Authorities in Chattanooga said Thursday that the 'active shooter' situation is over after gunfire at a Naval Reserve Center and a nearby recruiting facility, which prompted a heavy police response and local colleges a hospital to be placed on lockdown.
The U.S. Navy said in a tweet that there was a shooting at a Navy recruiting building on Amnicola Highway in Chattanooga. A police officer was reportedly injured.
Law enforcement officials told recruiters at a facility 7 miles away on Old Lee Highway that they were also attacked by a shooter in a car. The shooter stopped in front of the recruiting facility, shot at the building and drove off, said Brian Lepley, a spokesman with the U.S. Army Recruiting Command in Fort Knox, Kentucky.
Lepley said the recruiting center on Old Lee Highway has recruiting services for all four branches of the military. The Army recruiters told Lepley they have evacuated and are safe. He has no information about recruiters for the other branches.

Not seeing a name or description of the shooter yet makes me wonder if it's being withheld on purpose because...

Shooter has assumed room temperature according to the USA Today Alert I just got.
Officials are investigating this as "domestic terrorism"

domestic terrorism, not workplace violence?

You would be right, although they did just now release the name. And that name is...

Domestic terrorism doesn't mean that it was not an Islamic jihadist attack.

I'll just post what I did on facebook:
This is no better than 9/11 in my opinion. The scale is just a lot smaller. This is a DIRECT attack on us as a people, and our way of life. **** whatever justification they conjure in their heads. It is folly. This is NOT workplace violence. This is TERRORISM! It must be dealt with, but it won't be. We have a president who pulls out of a country that was/is rampant with terrorism. Thus creating an even more horrible environment, and DIRECTLY creating ISIS.
HE must directly take responsibility for this, but he won't.
Also, if this a-hole turns out to be of Iranian dissent, how is Obammy going to defend his little deal anymore?

Muslim teens seek acceptance, understanding (Abdulazeez's Sister from 2010)
Saba Munir wants others to know that she is a typical teenager.
"I hang out with my friends, go to the movies, things like that," said the 17-year-old senior from Girls Preparatory School. "We're not any different than any other teenager."
Munir said that she and some of her friends, who are Muslim, wish stereotyping would end.
She's among several Muslin teens voicing concerns over anti-Muslim sentiments they believe are rising as controversies surrounding Islam capture national attention.

Sounds like they are trying to say they are an oppressed group, and therefore are victims, even if they go around killing noble Marines.
The MSM will pick up this theme, soon enough, and the USMC flag will be outlawed and torn down within the next few weeks.

........Smith said that Abdulazeez was very religious, and that he would argue "back and forth" with the boys' high school wrestling coach during fasting rituals.
"His whole family was really religious," Smith said. "His family, they all wore the drapes and stuff, all the women in his family wore the little hoods."

I almost said something I might regret, so I thought the better of it.
It's just amazing how owebuma turns non terrorist acts into terrorism if he can even weakly link it to conservatives.
And it's even more amazing the number of terrorist attack that have happened under owebuma's watch that he has just explained away.
Our country and the whole world are substantially less safe from owebuma occupying the White house.

A random shooting by one Muslim terrorist is a lone act and does not implicate Muslims at large - yet a random shooting by a lunatic white guy in SC implicates all whites, especially those in the south - to the point where the Confederate flag and monuments to Confederate leaders must be banned or destroyed.
Will we hear cries from the left to ban the Islamic flag? :whistling:

54. Now we will have more calls
for an armed public who will over react to these type of incidents.......
"Oh officer, it didn't sound like a sneeze to me sure sounded like Allahu Akbar and he looked like one of them arab types you know... and I have permission for concealed carry, and so I stood my ground, probably would have joined up with Isis in the future anyway, so I did my civic duty.....

Because I still believe in fairness. I guess I'm just old school that way. And it's not fair that the people who by their actions and their stupid ideas cause things like this to happen and somehow seem to skate through life without having to pay even the slightest consequence for what they have wrought onthe rest of us.

The Sailor who was shot has died from his wounds.
Rick Scott and Bobby Jindal have ordered their respective states National Guard recruiters to relocate to the nearest Armory for safety.
Wonder how quickly the Administration will move to block further moves like this?

