this was an act of terrorism this allows us to take advantage of investigative techniques that can help us more quickly identify and then eliminate any additional potential threats to the rest of our community as we have stated multiple times our investigation has not led us to any information that indicates any credible threat to our community let's cross live now to mike hanna who joins us from washington d.c. and has been following the story so we just heard there from the f.b.i. saying that they're now working on the presumption the attack was an act of terrorism but do we know whether they're any closer to finding details about a possible motive. well at this stage they still investigating the motive as you
1:03 am
heard from the f.b.i. officer there the presumption in all these active shooter incidents is that it is an act of terrorism the motive they say at this stage it appears that the gunman was acting alone but that has not been firmly established at this particular point the officer mentioned 2 that a number of fellow saudi nationals are being held on the base they are restricted to the base under the command of a saudi officer they are participating in ongoing interrogation by the investigators they are cooperating as well at this particular stage but the motive of the extent to which others may or may not have been involved in the attack is something that the investigators still attempting to find out now on the issue of what kind of act it was well no doubt at all on the part of the congressman from florida he was insistent that it was what he called an act of premeditated terrorism and he says that the program in which saudi nationals come to the u.s.
1:04 am
to train at military bases must be frozen until the investigation is completed we need to have a review of this program and it's my belief that as secretary asper is looking at the record keeping the accounting for the saudi nationals that are in our country the continuous observance and monitoring of their activities to ensure that there is not radicalization while that's going on we should pause this program we should not be taking new incoming saudi students until we are absolutely confident in our vetting process and mike any potential terrorist attack is of course sensitive for the country involved but the the fact that this the person involved here is a saudi national how does that heighten the situation for the u.s. . well it certainly creates greater problems creates a greater degree of sensitivity remembering of course that the majority of attackers in the $911.00 attacks were saudi arabia and so once again the american
1:05 am
public contemplating an attack by a saudi national on u.s. soil saudi arabia well aware of this particular fact as well which is why the king of saudi arabia was so quickly in contact with the president trump to express his condolences and to repudiate the action off the gunman so certainly this is a very sensitive situation adding to it is the fact that there are a number of other saudi nationals as well being held on that base they are being interrogated too so certainly this is something of concern to the american public and also of course of concern to saudi arabia in terms of its relations with the united states i can with the latest on that story from washington d.c. mike thank you. protest leaders in hong kong say $800000.00 people turned out for
