Police are investigating a cyberattack on the city of Pensacola, Fla., that took place Saturday, and whether it is related to the killing of three individuals at the Naval base there on Friday.

Police officials said they became aware of the attack at about 1:30 p.m. on Saturday afternoon, the day after a Saudi Arabian Air Force member killed three and left eight wounded, but were not prepared to dismiss any connections, the Associated Press reported. Kaycee Lagarde, the city’s spokeswoman, could not reveal how the city became aware of the attack.

“I can confirm the city of Pensacola has experienced a cyberattack and we’ve disconnected much of our city’s network until the issue can be resolved,” Lagarde said. “As a precaution we have reported the incident to the federal government.”
