Alshamrani opened fire inside a classroom this morning.

“I'm extremely concerned by the reports that this shooter was a foreign national training on a U.S. military base in Florida," the former Florida governor of said in a statement. "Today, I’m calling for a full review of the U.S. military programs to train foreign nationals on American soil."

"There is no reason we should be providing state-of-the-art military training to people who wish us harm," Scott continued. "And most importantly, there is no reason to risk the safety and security of our American men and women in uniform."
