Saad Al-Shamrani, one of Muhammad Al-Shamrani’s uncles, was quoted by Okaz newspaper as saying that his actions do not reflect the "humanity and loyalty of his family" to the Kingdom's leadership.
He condemned the act of his brother’s son and stressed that he represents none but himself. Muhammad Al-Shamrani, a Air Force trainee, opened fire a US naval base
at Pensacola, Florida.
The uncle asserted that his tribe has been known since the era of the late King Abdulaziz for its members’ honorable stances. He emphasized that his tribe cannot but condemn and denounce this criminal act that is disapproved by the Saudi society.
“The news was a like a thunderbolt for us, because all the members of the tribe who have served the state and are still serving it with all sincerity and loyalty, always stress the importance of renouncing extremist thought.”
He said that Muhammad Al-Shamrani’s father is a retiree from the military corps. He drew attention to the fact that Muhammad Al-Shamrani was sent on scholarship to the US to specialize in developing airports equipment.
