Four Marines were killed when a gunman attacked two military sites in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on Thursday, the U.S. Navy said.
The suspected shooter is also dead, Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke said.
Investigators “have not determined whether it was an act of terrorism or whether it was a criminal act,” Ed Reinhold, FBI special agent in charge, told reporters. “We are looking at every possible avenue, whether it was terrorism — whether it was domestic, international — or whether it was a simple, criminal act.”
U.S. Attorney Bill Killian earlier told reporters that authorities were treating the shooting as an “act of domestic terrorism.”
The shootings unfolded at two sites over 30 minutes, Reinhold said.
The suspected gunman started spraying bullets at the glass doors of a strip mall military recruiting center around 10:45 a.m. ET, witnesses said.
From there, he headed to another location more than seven miles away, an operational support center operated by the U.S. Navy.
That’s where the four victims and the gunman were killed, Reinhold said.
At least three people were injured, officials said, including a police officer and a military service member.
The officer, who was injured when he was shot in the ankle, has been treated at the hospital, Berke said. A military service member was also among the wounded, the Defense Department said.
‘It was very loud and very fast’
“Today was a nightmare for the city of Chattanooga. … We had someone viciously attack, at two different locations, people who proudly serve our country,” Berke said.
Gina Mule, a server at a restaurant, said she saw a man who’d been in a silver convertible Mustang, firing a “high-powered rifle” at the recruiting offices at about 10:50 a.m.
She said she first heard “Pow, pow, pow!” She then went to a window, through which she said she saw the man firing shots.
“I don’t know how many shots he fired, but it was a lot,” she said.
Soldiers that have no protection. Where were their guns? Oh, that’s right, they are not allowed to have weapons. So TSA has been put on high alert. I guess they are allowed to have guns.
The name doesn’t sound Irish does it. Not French or German either. It doesn’t sound Jewish or Catholic or Hindu. There is something about that name…..I just can’t place it.
THE KILLING TODAY occurred at the end of Ramadan – a holy time for the Religion of Peace. That’s some peaceful religion.
Ah, the old “high powered rifle” routine.
And wonder if this guy’s real name isn’t something like “John BoogaBooga Jones” before he turned into a muzzie.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if he was an actual middle eastern muzzie?
They’ll have trouble with “workplace violence” on this one because the guy didn’t work there.
I’m sure newsrooms are spinning like a tilt-a-whirl as we wait for the politically correct outcome.
Bill Clinton did this. He now has the blood of 4 more Marines on his hands. He disarmed the bases. The Clintons and Obamas have brought more chaos to this nation than anyone else. He also allowed the Norks to get nuclear weapons. Ain’t no way she should be considered a presidential candidate, Alynskyite that she is.
Right about now he’s asking the orientation instructor in Hell where his 40 virgins are.
I won’t hold my breath for the DOJ to go after Muzz training camps in TN and other states.
“The name doesn’t sound Irish does it. Not French or German either.”

Give it about 15 years.
It HAS to be labeled workplace violence because terrorism only occurs if you’re a right-wing Oath Keeper or a prepper who possesses more than 500 rounds of ammunition, more than a week’s worth of food, believes in the God of Abraham, and believes in the former United States Constitution.
Has Brian Ross labeled him a “Tea Bagger” yet? Maybe he is still frantically scouring the memberships?
Good luck with this one Brian!
Workplace violence? Domestic Terrorism? No, Islamic Terrorism!
From AP:
“4 p.m.
A U.S. official says the gunman in the shootings in Tennessee has been identified as 24-year-old Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez.
He was believed to have been born in Kuwait, and it was unclear whether he was a U.S. or Kuwaiti citizen. The official was speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing, sensitive investigation. It was not immediately clear whether the gunman’s first name was spelled Muhammad or Mohammad.”
It goes further back than Clinton; I was active duty Navy from 72-93 and we were never permitted to carry personal weapons on base, and only rarely carried government weapons while on watch.
But no matter what this is declared to be, “domestic terrorism,” “workplace violence,” etc. you can bet the progs are going to be screaming for more gun control.
That piss ant Odumbo will have some “well-crafted” explanation for this which surely won’t include the words “Islamic terrorism”.
We have hundreds of elected officials in Washington. When will any of them step up to the plate and DO something about this?
Think about what was going on in Kuwait twenty-four years ago. Ungrateful sonsabitches, ain’t they?
Oh, yes. Keep us up to date on this crucial detail.
Praying for the family and friends of dead heroes. There will be no justice in the worthless Obama administration for these people.
Several news outlets are reporting an ISIS connection. No surprise there.
I detest and despise Pisslam, its followers and its dhimmi leftist brain dead apologists. May they all rot in Hell with the pedophile rapist Mohammed.
Isn’t it time we sent every one of these Pisslamic terrorists to internment camps? Death Valley would be a good venue.
They way things are going in Britain it could very well be an English name.
WPV won’t fly on this one. ISIS tweeted it before it happened.

