CHATTANOOGA, TN Four United States Marines were killed when an apparent lone wolf gun attacked two military sites in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on Thursday. According to the FBI, the gun also murdered 24-year old peace-loving resident and sometime neighborhood dog walker Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez.
Government sources confirmed that the gun was not on any watch list, and does not appear to have been aided. Investigators “have not determined whether it was an act of terrorism or whether it was a criminal act,” Edward Reinfold, FBI special agent in charge, told reporters. “We are looking at every possible avenue, but all appearances indicate that a lone wolf gun overpowered Mo, and under threat of death forced him to assist in these deadly acts.”
According to Reinfold, the shootings unfolded at two sites over 30 minutes. Eye witnesses reported that the suspected gun used Mo's hand, and possibly his arm, to spray bullets at a strip mall military recruiting center around 10:45 am ET. From there, the gun apparently took Mo to another location more than seven miles away, a U.S. Navy operational support center, where it again used him to kill four victims and himself.
As Commander-in-Chief, President Obama was quick to respond to the tragedy, vowing that such gun violence would not be tolerated.
“Let me be clear,” began the President, “while our nation grieves over the loss of Mo and these honored Marines, rest assured that we are taking steps to ensure that such a tragedy can never happen again. I have already directed [Attorney General] Loretta [Lynch] to compile a list of all guns known to be within the territory of the United States, and place them under surveillance.”
In addition, the President promised reparations. “We, now, make a solemn commitment that the families of these brave servicemen will be cared for, and also that long-overdue concessions will be made to any who share Mo's passions.” Concluded the President, “[l]et us never forget that Mo's life matters. God bless America.”
Yes, but just like those SUV’s that suddenly control themselves run over people you can't tell until it happens..
The Gun was offended by the Gun Free Zone.
Freedom,it’s what Guns Crave !
The people were stupid, but well-meaning and were willing to listen to someone perceived as more intelligent.
That ain't gonna happen here.
Over half an hour from first shots to shooter down. Not real great performance by the first paid responders.
We'll see what the Chinese have to say about it. The Office of Personnel Management may have turned up something on him before they granted him his Top Secret-Crypto security clearance.
It was smart enough to know that it wasn't a “Bullet-Free zone” and forced the terrorist.. innocent Muslim to shoot though the door..
All guns are in league with ISIS, and, must be confiscated.
Great parody!
You forgot the’ /s’ tag.
I am afraid you may be correct in this regard.
For the most part there was little evil present in the society portrayed in that movie.
Not so with the bunch in charge here.
