CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — A gunman opened fire on a Navy and Marine reserve center in Chattanooga, Tenn., on Thursday, leaving four Marines dead, and wounding several others, including a Marine recruiter and a police officer, officials said. The gunman was also killed.
“Somebody brutally and brazenly attacked members of our armed services,” the police chief, Fred Fletcher, said during a news conference.
The shooting reportedly began at about 10:45 a.m. at a recruiting center on Lee Highway and ended about 30 minutes later at the reserve center on Amnicola Highway. Armed with numerous weapons, the gunman fired a barrage into the reserve center, officials said, and photographs showed the windows of the site riddled with bullet holes.
United States Attorney Bill Killian said that the Federal Bureau of Investigation would take the lead on the case, which he initially called an “act of domestic terrorism” before backing away, saying that the investigation would determine how the crime should be labeled.
Later, a law enforcement official identified the gunman as Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez. Edward Reinhold, the F.B.I. special agent in charge in Knoxville, said at the news conference that officials believed that the gunman was “probably from this area, or at least is residing in this area prior to the event.”
Mr. Reinhold said hundreds of agents would be involved in the investigation by the end of the day, though he cautioned that “we have no indication that it’s tied to anything at this point.”
Federal officials said that Mr. Abdulazeez had not been under investigation by the F.B.I. but that analysts and agents were combing files for any possible evidence that he had ties to a foreign terrorist group.
All of the deaths occurred at the second shooting scene, which sits between Amnicola Highway and a pathway that runs through Tennessee RiverPark on the Tennessee River northeast of downtown. Many of the businesses nearby are light industry.
Marilyn Hutcheson, who works at Binswanger Glass, just across the street from the second shooting, told The Associated Press that she heard a barrage of gunfire around 11 a.m.
“I couldn’t even begin to tell you how many,” she told The A.P. “It was rapid fire, like pow pow pow pow pow, so quickly. The next thing I knew, there were police cars coming from every direction.”
She ran inside, where she remained locked down with other employees and a customer. The gunfire continued with occasional bursts for 20 minutes, she estimated.
“It is incomprehensible to see what happened and the way that individuals who proudly serve our country were treated,” the mayor of Chattanooga, Andy Berke, said. “Two different locations this individual went to, and as a city, we will respond to this with every available resource that we have.”
In a statement, the White House said, “The president has been briefed by his national security staff on the Chattanooga shooting, and will continue to get updates as warranted.”
The episode unnerved one of Tennessee’s largest cities. The Chattanooga State Community College posted an alert on its website that urged people on its main campus to remain inside and to close doors. Lee University, which is near Chattanooga, temporarily ordered a lockdown, the university said.
Bradley Square Mall, in the nearby suburb of Cleveland, also said it had initiated a lockdown, but the mall’s management said that local media reports of gunfire there were inaccurate. “There have been no shots fired at Bradley Square Mall,” a post on the mall’s Facebook page said. It called the lockdown “a safety precaution.”

Let me guess, AL-CIA-DUH / FBI-SIS?
Another day, another false flag event aimed at relieving white people and vets of their guns. Why can’t people see through all this crap? Are the masses really as stupid as they seem to be in Mark Dice videos?

So we’ve been told.

Lost me there, flek.
Oh, look, over here! 4 servicemen shot dead! Nevermind all the other traitorous stuff we’re up to, see those 4 dead bodies! (Oh, that’s right, we didn’t show them because they don’t exist.)
Like 14 dead people in a church that was ‘shot up’ on Wed., and the church was open for Sunday services?
Get ready patriots. I have a feeling the shi. is only beginning. Be safe and be vigilant. The enemy has been within the gates for a long time. They are making their moves.
My Fellow Americans,
Ahhhhhhh,….
Another day,.. another False-Flag here in commie land.
This is such a cheesy production,.. I’m going to rate this on a scale of 1 to 10 (ten being a surperb black-op…),….. a (… drum roll please!,…. brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrruuupp!!!,.. Ta- Da!!!! Horns blaring!!!)
I will rate this chessy little production a 3 1/2,.. and only because it starred some US Marines as the,… “victims” this time around.
“Announcer: Thank huuu,.. (people appaulding!!),.. thank you!,… thank huus so much!,…. thank huuu…..”
JD – US Marines – Wow,.. these Enemy-Force-In-Occupation (incorrectly called the US Fed Gov’t) productions have gotten just like Saturday Night Live skits!,.. they are not even worth watching anymore…..
.
And right on the heels of the ‘iran deal’ which bibi said was a tragic mistake…and now this.
Arrest and expel all dual israeli citizens and bomb to dust, all israeli military
installations. Let the palestinians have at the death cult from there.

“According to SITE, his mother is from Kuwait and his father from Palestine.”
Of course a palestinian, of course.
Hit joe six pack with a double whammy…a muslim and a palestinian…two for the price of one.
I bet the mossad agent involved isn’t dead but probably celebrating and sipping a manischewitz maccabee blood cocktail on the beach outside tel-aviv

SITE/Rita Katz: if you hear SITE or Pam Geller’s names crop up, it’s a Muslim-patsy false flag instead of a white guy/rightwinger/white supremacist false flag.
I have to “refine” my bullet point items of false flag shooting: it takes a slightly different track if it’s a white guy vs. a muslim.
If it’s a white guy, you’ll hear “southern poverty law center”…and nazi/white supremacist/skinhead/confederate-nazi flag/manifesto.
If it’s a muslim, you’ll hear “site/rita katz”…and Koran/ISIS/Ala Akbar.
I’m not sure if they use the “manifesto” schtick if it’s a Muslim patsy.
By “patsy”, I mean the person could be in on it, could not be in on it, could exist, could not exist. But it’s blamed on them and the “official story” isn’t true.
White & Muslim both, though, look for the Hero story and FBI story – the FBI either had patsy under surveillance and “fumbled the ball”, patsy had “prior contact” with FBI, or the patsy was an FBI informant.
I’m refining “THE FORMULA”, it’s a living document.
In either case – white or muslim – there won’t be any video of the event. In either case, somehow jews will come up, as in the patsy was an anti-semite, they will mention “jews” in their (fake) manifesto, or it is implied that muslims hate jews.
The Zionist media circus, including call-in radio talk shows and “the radio news briefs”, will now ensue 24×7 FEAR and lame-brain talk about everything except you’re not allowed to say you think this was a false flag. Everything else is permittable, because everything BESIDE talk about it being a false flag, ASSUMES the “official story” is true.
Stay frosty! These pr#@ks won’t let up. They’re already in it up to their eyeballs….
