At least two Marines and one police officer got shot today at two military offices, a naval reserve center and an armed forces recruiting center in Chattanooga, Tennessee. CBS News reports that the suspect has been shot and killed, but as of now there is less certainty over the number of victims and their status. The police officer is in surgery with non-life-threatening injuries.
The suspect drove up to both locations in a Mustang, according to CBS News, and used a high-powered weapon to fire into both facilities. ABC News reported just a few moments ago that the Pentagon sees no connection to international terrorism
at this time, anyway. NBC also confirms that the shooter has been killed.

Presser right now:
In the real world, these attacks are carried out by Jihadists, or young men off their meds and hoped up on Internet rage, or folks with a specific beef against individual victims.
I get it. Okay, thanks. :-)
So all we know now is that the shooter was a CNN reporter with a machine gun, according to the posts on this thread. (Sarcasm)
An interesting read from Travis McGee

Isn’t today the end of Ramadan ???
Is that really shooter’s name? source?
Yes .
Name is Muhammad Youseff Abdulazeez.
Nah, can’t be a coincidence. /s
Shooter, who was originally identified by an eye witness as a “white guy”, is a Kuwaiti named Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez.
According to several Freepers, the attacker’s name was Evan Perez. Some said that he works for the government as a mass murderer.

You would be right if this were 2007 back. This is Obamaland now. Anytjing goes. And there have been specialized units the government has set up in the past for specific tasks, propaganda being one of them.
I didnt think that was correct name either after doing some checking.
> Name is Muhammad Youseff Abdulazeez.
Lemme guess...his pre-prison name was Cederic Smith, right?
> No indication to me it was a full auto weapon from the impacts. Dont know what the targets were for each shot, if there were any, how fast the shooter was firing, range, or shooter skill level.
That was said before hearing witness accounts who seemed to indicate that they heard someone firing off rounds quickly which is very ambiguous at best bu I’d guess that sounds like a semi-automatic.. The photo just looked like some of the automatic weapon spray I’ve seen in the past but without being on the scene and recovering shell casings its anybody’s guess.

Now that I look at it a little more carefully the groupings are more suggestive of a sem-automatic.
