The FBI said Tuesday that agents no longer suspect that a second individual aided the gunman who attacked Naval Air Station Corpus Christi<\/a>, Texas, last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agents initially said during a press conference Thursday that 20-year-old Adam Salim Alsahli may not have acted alone and that his abettor may be still at large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But in a statement Tuesday, the agency said they no longer believe that\u2019s the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile there was initial concern about a potential second person of interest, intense investigation leads us now to believe there was not,\u201d according to a FBI statement released Tuesday. \u201cAt this time, there is no imminent threat to the public safety of the Corpus Christi community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alsahli was killed by base security forces after attempting to breach the base Thursday morning in what the FBI is calling a terrorism-related incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One sailor was injured after being struck by a round, but her protective vest stopped the bullet and they were released from the hospital later Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
