Aight, so here's what I know...
The first shooting took place at a recruiting center in a strip mall off of Lee Highway, one of the most heavily traveled roads in suburban Chattanooga. That is where a large number of bullets were fired. The location itself is not road-facing, but instead is at a 90 degree angle from the main road.
From there, the suspect made his way to a Naval Reseve Center on Amnicola Highway, which is the secondary artery into downtown, and runs parallel to the river. This would have been about a 7-10 mile trip, and would have taken *at least* 10-15 minutes to make during mid-morning traffic. The center itself had some level of barricade, but was not armed by any kind of checkpoint or anything like that. This reserve center is very, very close to the Chattanooga PD headquarters.
To be honest, I travel by the Naval center every day, and have never really thought anything about it.
Before the shooter was "taken down," there were reports that it was a white male fleeing the Lee Hwy scene in a silver Mustang.
After the shootings, Erlanger hospital (in the heart of downtown) where the four Marines and one cop shot were taken, was locked down. Since then, the lockdown was lifted, but the four Marines have died. The one cop was shot in the ankle, and appears to be OK.
The FBI and the US Attorney have said that they are investigating this as an act of domestic terrorism, but they have not confirmed anything about the weapons used, possible motives, or anything. Only that the shooter acted alone.

Now can we suspend any and all Muslim-related government sanctioned events? Obviously it is a hateful ideology and its symbols have no place in a free society.

How long before Obama calls it work place violence?
How long before we find out this guy, from Kuwait, is one of the illegal aliens Obama welcomed into this country?

I'm with you Brother ... and this is why there is a growing quiet movement that is going to lead to more and more really scary scenarios where citizens start fighting back, in various ways, against this crap I'm afraid.
I dunno. Supposedly there were some tweets that went out 15 minutes before the shootings took place, tweets from ISIS ... which might indicate this was a "sleeper" of sorts.

DOD mandated rules don't allow Soldiers in uniform to conceal carry.
frick those rules..
I haven't cared about Islam ever since seeing what they did to each other. Sectarian Islamic violence is the devil and it needs to be put to sleep.
I could shoot this guy in the face and take an 8 hour nap.

We need to expand our outreach to the world's Muslim community. Maybe bring more of them over here to study and work. Set them up with a subsidized apartment and a monthly cultural stipend. I am sure they will see that we are really the good guys. Then go back and tell their ISIS buddies to lay down their arms. What could possibly go wrong?
