No, I won’t go into a scold here, but what was missed with the vetting\/screening procedure that let that shooter slip through so easily?<\/p>\n

If not that, then once he came here on this student pilot program, what happened?<\/p>\n From the article:\u00a0 WASHINGTON \u2014 The Pentagon on Tuesday ordered a broad review of vetting procedures for international students who participate in training on U.S. military installations and demanded the process be strengthened, in direct reaction to last week\u2019s deadly shooting at a Pensacola Navy base by a Saudi aviation student.<\/p>\n The memo signed by Deputy Defense Secretary David Norquist also suspends flight and other operational training for all Saudi Arabian students in U.S. military programs. It follows a decision by the U.S. Navy to halt flight training for more than 300 Saudi Arabian students at the Pensacola Naval Air Station and two other bases in Florida.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The FBI confirmed Tuesday that the 21-year-old Saudi Air Force officer who killed three U.S. sailors and injured eight other people at the Pensacola base on Friday\u00a0legally bought the 9mm Glock pistol<\/a> he used. Investigators are digging into whether 2nd Lt. Mohammed Alshamrani acted alone, amid reports he hosted a party earlier last week where he and others watched videos of mass shootings. – article<\/p>\n<\/div>\n So what did happen? Did someone miss something that might otherwise have barred Alshamrani from participating in this program? Or did he get a burr under his saddle after he came here?\u00a0 No way of finding out now.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n\n
