The U.S. Navy says that the sailor who was shot earlier this week at the Navy Operations Support Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee, has died.

The death was announced Saturday, two days after a shooting in Chattanooga killed four Marines and injured three others, including the sailor.

But he was earlier identified as Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Randall Smith, a reservist serving on active duty in Chattanooga.

Smith’s grandmother also confirmed his death to NewsChannel 9.

Authorities say Kuwait-born Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez, 24, of Hixson, Tennessee, unleashed a barrage of fire at a recruiting center in Chattanooga, then drove several miles away to a Navy and Marine reserve center, where he shot and killed the Marines, and wounded the sailor. Abdulazeez was shot to death by police.

  1. So confirmation of death declared by grandma is accepted as official press release info now? Got it! Tell me more, granny. Tell me more!

  2. When are people going to realize that 98% of all major news “stories” are HOAXES? I see the MSM network news every night while using a cross trainer cardio machine at the gym. Almost every single story is FAKE and they’re all presented in the same manner.
