Authorities say the man responsible for a mass shooting at a naval air station in Pensacola on Friday morning is a Saudi national who was attending flight school at the base. A few hours after the shooting, which officials say they are investigating as a potential terror attack, Saudi Arabia’s King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud called President Trump to disavow the suspect’s “barbaric” actions.

Just before 7 a.m. on Friday morning, a gunman (whose name is here withheld according to Daily Wire policy on naming mass shooters) opened fire in a classroom in the center of the campus of Pensacola’s Naval Air Base. The suspect wounded ten people, three of whom died, before he was shot dead by sheriff’s deputies.
