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.

You are correct.
The key is the word “domestic.” They won’t make the link to ISIS.
But but but wasn’t the murder white and Christian or Jewish?
America wasn’t always like this! Who let them in? Democrats that’s who! Why? Multiculturalism, heard of it? It’s their God and they are happy to sacrifice you to it.
How F'n dumb are we. ISIS ISIS ISIS. Damn stupid not to understand will all the violence in the name of radical Muslims that it is that hard to figure out. What the hell was 9/11? Are we waiting for another or how about boots on the ground in Iraq killing their ars.
The a$$wholes can’t find a motive. Meaning: the POS murdered the soldiers because he’s a towelhead and hates Americans, but the media and the corrupt administration know their job is to protect subhuman savages who kill normal people.
More innocents sacrificed on the altar of political correctness.
America is not waking. America did not wake after 9/11. America did not wake after Ft. Hood. America does not care. Obama is a freakin POS muslim and he will never try to stop muslims from killing Americans and Americans are too freakin scared to do to muslims what ISIS does to Christians and Americans. We have lost the war. No one has any intention of fighting back.

The President was heard to comment that he thought, “The police acted stupidly.”
we were awake after 9/11. but political correctness quickly asserted itself and we were not allowed to blame it on islam. then Bush went off to war in Afghanistan and Iraq and again, refused to name islam the problem. then we got suckered into wasting billions of $$$ trying our hand at nation building in a part of the world where only savages live. meanwhile, the forces of cultural marxism were busy confusing and manipulating the people into believing that this was all about neocons and Bush and the CIA framing the arabs for the attacks.
but some of us know better. just not enough of us.
If Americans don’t understand by now (including our idiot politicians), they never will. It will only get worse as America refuses to fight back. I am glad I am old.
Back in 1995 in Springfield, Tennessee, a boy was murdered by two blacks because he had a CBF on his truck. If it is the other way around it is conveniently forgotten.
