A Kuwait-born man who shot and killed five service members in Tennessee suffered from depression since his early teen years and also fought drug and alcohol abuse, spending time in Jordan last year to help him clean himself up, a family spokesman said Sunday.
The representative, who spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid unwanted publicity, said relatives of 24-year-old Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez believe those personal struggles are at the heart of last week's killings at a pair of military sites in Chattanooga.
"They do not know of anything else to explain it," said the representative, who has been involved with the family since the shootings.
The claim fits a pattern of behavior by Abdulazeez that includes a drunken driving arrest earlier this year and the loss of a job over a failed drug test.
Abdulazeez had spent several months in Jordan last year under a mutual agreement with his parents to help him get away from drugs, alcohol and a group of friends who relatives considered a bad influence, the spokesman said
Counterterrorism investigators continue to interview Abdulazeez's acquaintances and delve into his visit to Jordan, looking for clues to whom or what might have influenced him and set off the bloodshed.

Islam does that to people. Drives them to hate and then murder.
The terrorists always have an excuse.
They do nothing wrong ever, and Israel and the U. S. do nothing right ever.
This is horse “stuff” and we all know it.
“They do not know of anything else to explain it”
It’s the ISLAM stupid.
no sorry, no regrets , no message to the victims families, just excuses for their useless terrorist son. Typical muslim bull crap. Kick them out of this country. now.
Where’s the, “Aw, gee. Not this sh*t again!” Pic?
He was a good boy and was just turning his life around
after finding Allah having been corrupted by western
civilization...
That’s right, and our media will fall for this story hook line and sinker.
Radicalized in Jordan no doubt.
Islam/liberalism is a mental disorder.
“They do not know of anything else to explain it,” said the representative, who has been involved with the family since the shootings.
Racking their brains.
I see, it had nothing to due with Islam. What a relief.
This is about the family saving face and changing the narrative.
Islam/liberalism is a mental disorder.
I read that Muslim inbreeding is causing a lot of problems, including mental disorders, anger and hypertension, to name a few. Makes sense.
They sent him to Jordan to get him “straightened out”....
yeah, sure thing hoss..
Funny how the ‘rebel’ black church shooter hasn’t been accorded any excuses. I guess confederate flags create hate whereas mosques just create mental illness.
Islam Permits Lying to Deceive Unbelievers and Bring World Domination.
A lie in the defense of Islam is approved even applauded. Islam permits lying. It is called Al-taqiyya.
Mohammed gave permission for a follower to lie in order to kill a Jewish poet .
The “rebel” black church shooter doesn’t fit the media narrative.
Unless they want to use it to push gun control.
Who, in the Obama DOJ, is advising this family?
He was so depressed, he carried out a planned terrorist attack on specific military targets.
