The U.S. Navy tweeted Thursday that there has been a shooting at a Navy reserve center on Amnicola Highway in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The Navy also said it was investigating a shooting at another Navy building in the city.
One officer is “down” in connection with the shooting, Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke told reporters.
He was not specific about the officer’s condition.
“This is a very, very terrible situation and we need to go figure out how we can handle it,” he said.
Meanwhile, a witness in Chattanooga told CNN that she saw a gunman fire shots at a building that houses military recruiting offices Thursday morning.
The witness, Gina Mule, said she was watching through a window from a restaurant where she works as a server. In an earlier account, she said she saw a man with “a high-powered rifle” fire multiple shots around 10:50 a.m. ET.
Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke earlier tweeted that a “horrific incident” had taken place in his city, but he did not immediately provide details.

Chattanooga Shooting Suspect Dead: Shooter Shot Four U.S. Marines, One Tennessee Cop
Witnesses say at least one Chattanooga shooting suspect fired from a silver Ford Mustang using a high-powered rifle. They told police that a man pulled into the parking lot of a U.S. military recruitment center on Aminicola Highway but then sped away to Bradley County, where another recruiting center is located at a mall. It is believed the shooter shot at least four U.S. Marines and one police officer, and witnesses claim to have seen a total of three ambulances, two with police escorts, going to Erlanger Hospital. The latest reports also say the Chattanooga shooting suspect is dead.
In a related report by the Inquisitr, Dylann Storm Roof’s charges include nince counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder.
The Chattanooga shootings have shut down large parts of the Tennessee city, but so far police say there is no indication that the events are part of a terrorist attack.
Marilyn Hutcheson, who works across the street from the U.S. Naval Reserve building on Amnicola Highway, says she heard a barrage of gunfire. The gunfire continued as the entire area was put on lockdown.
“I couldn’t even begin to tell you how many,” she said.
“It was rapid fire, like pow pow pow pow pow, so quickly. The next thing I knew, there were police cars coming from every direction. We’re apprehensive. Not knowing what transpired, if it was a grievance or terroristic related, we just don’t know.”
Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke earlier said it is possible the Chattanooga shooting suspect is down.
“This is a very, very terrible situation,” he said. “I’m very concerned about what’s going on. We need to figure out how to handle it.”
So far, reports from the Associated Press claim the Chattanooga shooting victims include “at least two Marines and a police officer have been shot in Chattanooga, Tennessee. No confirmed word yet on their conditions.” Another early report from CBS claims the Chattanooga shooting suspect is dead and that only two U.S. Marines were shot.
Police have not yet identified the Chattanooga shooting suspect’s name although we will update this report once it is known.

4 Marines reportedly dead in shooting attack at Tennessee Navy facility
Published July 16, 2015 FoxNews.com
NOW PLAYINGOfficials: 5 victims in Chattanooga shootings
BREAKING NEWS: Four Marines were reportedly killed Thursday in one of two attacks at U.S. Navy facilities in Chattanooga, Tenn., and at least one shooter was dead.
The Marines were killed by a gunman who opened fire at a Naval Reserves Operations Center on Amnicola Highway, according to the Chattanooga Times Free Press. Marilyn Hutcheson, who works at Binswanger Glass just across the street from the Naval Reserve Center on Amnicola Highway, said she heard a barrage of gunfire around 11 a.m."It was rapid fire, like pow pow pow pow pow, so quickly"- Marilyn Hutcheson, a witness
"I couldn't even begin to tell you how many," she said. "It was rapid fire, like pow pow pow pow pow, so quickly. The next thing I knew, there were police cars coming from every direction."
The names of the Marines who were reportedly shot were not immediately released, and government officials did not confirm the report.
The shooting there came around the same time that a gunman in a silver Mustang opened fire at a Navy recruiting office in a strip mall some seven miles away, on Lee's Highway. The shooter stopped in front of the recruiting facility, shot at the building and drove off, said Brian Lepley, a spokesman with the U.S. Army Recruiting Command in Fort Knox, Ky.
Lepley said the recruiting center on Old Lee Highway has recruiting services for all four branches of the military. The Army recruiters told Lepley they have evacuated and are safe. He has no information about recruiters for the other branches.
It was not immediately known if the shootings were related, or what prompted them.

I imagine it was our greed for oil that took us to the middle east. However, Eisenhower told us 59 or so years ago to stay out of middle east affairs. I guess that would now have to be filed under "warnings from old timers we ignored."
