The FBI is investigating a fatal shooting that took place at a U.S. Navy base in Florida under the presumption that it was “an act of terrorism,” the bureau said in a news conference on Dec. 8.

Special agent Rachel L. Rojas said there have been no arrests so far over the Dec. 6 shooting at Naval Air Station Pensacola and that all international students at the base have been accounted for. The community is under no immediate threat, she said.
