Three sailors shot Friday morning at Naval Air Station Pensacola
The three are Airman Apprentice Cameron Scott Walters, 21, a student at Naval Aviation Schools Command, of Richmond Hill, Georgia; Airman Mohammed Sameh Haitham, 19, a student at Naval Aviation Schools Command, of St. Petersburg, Fla.; and Ensign Joshua Kaleb Watson, 23, a student at Naval Aviation Schools Command, of Coffee, Alabama.
The first victim was Ensign Joshua Kaleb Watson, 23, who graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy this year.
Watson was a native of Enterprise, Alabama who was actively involved in JROTC and National Honor Society in high school.
After graduating from high school in 2014, he spent four years at the US Naval Academy, where he competed as part of the academy’s elite rifle team. He graduated from the academy in May and was commissioned as an ensign.
Benjamin Watson said it was his son's dream to one day become a Navy pilot and he reported to flight training in Pensacola two weeks ago. He told the paper, "He died serving his country."
In a heartbreaking tribute on Facebook, Watson's brother wrote that he “saved countless lives today with his own.”
“After being shot multiple times he made it outside and told the first response team where the shooter was and those details were invaluable. He died a hero,” wrote his brother Adam.
In an interview with the Pensacola News Journal, Watson's father told the paper his 23-year-old son was shot at least five times.

The terrorist was shot dead on site.Political Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

Yep, a Saudi National was shot dead. Other associates were rounded up. Some reports of the associates recording the incident on cell phones, although conjecture at this time.
A tragic event indeed.

The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.
Imagine making politics your entire personality. -
