In the United States, a preliminary investigation was conducted into the shooting at a military base in Florida. The information was confirmed that the fire was opened by the junior lieutenant of the Saudi air force Ahmad Mohammad Al-Shamrani, who at that time was undergoing flight training in the United States. It is known that in addition to Shamrani, several more Saudi military personnel were trained at the air base.
According to US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, a Saudi officer opened fire with a Glock 45 pistol, which he purchased at a local rifle store weapons.
The materials of the preliminary investigation provide evidence of the military personnel of the base, where they speak of Shamrani as a person who constantly expressed dissatisfaction with US policy.
In particular, the document contains such a statement by Shamrani, recorded from the witness:
It is alleged that Shamrani expressed dissatisfaction with the American instructor James Day, who served at the Pensacola air base. Shamrani called him sexually preoccupied and even filed an official complaint against him with command this spring.
Shamrani was trained at the American base under the 3 summer training program. The completion of the training course was to take place in January 2020 of the year.
