And Chattanooga is on the evening news.

You know, we are not going to see another 9/11 event.

But what is going to happen is a nationwide organized shooting carried out by these individual terrorists.

I am not sure that I would use the word "heartbreaking" in relation to these shootings. Outraged. Incomprehensible.

 

Perhaps the word has a different meaning for President Obama than it does for me.

It's heartbreaking for the victim's families.

OK, I definitely get that. But does it stop at simply heartbreaking for the President? I think he could have expressed his outrage more strongly.

He couldn't show outrage over the Marines death, he was too upset over the gunman death.

You would think, but then again, he has shown over and over that he is a Muslim sympathizer.

Also, why are military stations gun free? These guys (and gals) are the ultimate trainees in weaponry. WHY are they not allowed to carry a gun?

I don't know.

But would it had made a difference today?

4 marines are dead.

Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez, left, opened fire at two military facilities in Chattanooga, Tennessee, killing four Marines and wounding three others before he was killed. At right is the recruiting center’s front door, which was pierced by bullets. (Facebook)

Mohammod Youssof Abdulazeez has been identified by the FBI as the gunman who fatally shot four Marines and wounded a police officer on Thursday in shootings at two military recruiting and training centers in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Abdulazeez, 24, is also dead, the FBI says.

At least two others were injured, including one in critical condition. The officer is in stable condition. The shootings happened at separate military reserve centers on Lee Highway and Amnicola Highway.

Here’s what we know so far:


1. He Was a Naturalized U.S. Citizen Originally From Kuwait

NBC News reports that Abdulazeez is a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Kuwait. He came to the United States in 1996 with his parents.

Authorities said the gunman lived in the Chattanooga area recently, but CBS News reports that he was from Phoenix, Arizona. The Associated Press says he lived in Hixson, Tennessee, which is a community in Chattanooga. The FBI is at the neighborhood where his family lives:

 

CBS News earlier incorrectly reported he was a 41-year-old from Arizona. His first name was also initially spelled Muhammad, but public records and the FBI list it as Mohammod.

He was arrested on April 21, 2015 for driving under the influence in Hamilton County, Tennessee, according to the Chattanoogan.com.

Police have not yet released a motive for why the gunman targeted the two military facilities and military personnel.

Authorities said he did not work at the military centers. The case is being investigated as possible “domestic terrorism” and the FBI is leading the probe.

Abdulazeez was not being watched by the FBI or on any terror watchlists prior to the shooting, CBS News reports.

The FBI is now trying to determine if he has any ties to terror groups, if he was inspired by organizations like ISIS and if he had any accomplices. The Justice Department said it is a “national security” investigation.

Police believe the gunman acted alone and they are not actively searching for another shooter.

 

President Obama also said it appeared the attack was carried out by a lone gunman.

2. An ISIS-Affiliated Account Ominously Tweeted About the Shooting

An ISIS-affiliated account sent out this tweet before the Chattanooga shooting. (@K_H_O7777777777/Twitter)

 

An ISIS-related account tweeted “O American dogs soon YOU will see the wonders,” and used #Chattanooga.

 

The tweet’s timestamp shows it was sent at 10:34 a.m. Eastern, which is about the same time the shooting began and before it had been reported on social or traditional media. The first shooting happened at about 10:45 a.m., the FBI said.

 

The account, which has been suspended, has tweeted out other references to Chattanooga:

 

 

The account also has several anti-American and pro-ISIS tweets.

 

The tweet is similar to one sent out moments before two ISIS-inspired gunmen opened fire outside the “Draw Muhammad” event in Garland, Texas, in May.

 

ISIS often uses social media to recruit supporters and to distribute its propaganda videos, including disturbing executions.

 

The terror organization had called for an increase in terror attacks at the end of Ramadan. The holiday comes to a close at sundown Thursday.

3. He Was a Recent College Grad & Electrical Engineer

Abdulazeez attended Red Bank High School in Tennessee. According to the Chattanooga Times Free Press, his high school yearbook quote was, “My name causes national security alerts. What does yours do?”

 

 

 

Abdulazeez graduated from the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga in 2012, according to posts on his mother’s Facebook page and a resume posted on Indeed.com.

 

He graduated with a degree in electrical engineering. He worked from April 2009 to April 2010 as an intern with the Tennessee Valley Authority. He also had internships at Mohawk Industries and Global Trade Express.

 

The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports that his father is a city employee in the public works department.

 

CBS News incorrectly reported that he was an employee of the city of Chattanooga:

A woman who worked at a restaurant next to the recruiting office on Lee Highway told CNN she saw the shooting.

 

“I looked out of our window and I seen the guy in his car, a silver Mustang, drop top, a white guy and he had a high-powered rifle and was just firing shots into the Air Force, Navy and Marines office,” Gina Mule told CNN. “I don’t even know how many shots he fired, but it was a lot. … After he got done opening fire, he pulled out really quick.”

The two military facilities are about eight miles apart. Police say the shooter went to the Amnicola Highway location after opening fire on Lee Highway. The four Marines were killed there and Abdulazeez also died there, but authorities haven’t said if he was fatally shot or killed himself.

There are so many sick people out there trying to find a way to make an impact. All the social media outreach by the terrorist organizations is sucking these people in and grooming them to act out. the terrorists are using technology free to get others to do their dirty deeds. Until we combat cyber hacking and mental illness and secure our borders this type of event will become more common.

Just found out, the shooter worked about a half mile from my house. He lived somewhere near, but haven't released his address yet...

He called out sick this week...
