Marines Killed After Shootings At Two Chattanooga Naval Reserve Facilities

Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).

A gunman opened fire on two military recruitment centers in Chattanooga, Tennessee on Thursday, leaving soldiers dead and wounded.

Officials in the Chattanooga area say the gunman has been shot and killed and that they believe he is the only one involved in the attacks.

Fox News reported that four Marines were killed at one of the two centers.  FBI officials confirmed others were injured and are being treated at local hospitals but there was no information on their condition.

The U.S. Prosecutor for the region said at a press conference the investigation is being conducted “as a case of domestic terrorism.”  He added there is a joint federal, state and local investigation which is why much of the information about the shooting is being withheld from the media and public.

The FBI, ATF and the Department of Homeland Security were on the scene within hours and leading the investigation.

Ed Reinhold, special agent in charge of the FBI at the same news conference praised the local police department for the response and for “neutralizing the threat to the community.”

The FBI confirmed the suspect carried “multiple weapons” but would not describe the weapons.  They believe that the gunman was residing in the area before the attack.  Reinhold also said that while it’s being investigated as domestic terrorism, it’s possible the attack was not related to terrorism and just an act of violence.
