MIAMI, United States — The gunman who killed three people at a US Navy base in Florida before being shot dead by police on Friday was a Saudi national, US media reported.

CNN said the shooter who attacked a classroom at Naval Air Station Pensacola, leaving an additional seven people injured, was a member of the Saudi military and was training at the facility.

“There’s obviously going to be a lot of questions about this individual being a foreign national, being a part of the Saudi air force and then to be here training on our soil,” Florida governor Ron DeSantis told reporters.
