Four military members were killed this morning and at least one police officer injured, when a gunman opened fire on military recruitment offices and a U.S. Naval Reserve Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Witnesses said they saw a single man fire a high-powered rifle at a military office in a strip mall from a convertible silver Mustang, before speeding away, around 10:50am.

Any ID?

I’d be intereseted, too.

Either a Muslim or a liberal... or both.

But, it could be a crazy who has latched onto all of the negative press given the military... by liberals and muslims.

In years long past, the military was not only commonly esteemed, but portrayed that way in the media. Psycho-murderers usually latched onto something else.

The US Attorney said it’s being investigated as an act of domestic terrorism. He then backtracked.

They are saying a “white guy” in a Mustang convertible.

The shooter is dead.

They are saying shooter was a local.

Katherine Herridge is saying now on Fox News that sources are telling her that considering this happened at the end of Ramadan could mean something..and that they already know who the shooter is and that he is NOT military and he was never in the military so there goes the “Workplace violence” Theory..this is ISIS terrorism, someone working on behalf of ISIS

Yes, any semi automatic is a high powered assault rifle to the media. They have no clue about weapons.

Military disarmed, now the cops need to be disarmed I guess. Also seems like someone needs a refresher on WTF is a high-powered rifle. Sheesh. A .22 can kill you just as dead as a .308. Maybe not as easily but................

Reporting suspect had no previous connection with the military.

How long before (IF?) we find out the connection to the religion of pieces?

Yeah kinda hard to target people accurately behind tinted glass walls in full sunlight. Let me guess, we conservatives now attack churches and military recruiting offices. Yeah. And Iran does not want nukes.

I believe there’s huge one in New York state that the locals won’t touch. Armed ‘immigrants’ at the gates. Meh.

Any rifle above .22 is “high powered” to the media.

----

With all respect, I still think you give them too much credit. I have observed autoloading 22s described as assault rifles. If it offends the media, its an assault rifle.

"..someone working on behalf of ISIS"

Or a gubmint that wants to take your guns. The gubmint can recruit people through the Internet too, ya know.

Today I don’t trust them any farther than I can spit.

Now that you said that ... what is to stop a very evil and corrupt government (like the one we have now) from sending in an "asset" to do the shooting and then use a different and well chosen "fall guy" who is conveniently killed or commits suicide to take the blame.

This could be used as a distraction from the Iran debacle and/or bring focus on gun control and/or several other nefarious reasons.

20 years ago this would be tin foil hat stuff ... but now ... I'm beginning to wonder
