Alabama Man Killed In Florida Naval Base Shooting: Report

Joshua Kaleb Watson, an Enterprise High School graduate and an Alabama native was one of the people killed Friday during a shooting at Naval Air Station Pensacola, according to multiple local media reports and social media postings.

Watson attended the U.S. Naval Academy where he was a member of the school's rifle team and was also named to the Commandant's and Dean's List.

"We truly lost an incredible young man that would have made this country, this world a better place," Enterprise High School wrote in a social media post remembering the 2014 graduate.

The Pensacola News Journal reported Watson's family said his actions saved countless lives.

"Joshua Kaleb Watson saved countless lives today with his own," his brother, Adam Watson, wrote, per the Journal. "After being shot multiple times he made it outside and told the first response team where the shooter was and those details were invaluable.

"He died a hero and we are beyond proud but there is a hole in our hearts that can never be filled."

Watson's father, Benjamin Watson, told the paper his son had dreamed of joining the military since he was 5.

The shooting that took Watson's life occurred in the early morning hours of Friday and resulted in the death of four people, including the gunman. U.S. and Saudi officials on Friday evening identified the gunman as Ahmed Mohammed al-Shamrani, who was in training funded by Saudi Arabia, according to Pentagon spokesman Chris Garver.
