Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez has been identified as the Chattanooga, TN shooter responsible for the murder of four US Marines and two wounded victims. Muhammad was 24 years old and is believed to have been born in Kuwait but lived in Hixson, Tennessee, which is just a few miles across the river from Chattanooga.
Muhammad graduated from the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga in 2012 with an engineering degree.
Muhammad was reportedly working as a soil engineering specialist for the city stormwater department.
The names of the four dead Marines have not yet been released, but take some time to think or pray about them and their families.

U.S. Attorney Bill Killian has announced the case will be investigated by the FBI as an “act of domestic terrorism.”

The sad story started when reports came in around 10 AM that a shooter opened fire on two military recruiting centers in the Chattanooga, TN area.
First, it was a recruiting center on Lee Highway, then another Naval reserve recruiting center and training center on Amincola Highway which is around six miles away. It ended only when the gunman was shot, around 1 PM. Police haven’t yet detailed whether or not Muhammad was shot by police or himself.
Original reports indicated that the shooter was a “white male” shooting an assault rifle from a silver drop top Mustang. You can see that car in the photo below:

Now, however, we’ve learned that the shooter is not a white male. He was a domestic (? born in Kuwait) terrorist so now people are going ape sh*t again about radical Muslims in America.

There is little doubt among Americans that Muhammad was a terrorist, and that’s the reality of the world we live in. But this Tweet that people are claiming was sent minutes before the attack is false.

The Tweet was sent at 1:34 PM EST, well after the shooting was over which leads us to believe that the photo below (the one everyone is talking about) was photo shopped. You can actually see the borders around the text look different than the background.
