Saudi Aviation Students Grounded After Deadly Shooting at the Pensacola Navy Base
The US has grounded a few hundreds of military aviation students of Arabian ethnicity at various bases all around the county. The news was circulated after yet another deadly shooting took place in Florida.
The shooting, carried out by a lieutenant of the Saudi Air Force who was shot by police shot down three sailors posted at a navy base. The FBI is investigating to reason out the motive behind the attack, the most prominent being terrorism. This only meant that the obscure relationship between Saudi and the US again stirred a lot of questions.
A pause on operations has been issued by Commander Megan Isaac, Navy Lt for Saudi aviation students across the country. All flying courses will be paused under this temporary announcement but they will continue to hold class. 303 students of Saudi Arabian ethnicity have been tied under the no-fly rule positioned at three naval air stations in Florida: Mayport, Pensacola, and Whiting Field.
As per reports released by a Pentagon official, a total of 852 students across various aviation military programs have been considered under this boycott which is expected to last between five to ten days. Talks have been going on for complete scrutiny of 5,000 foreign military trainees in the US air force.
Mark Esper, Defense Secretary said that they are looking into changing and modifying security measures across all US bases. The president has also considered looking into the existing foreign military programs to see if anything needs modification.
The three victims of this deadly shooting have been identified as Mohammed Sameh Haitham (19), Joshua Kaleb Watson (23), and Cameron Scott Walters (21).
The incident took place on two floors within the classroom building that ended when the gunman was shot dead by a sheriff’s deputy. The gunman has been identified by the FBI as Mohammed Alshamrani (21).
A total of eight people were injured in the shooting that included two officers and is expected to recover soon. The FBI also said that the ammunition used in the shooting by Alshamrani was a 9mm handgun that is legal in the country.
Easy rider, easy glider, incomprehensive life definitions, movies and coffee, mist and mountains and also prolific dissociation. If I break the frenzy into concrete steps of hows and whats, the anticipation will be gone. Life is but a shipwreck of all our corporate plannings. It is awful but oh so beautiful!
