(CNN) A number of Saudi nationals were detained after three people were shot dead and eight others injured at Naval Air Station Pensacola in Florida, a US official confirmed to CNN on Saturday. Two law enforcement sources earlier told CNN the shooter has been identified as Saudi Arabian national Mohammed Alshamrani. Authorities have not released victims' names or discussed what victims told them at the scene. Saad bin Hantim Alshamrani, an uncle of the shooting suspect, told CNN from Saudi Arabia that his nephew had done "nothing suspicious" before moving to the US. "There's always been international students training here because it's a good place to train, it's good quality training," he said.
