Pensacola Active Shooting

On Friday, December 6th, 2019, there was an active shooter at Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida. At least 11 people were rushed to area hospitals while four people are deceased (including the suspect). Two deputies were shot, one in the arm and one in the leg, but they are expected to survive, officials told the media.

“It covered two floors from that one building. It is a bit like a movie because you have spent shell casings all over,” said Amber Southard, a sheriff’s office spokeswoman during a press conference. AP reported the building was Building 633.

At 6:51 a.m., the call went out, according to the Escambia County Sheriff, who said he couldn’t release all details because the investigation was ongoing. “I want to assure our community that the threat has been negated. Our community is secure at this time,” he said. “This strikes home particularly hard for me as a retired military member. Walking through the crime scene was like being on the set of a movie. You just don’t expect this to happen at home.”

Two officers “negated the threat” and are in the hospital but expected to recover, according to the sheriff, who indicated that one of his officers took down the suspect.

In the aftermath of the attacks on 9/11, Newsweek reported that three of the hijackers had the addresses on their driver’s licenses listed as being at NAS Pensacola. The article notes that Naval Air Station Pensacola is known as the “Cradle of U.S. Navy Aviation.” Those three hijackers were all Saudi-nationals.

Pensacola Shooting Victims

Four people are deceased (including the suspect), and more were wounded when the shooting broke out on December 6, 2019, at 6:45 a.m., according to the sheriff. Two deputies were shot, one in the arm and one in the leg, but they are expected to survive, officials told the media.

The reports of a Pensacola active shooter come after an active shooter wounded three people, killing two of them, at the Pearl Harbor Naval Base in Hawaii.

The shooting comes 2 days after the Pearl Harbor Shooting

In the Pearl Harbor incident, Gabriel Romero was identified as the U.S. sailor who shot three Department of Defense civilian workers at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard, killing two. Romero, 22, then shot himself. He was using his service weapon. He was an on-duty submariner who had faced disciplinary problems at work.

“Active shooter is deceased,” the U.S. Navy also confirmed on Twitter. The shooter is “confirmed dead,” the Escambia County Sheriff wrote on its Facebook page on December 6, 2019. “The ECSO can confirm there is no longer an active shooter on NAS Pensacola.” The conditions of those wounded were not released.
