During her visit, the Ambassador met with the command of the base and reiterated her condemnation of the attack.

Investigators believe a Saudi Air Force lieutenant acted alone when he killed three people and wounded eight at the US Navy base before being fatally shot by police, the FBI said on Sunday. Rachel Rojas, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Jacksonville office, said the shooter used a Glock model 45 9mm handgun that he had purchased legally in Florida. “We currently assess there was one gunman who perpetrated this attack and no arrests have been made in this case,” Rojas, the lead investigator on the case, said at a news conference. “We are looking very hard at uncovering his motive and I would ask for patience so we can get this right,” she said
