CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., July 16 (Reuters) - Five people were killed on Thursday including a suspected gunman who opened fire at two military-related facilities in Chattanooga, Tennessee in an attack local officials described as brazen, brutal and an act of domestic terrorism.
CBS News quoted two law enforcement officials as saying the suspect was Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez. No motive has yet been given. The suspected shooter, who has not been officially identified, is believed to have lived in the area and acted alone, local police said.
The other four killed were Marines at a Naval Reserve Center, a military official said in Washington, DC.
"We are treating this as an act of domestic terrorism," said Bill Killian, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee, adding that no official determination of the nature of the crime had yet been made.
The suspect, seen driving in an open-top Mustang, is believed to have first gone to a joint military recruiting center in a strip mall, and peppered the facility with gunfire. No one was injured in the attack.

The gunman then drove off to a Naval Reserve Center about 6 miles (10 km) away, fatally shooting the four Marines before being fatally shot himself in a firefight with police.
Three others were wounded in the attacks, including a police officer and a Marine. The shootings began at about 10:45 a.m. local time and ended about 30 minutes later.
"There were numerous Chattanooga and Hamilton County officers who responded. They arrived on the scene extremely quickly. They actively and enthusiastically engaged this brazen criminal, and one of those officers was injured by gunfire from this criminal," Chattanooga Police Chief Fred Fletcher told a news conference.
A White House spokesman said President Barack Obama had been told about the shooting.

A White House spokesman said President Barack Obama had been told about the shooting.
After 911, there should've been a freeze on immigration while the US sorted it out. Send home anyone in the US without valid permission, acclimate the ones who are left. Then, sometime down the road, begin talking about legal immigration again.
The US is never going to heal unless there's a population that wants to be here and shares our goals.
Sure was..so once again Donald Trump was right..what is he, two for two right now
Of course things like this make Obama and the liberal media uncomfortable. For them, couldn’t the shooter have been a Christian white guy who listens to Rush and with a confederate flag attached to his hip? Oh, he’s muslim? Oh, did you hear Indians don’t like the Redskins name and Bruce is now woman and got an award for it.
He may have been the lone shooter, but if ISIS sends out a tweet at exactly the same time this guy is shooting, calling us ‘dogs’ and essentially telling us to “Take that!”, he did not act alone and this is organized terrorism.
Turned on CNN and that Rob Fuentes guy said, he actually said this “Hmm, sounds like a Muslim name but doesn’t mean he was Muslim” LOL yeah Southerners love naming their kids Mohammed, its right about Cody and Matthew
I hate it when they lump killer in with victims. Should be something like "Four murdered, gunman killed".
But I thought that banning the Confederate flag and taking “The Dukes of Hazzard” off TV Land and CMT were going to stop this sort of thing, (sarc, big time).

If we have to ban the Confederate Battle Flag because it may have motivated a crackpot to shoot up a church in South Carolina, do we also have to ban the Koran because it may have motivated an ISIS supporter to shoot up a Marine Recruiting Station in Tennessee?
One of these days, someone who is not on dr prescribed drugs, who has enough of Muslims not fixing their own and go crazy.
Obamamamamamamamammamam (sic) will blame it on talk radio.
Now we can go on to "gun control", back to Caitlyn, or maybe talk about what a clown Trump is...
No, no, just workplace violence.
Round them all up. Give them one chance to convert. Else drop them on the shores of Araby
Yes, it is quite the coincidence, isn't it? Been happening a lot lately....
This is only the beginning.
Americans are wise to enjoy one day at a time and be thankful for it.
We slept too long.
We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America. Barack Obama
Well, he did it.
Shooter was arrested a few months ago for DUI!
Obviously not a muslim, since they don’t drink!

He’ll get a phone call about that. Tomorrow he’ll walk that back.
