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 Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, an aviation student from Saudi Arabia, and investigators are looking into whether the attack is terrorism-related, a U.S. official told Fox News.

The shooter -- who was wielding a handgun, despite firearms not being allowed on base -- was confronted and taken out by a pair of responding officers, officials said. Two people were killed at the scene while a third victim died after being rushed to a local hospital. Seven others suffered injuries and are undergoing treatment, including the two officers, one of whom was shot in the arm and the other in the knee. Both are expected to survive.

I am told 6 other Saudis have been arrested. So many Saudis suffering from mental illness...

Who would have thought teaching Saudis aviation would be so dangerous.

Seeing as they're in the crosshairs of the Iranians, and we're now a net exporter of oil and Natural gas, I'd say yes.

Screen Shot of the shooter's archived twitter account, the resolution is probably better on the site.
