PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) — A US official says the Saudi student who fatally shot three people at Naval Air Station Pensacola had hosted a dinner party earlier in the week to watch videos of mass

shootings. The official says a second Saudi student who attended the party recorded video outside the classroom building where the shooting was happening. The official

also says 10 Saudi students are being held at the base and that several others are unaccounted for. The official spoke on condition of anonymity after being briefed by

federal investigators.
