U.S. President Donald Trump said he received a condolence call from King Salman of Saudi Arabia over the shooting today (December 6, 2019) at Pensacola Naval Air Station (NAS), committed by a Saudi officer who was in Florida for training, according to the RT website.
King Salman "said that the Saudi people are greatly angered by the barbaric actions of the shooter, and that the person in no way, shape or form represents the feelings of the Saudi people who love the American people," Trump said in a tweet today.
The Saudi ruler also expressed condolences and extended his sympathies to the relatives and friends of the three people killed and seven injured in this morning's attack.
Officials have confirmed that the attacker was an officer from Saudi Arabia who was being trained at the NAS in Pensacola, Florida. He was killed in a shootout with sheriff's deputies, who were called to the scene of the attack.
