AUtiger98 24 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Prays to these families and the military community. Link The Chattanooga Times Free Press is reporting 4 military members were killed. Most accounts says they were Marines. One police officer in stable condition at the hospital. Live Coverage Most accounts say the shooter never went in the building and shot from his car.

cole256 15,867 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Man this is crazy, if I hadn't just got this job there is no doubt I'd been at my college tutoring when this happened. It's literally right next to where this happened, or I could have been out walking the trail and right behind the base. This stuff is scary....

AUtiger98 24 Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 I found a blog reporting that ISIS posted a warning earlier today with #Chattanooga in the tweet. Press conference will begin soon. Hopefully they will clear up rumors like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole256 15,867 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 From my friends on Facebook they said the guy who did the shooting was a white guy in a drop top silver camaro. My old statistics teacher was locked down. They had the colleges and hospital and most of amnicola highway locked down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUtiger98 24 Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 US Attorney called it an act of "Domestic Terrorism". One shooter, targeted two locations. Then the FBI says we're not ruling out a criminal act, international terrorism, or any thing else. US Attorney just backtracked on his "Domestic Terrorism" statement.

AURaptor 1,113 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Chaotic, to be sue. 2 sites, 4 dead , and a dirtbag at room temp. Sounds like a disgruntled ex or wanna be soldier, but we'll see. It's gone from being called a criminal case to an act of domestic terror. Damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole256 15,867 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Yes one place a naval base literally right next to a college the other place is right next to an Italian restaurant.

Even though the guy was naturalized, it doesn't sound very domestic to me. By the way, the US Attorney later walked back the statement of domestic terrorism, but the media will continue to report it that way until proven other wise.

AUtiger98 24 Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez was 24 years old and the Marines freed his home country of Kuwait the year he was born. Its also sad that the Marines were unarmed and unable to defend themselves. Yet another attack in a gun free zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mims44 1,544 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Muzzy? I doubt he was confused Very saddened this happened. And I have to wonder how this might change our policies/actions if it is proven that he has ISIS ties, or attacked on ISIS orders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURaptor 1,113 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Muzzy = slang for Muslim. Confused ? I guess not. He wanted to kill infidels, and he did. Perhaps I should have said " Muzzie " My bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShocksMyBrain 8,406 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Anyway, we just moved from Chatt a little over a year ago.

And they should probably stop murdering innocents in the name of Allah, but guess that's not gonna happen either. Oh, and it's not ' racist ', what so ever. It's based in religion. "Muslim" is an Arabic word meaning "one who submits (to God)".[4] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOJ had better send a team of lawyers to investigate, just to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