Add the Oklahoma Governor to the list and Greg Abbott has authorized TX National Guard soldiers and airmen to carry their weapons on any State installation...that means any NG post like Camp Mabry or Camp Bullis not places like Ft. Hood etc

Finally ... a moment of sanity ...
Ind., Fla., Texas move to protect Guard recruitment offices
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/07/18/ind-fla-texas-move-protect-guard-recruitment-offices/30353239/
The governors of Indiana, Florida, and Texas issued orders Saturday aimed at protecting National Guard recruitment centers in the wake of fatal shootings at a military facility in Chattanooga, Tenn.
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence authorized the arming of soldiers at Indiana National Guard facilities and recruiting sites statewide. Gov. Rick Scott of Florida ordered National Guard recruiters to work from an armory. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott authorized the Texas National Guard to arm its members at all of its military bases across the state.
Similar measures have been taken in Oklahoma.
Four Marines and a Navy petty officer were killed in a shooting rampage Thursday at a U.S. Navy Reserve Center in Chattanooga. The gunman, identified by the FBI as Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez, a 24-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen from Kuwait, died in a shootout with police. Abdulazeez had earlier shot up an armed forces recruitment center in the city.
"As commander-in-chief of the Indiana National Guard, I will not permit our citizen-soldiers to remain unable to defend themselves and our citizens at facilities in our state," Pence said in a news release. "Hoosiers may be assured that those who have stepped forward to defend our state and nation will have the ability to defend themselves."
In Texas, Abbott said he was taking the action "with a heavy heart" after the shootings in Tennessee.
"Arming the National Guard at these bases will not only serve as a deterrent to anyone wishing to do harm to our service men and women, but will enable them to protect those living and working on the base," Abbott said in issuing the order.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott ordered National Guard recruiters at six storefront locations to relocate to their nearest armory.

Wow.. I have mad respect for the guard now. They at least can see that there is a problem, and how to handle it. Meanwhile, on the federal side, Ill get back to Bragg and STILL won't be able to defend myself on post and will be forced to go to 'shelter in place' sites if I'm on Pope AAF. Good God this administration sucks.

Re the moving/protecting of the NG recruiting centers, isn't it sad to see such sanity coming from individual state capitals rather than DC?! And, if I understand correctly, only from Governors with Rs after their names (so far?)?!!!
I wonder what it would take to induce/force Governor Moonbeam to make what should be a common sense move. My cynical guess is two or more such deadly shootings. My second cynical guess is that CNG personnel are more likely to carry on their own before Governor Moonbeam makes that move.

I like some of the steps being taken to protect our servicemen.
But what I don't like is retreating out of the public domain.
It's almost like being chased out.
how much less effective will recruiting be once you pull back from engaging with civilians where they frequent.
I know there are far less civilian prospective enlistees that frequent armories.

It depends. In some states it's not a retreat it's where the recruiters are normally located. When I signed up in the Alabama National Guard my recruiters office was located in the Armory just outside Ft. Rucker. When I enlisted the first time in Texas back in 1992 the Reserve and NG recruiters were co-located in the same office as the active duty guys I was visiting.

I agree with you on the chased out part. The recruiters are supposed to recruit in civilian clothes now. Which is B.S. They should be allowed to concealed carry if they have the appropriate certification by their state. And STAY IN UNIFORM.
Recruiting in civilians sends the message we are weak to people outside of the US. How is it this knuckle-dragging Infantryman can see this and the wizards in the five-siddd puzzle palace can't?

I agree TX, that is sending the WRONG message to Daesh, who are the ones sponsoring sh!t like this. It is telling them they can be appeased by a simple sacrifice of ONE PERSON. This will encourage others to do this. God, we have idiots running the show now. :banghead:

I mean I can kinda understand no uniforms off post overseas as a Force Protection strategy...we did it for a long time in Panama IIRC. But not within our own freaking borders.
If anything they need to wear that uniform to reassure the general population that there is security within their midst.

Pentagon Tells Recruiters ‘No Guns’ Allowed; Close Blinds

Next, they will tell them to change into their uniforms at work and go to and from in civvies. It used to be only the "silent service" used the phrase, "hide with pride", but now our military is asked to cower behind closed drapes.

I guess the gays had to come out to make room for the Marines. I hate this administration, and will be so glad when they are out of office. I just pray we get people in that will help to rebuild our country.

...and when the Muslims come for the DUmmies, the military will have an excuse not to defend the DUmmies, "We didn't see them coming...we had the blinds closed."
