The deadly shooting last month at a Florida naval air station was an act of terrorism, the Justice Department says
The shooting at a Naval air base in Pensacola, Florida, last month was an act of terrorism motivated by"jihadist ideology," Attorney General William Barr said at a news conference Monday.
Three US sailors were killed when 21-year-old Mohammed Alshamrani, a member of the Royal Saudi Air Force who was training at Naval Air Station Pensacola, entered a building on base and"proceeded to walk around shooting down his unarmed victims in cold blood," Barr said.
