The FBI has declined to release the identity of the shooter at a Florida naval base, and would not comment on his possible motivations.
During a news conference on Friday night, the FBI's special agent in charge of the Jacksonville Field Office, Rachel L. Rojas, said, "there are many reports circulating, but the FBI deals only in facts."
"This is still very much an active and ongoing investigation."
An aviation student from Saudi Arabia opened fire in a classroom at the Naval Air Station Pensacola on Friday morning, killing three people.
The Saudi government quickly condemned the attack and U.S. officials were investigating for possible links to terrorism.
The assault, which ended when a sheriff's deputy killed the attacker, was the second fatal shooting at a U.S. Navy base this week and prompted a massive law enforcement response and base lockdown.
Twelve people were hurt in the attack, including the two sheriff's deputies who were the first to respond, Escambia County Sheriff David Morgan said.
One of the deputies was shot in the arm and the other in the knee, and both were expected to recover, he said.
