor mass shooter openly preached JIHAD during his medical lectures, in uniform.
Went around his base in sandals, flowing man dress, knit skullcap.
He lacked only a camel and IED.
The US military is a new weird force for GLOBALISM.
It does not belong to America.
It was white nationalism! Racist white supremacism!
Go ahead and say it FBI. You know you really want to.
Good meme. We won’t survive our own stupidity.
Is the commander of that base one of Odungo’s handpicked neuters? Afraid to state the obvious lest he offend Saudis? Go ahead, you eunuch, say it.

It really does sound like the kenyan never left the White Hut.
I believe I read he was training to be an F-15 weapons system office and that the USAF had moved their back seat training to Pensacola. Could be wrong there. Unsurprisingly, the media has been slow gathering facts on this one.
