Updates on the Pensacola shooting

Six Saudis detained in connection to Pensacola shooting after being caught filming the attack  . . . "A member of the Royal Saudi Air Force opened fire with a handgun in a classroom on base, killing three and injuring at least seven before being killed by police. A source briefed on the investigation told the New York Times that six people had been detained for questioning. Three of those people were seen filming the incident as it unfolded." . . .

Official: Base shooter watched shooting videos before attack  "The official who spoke Saturday said one of the three students who attended the dinner party hosted by the attacker recorded video outside the classroom building while the shooting was taking place. Two other Saudi students watched from a car, the official said.
"Ten Saudi students were being held on the base Saturday while several others were unaccounted for, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity after being briefed by federal authorities". . . .
"Family members on Saturday identified one of the victims as a 23-year-old recent graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy who alerted first responders to where the shooter was even after he had been shot several times.
“ 'Joshua Kaleb Watson saved countless lives today with his own,” his older brother Adam Watson wrote on Facebook. “He died a hero and we are beyond proud.”
"A second victim was identified as Mohammed “Mo” Haitham, 19, of St. Petersburg, Florida, who joined the Navy after graduating from high school last year, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
"Haitham’s mother, Evelyn Brady, herself a Navy veteran, said the commander of her son’s school called her and told her Haitham had tried to stop the shooter." . . .

"Shocker: Democrats Already Using Pensacola Shooting to Push Gun Control"

. . . "The other element in this story is the fact that guns are already forbidden on military bases. Even those carrying government-issued firearms are required to lack them in an arms room while they are on base. These weapons are only allowed to be used when they are required for training. If a member of the military is caught carrying a firearm on base in violation of the rules their career could be at risk. 

"To put it simply, the hard left is going to have a hard time spinning the Pensacola shooting into a piece of anti-gun propaganda. So don’t be surprised if the corporate media forgets about this story in a week or so." . . .
