The Navy has grounded 175 Saudi military exchange students from flight training
While the pause in flight operations is of unknown duration, the classroom portion of their training “will resume this week,” she said.
Of the 175 Saudi students, 140 are at Pensacola and 35 are at Naval Air Station Whiting Field, also in Florida, according to Genualdi. A third base, Naval Air Station Mayport, is also affected, she added. Law enforcement officials have questioned other Saudi students at Pensacola, some of whom reportedly took cell phone video at the scene of the attack.
In addition to the three sailors killed, another eight persons were wounded in the shooting. The attacker, a Royal Saudi Air Force second lieutenant, was killed at the scene, and investigators are trying to determine his motive. On Monday, the U.S. Northern Command ordered military bases around the country to implement new security procedures, including more random checks, in the wake of the Pensacola attack and another shooting earlier in Hawaii.
