Shootings in Chattanooga and Cleveland?!?!

[glowdotGlock]

Saw this reposted on a friend's twitter a little while ago, didn't realize it was near real time!

My prayers go out to the victims and their families. :(

Just assuming it was an evil AR that did this it looks like the shooter did at least one mag and even more into the glass.

I'm happy to say my office encourages conceal carry...

Holes look kind of big for an AR.

I had to do a double take when I read a text that said they had shut down the Bradley mall. Any gunman walking in there is going to find a ghost town. That place has been dead every time I've been in there for many years now.

I know it is a fluid situation but it is hard to get a sense of what is happening. The mayor tweeting that it was a "horrific situation" doesn't help. I don't know about you guys - and even 1 person shot is bad - but horrific to me means multiple fatalities/kids/nuns etc...

 

Here's hoping that any good guys shot come through 100% and any bad guys are partaking in a dirt nap.

It seems like these "random acts" are becoming less and less random. :shake:

Its time to arm our armed forces!

I doubt that will happen. The military is very uncomfortable arming service members at home. This makes them great targets at these recruitment centers. It also makes the civilians that work around these recruitment centers great targets too.

You dont have to arm them at home...they should have the ability to be armed on bases and in places like this tho "check in and out process maybe?". They dont have to put a gun in every home necessarily.

By home, I meant US soil.

Jesus.....prayers go out to all your guys down there as well as the families and friends of the shooting victims.

My kids were over near the cleveland mall when it was locked down. Glad when I learned it was just a precaution. Prayers for those affected in Chattanooga.

It was also reported earlier that there was shooting event in Athens at a military recruiting center at about the same time. I guess that was inaccurate reporting??? Edited July 16, 2015 by Wingshooter

By arming, I mean allow concealed carry at work for those that want to.  Have a Ready Reaction Force armed and ready to respond to all entrances of a base, so as many as would be needed for that.  Select service members should be armed, such as recruiters and those that are in isolated locations such as the two areas we are discussing now.

Gov. Haslem has said that "lives were lost".

CNN reporting that 3 were hurt and 3 killed and that there is no known link to terrorism. 

AP is reporting 5 dead including the gunman.

The Mayor of Chattanooga is speaking. 4 individuals were killed along with the gunman.  One police officer was wounded in the ankle.  Others also shot.  The same gunman attacked both locations.  The police chief said no other details would be forth coming at this time.

Bill Killian, U.S. Attorney for East Tennessee says this is being treated as an act of domestic terrorism.

Bill Killian, Federal Prosecutor says this is being treated as an act of domestic terrorism.

Oh really...? Will be interesting to see who the shooter was and what kind of weapons he had...

Heard a report on fox that the FBI was there immediately. My guess is they knew there was some sort of threat.

I dont like the direction this is going.

[Moped]

2 other individuals were wounded.  The gunman was believed to have lived in the Chattanooga area.

[Moped]

Domestic Terrorism does not rule out links to ISIS.  This from the FBI. There is no determination of motive.  Could be a criminal attack.

I sincerely wish the news media's would refrain from reporting anything before the smoke even has a chance to clear. They never have it right but just in a rush to be the first to report. I would rather be the 5th to report but the first with real facts so I did not look like a fool..............jmho                                  Prayers sent for the fallen soldiers and their families.................. :( :(
