Over 500 interviews have been completed in connection with the deadly shootings on NAS Pensacola.

The FBI says with help from law enforcement partners included NCIS and ICE, the investigation is continuing 24 hours a day, seven days a week “to ensure we have a comprehensive understanding of the attacker’s motivations and any possible network of associates”.

Joshua K. Watson, Mohammed S. Haitham and  Cameron S. Walters died in the shootings, while eight others have now been released from the hospital.

Gunman Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, a Saudi flight student, was shot and killed by law enforcement.

    Since 9 11, I was going on base as a contractor and when asked if I had a weapon I said no and when I got to the job site I open my console and there was my gun I forgot to take out of my truck. So it is not that hard if you go in and out a lot with same people on the gate who learn who you are. I don’t think I do that again though.

    I still want to know he got a gun on the base. I agree with sending them all back to their country. I’m sorry for stereotyping but the risk is to high

    Heard on news last night that there is consideration of moving the training for Saudi students to their own home country and Not in the USA.
    Training would be by US Military just as would be done here.
    A good many of the Saudi students are members of Royal Family.
    Sell them aircraft, train their crews, train the pilots yet do it on Saudi soil.

    Does anyone know what the Navy will do with the Shooters remains? Does he get to go back to his home land or does the Navy get him to dispose of? It was a question my daughter asked and we are not sure. Anybody know?

    My grandson went through basic flight with several Saudi students. Most of them remained isolated from classmates and weren’t well prepared for class.They were often rude to instructors and showed a superior attitude.

    We should help the Saudis establish their own instructor cadres and training centers in the Kingdom.

    The present approach is not working to develop discipline for the Saudi students and is potentially dangerous for US personnel who are asked to work with them

    They should send all of the Saudis back home right now from all of the bases where being trained. The Prince should be held liable for the actions of the Saudis that are here for all actions by them!!Really sad what happened to our soldiers. They had their whole life ahead of them. So very SAD!!!
