Active shooter at NAS Pensacola

Need to give us back our right to carry on base. This shit is ridiculous, that base has always been a poorly guarded soft target. Will be lucky if it’s “only” a dozen injured/killed
Let us know if you hear more.
From what I heard, saudi student. Shot the ensign on the quarterdeck then went to the IMT office. Shot by a sheriff deputy. Sad day
Watched the news conference and sounds like the Sheriff’s Deputies did a great job getting in there quickly. Sad day, hits too close to home...

It is often cautioned here not to speculate about a mishap, but we’ve not had a problem with inappropriate notifications here.
Looks like Fox and CNN are reporting the Saudi connection.

First let me express my condolences that those of you who have lost personal friends or co-workers in this incident. I hope that when the time is right, that those victims that were in the crime scene are offered Critical Incident Debriefing ( CID ) . I'm in LE, and unfortunately, our most recent line of duty death was on the 19th of this month, so this topic resonates with me. We have found that a CID goes a long way to help people recover from traumatic incidents, and although it does not replace professional clinical treatment when needed, the outcome is significantly better for those that are able to participate.
If anyone is involved in this situation, I can offer some connections that may be of help for your men and women that made it through this event. I'm sure that the Navy has systems in place, but it is my opinion that this loss is different that a training accident or combat loss. It's hard to convey tone in an e-mail, I'm not insinuating that the Navy is not prepared to take care of their own, but only that being involved in shooting such as this thankfully is not something that the service faces to often.
Respectfully,

Naval Air Station Pensacola shooter was Saudi aviation student, investigators eye potential terror link
The gunman who opened fire Friday morning at Naval Air Station Pensacola in Florida, fatally shooting three people, has been identified as an aviation student from Saudi Arabia as investigators are looking into whether the attack is terrorism-related.
Interesting they captured the viewpoint of many an IP in their commentary on dealing with the House of Saud...
