So are the parents of five servicemen:
2015 Chattanooga shootings
On July 16, 2015, Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez opened fire on two military installations in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He first committed a drive-by shooting at a recruiting center, then traveled to a U.S. Navy Reserve center and continued firing, where he was killed by police in a gunfight. Four Marines died on the spot. A Navy Sailor, a Marine recruiter, and a police officer were wounded; the sailor died from his injuries two days later.
Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez[a] (September 5, 1990 – July 16, 2015), a resident of Hixson, Tennessee, was identified as the gunman.
Personal life
Abdulazeez, a naturalized American citizen, was also a Jordanian citizen born in Kuwait. However, according to Jordanian sources, he was a Palestinian with Jordanian citizenship; his parents were self-described as “Palestinian”. He migrated to the U.S. with his family in 1996 and received citizenship as a minor in 2003 under the Child Citizenship Act of 2000 when his parents became naturalized citizens themselves. During the Second Intifada, Abdulazeez, then fifteen, traveled with his father to Jamma’in, the village in Samaria where the father was born, with the goal of acquiring a Palestinian ID.
According to The Washington Post, both of Abdulazeez’s parents were self-described in their divorce proceedings “as natives of ‘the State of Palestine’”, and they “maintained a strict, conservative Muslim lifestyle.” The father had been placed on a watch-list and investigated some years ago “on suspicion of donating money to an organization suspected of being a terrorist front.”
The want to be Caliph hates white people like his mother and her parents.