Maybe the good muzzie went to a strip club and got drunk in preparation to meet his 72 virgins?
BREAKING NEWS!!!! Obama has appointed Hillary to head department on protecting US soldiers in homeland from ISIS attacks since her record in Lybia was spotless.
I don’t understand why a military base does not have weapons. Hell…..I have weapons. Pretty stupid.
Won’t surprise me if they say
“Lone Wolf”
was his middle name….
FBI on the case in six hours? Terrorist! No way the FBI would act so swiftly if a random shoot.
Action on acts of terrorism? About time y’all government type woke up.
Since Force protection was out sourced. I’ve wondered if I could get my old job back? You must be proactive, no reactive to be effective.
That tweet I posted above is still up and they’ve added one promising gifts of IED’s.
I saw that tweet earlier today, but the time stamp was after 12 noon. Time zone difference? Are we sure that was tweeted before the shooting?

Someone needs to post that video about the mole, like they did for Abortion Barbie.
The only consolation is this muslim bastard is dead. But 4 Marines died for nothing just because they were in the wrong place at the right time. This pisses me off beyond belief. Once again political correctness has reared its ugly head and we have 4 more dead American warriors. It’s time for us to declare all out war on these murdering jihadi bastards, no quarter, no mercy, kill them all before they kill more of us. And fuck Obama and Muhammad both! WE ARE AT WAR WITH ISLAM YOU FUCKING PINHEADS, WHAT’S SO HARD ABOUT THAT TO UNDERSTAND. How many more Americans will die before we realize islam ain’t a religion of peace? And when was the last time a Christian killed an unbeliever in the name of Christ, just because he doesn’t believe in Jesus. We have grace and mercy on our side something which doesn’t exist in islam and never will.
Maybe. I read it on Drudge 15 minutes ago and it gone now. Instagram is swearing buy it though.
I made the mistake staying overnight with a friend on Barksdale AFB last night and the base has been on lock down all day. No one comes in and no one gets out because the area was one of the areas marked for targeting in a ISIS communique not long ago. Y’all enjoy your summer afternoon…..
Instagram guys are saying the time stamp reads the time from where it was sent and are defending it as legit. I don’t know shit about twitter so you’ll need to make up your own mind.
Amish!
Those darn Amish and their beard shears.
The Abdulazeez family Facebook pages indicate strong support for Palestine, anti-Israel, anti-American
father from Nablus, Palestine and a city employee at water plant in Chattanooga. That’s a good idea, Tennessee
Forgive me if I was a little harsh in my post in regards to this shooting today. I’m sick of this happening more and more and no one especially our gutless presidunce takes a stand to end it and actually fighting back against these barbarians.
Maybe you’ll get deployed. LOL
I think it’s Appalachin-American.
Well, I am a licensed pilot, but something tells me they wouldn’t let me fly a B52…..
Just walk in there like your the shit and hop in the pilot seat. I’m suddenly getting these visions of Slim Pickens riding a bomb out the bay door. Forget I said anything. LOL
Im sure Odumbass will say the Marines provoked him by wearing the U.S. Flag on their uniforms, and having American names.
4 waves of carpet bombings for every American lost to a worthless piece of shit muslim. Make it retroactive to Gulf War 1.
How much more will it take until we Americans get our mad on?
I have to stop there because I won’t write cuss words, even though it would be about pansy lib democrats and self fornicating RINO’s.
“We are looking at every possible avenue, whether it was terrorism — whether it was domestic, international — or whether it was a simple, criminal act.” gee, that’s a tough call…
