JUST NOW ON THE NEWS @ 2:22 PM, EDT: FOUR MARINES KILLED!From Reuters:
There have been shootings at multiple places in Chattanooga, including near a U.S. Army Reserve center and a Navy recruiting center in the Tennessee city on Thursday, and a police officer was hit by gunfire, officials and local media reports said.
There have been several shootings at several different locations," said Tennessee Highway Patrol spokesman John Harmon. "It's a fluid situation," said Harmon, whose agency was helping local authorities.
"We've got an officer down," Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke told reporters, calling it a "very terrible situation."
The U.S. Navy said it was investigating a report of a shooting at a Navy recruiting center in Chattanooga....
An eyewitness, a woman who states that she was 10 feet away from shooter, is saying that she was "a white guy in a silver Mustang." No tags on the car. The shooter was using a "high-powered rifle."
The photo that I'm seeing on
CNN is showing at least 18 bullet holes in the doors of the Navy Reserve Recruiting Station, which is in a strip mall.
There is also an unconfirmed report of a man driving a black BMW firing on the other location.
The two sites fired upon are 7.5 miles apart.
