A Saudi commanding officer has ordered all students from the country to remain at one location at the base, officials also said at the news conference. The FBI and others are trying to establish whether the attack Friday was an act of terrorism and whether the gunman, 2nd Lt. Mohammed Alshamrani, 21, of the Royal Saudi Air Force, acted alone. Alshamrani was a flight student at Pensacola, where members of foreign militaries are routinely trained by the US.
The US has sought the assistance of Saudi officials as they try to piece together information about the gunman and his motive. President Donald Trump declined to say whether the shooting was terrorism-related but said Saturday that he would review policies governing foreign military training in the US.
