It was a hot-blooded crime last December 2019, done with a terrorist and jihadist motivation of anger and hatred, that caused the violent deaths of three United States sailors who were shot dead at the Naval Air Station Pensacola. The killer was Mohammed Alshamrani, a 21-year-old member of the Royal Saudi Air Force who was training at the base with his 21 companions. He was killed by security. Fifteen of the 21 other Saudi trainees on the training course were found to have anti-American and jihadist comments on their laptops, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and, equally shocking, that they had child pornography contents on their laptops too.
