Active Shooter in TN: US Naval and Army centers, officer down

[sellersm]

Lord, please comfort all the families, heal the wounded and heal our land...

Press conference says investigation has been turned over to the FBI to coordinate with local and state agencies, BATFE, and Homeland Security involved. FBI won't release any information until investigation progresses. Whether an act of domestic terrorism or a criminal act is unknown at present, but being treated as terrorism. No motivation established. FBI won't say how or by whom the perp was shot, or ID of shooter, except probably from the Chattanooga area. Only one shooter acting alone. No type of gun used by shooter was identified. "2 or 3" wounded now being treated at hospital (whether those police or others not stated). Will not identify victims yet. News agencies reporting 4 Marines killed, but not addressed in the news conference.

Yeah, media and authorities are quick to call this domestic terrorism (which we all know is associated with so-called right wing extremists)...
But the shooter is being reported as Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez.

Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke said five people died in all, including the gunman. Two law enforcement sources told CBS News that the shooting suspect was identified as Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez.

U.S. Attorney Bill Killian said officials were treating the attacks as an "act of domestic terrorism," though FBI Special Agent in Charge Ed Reinhold said authorities were still investigating a motive.

Oh gee, I wonder what his motive was....

The word I got, when this first happened, via a source on the ground there (college student, child of my source) was that the shooter appeared to be a mooslim. FWIW... And for the record, I expect more to come, stay alert.

I wonder if this Muhammad guy was hailing from "One of the most peaceful religions on the planet."

Personally, I think if you are active duty military, you should be allowed concealed carry under the law. I blame our Concealed Muslim CINC.

Supposedly, it has something to do with armed military personnel on the streets that are not performing "military police duties". You know, pesky Constitution .

So they follow it when they want to, and ignore it when it fits their agenda. Got it.

Prayers for all involved...

Duty uniform for E6 and up should include M9 with two mags. Real simple.

Affirmative.

And I honestly think we are going to see more and more of this kind of thing... If this really is a domestic terrorism linked to any specific group i mean.

We Americans have enjoyed being removed from the real bad people of the world for a very long time. Unfortunately a rise in things such as this will lead to more and more of our rights being stripped away.

You mean Jade Helm is just a farce?
