4 U.S. Marines Killed In Domestic Terrorism Attack In Tennessee (Updated)



Reuters: Four Marines and gunman killed in Tennessee shootings

Four U.S. Marines were killed on Thursday by a gunman who opened fire at two military offices in Chattanooga, Tennessee, before being fatally shot in an attack officials called a brazen, brutal act of domestic terrorism.

The FBI named the suspect as Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez, 24, but said it was too early to speculate on a motive for the rampage, which comes at a time when U.S. military and law enforcement authorities are increasingly concerned about the threat posed by 'lone wolves' to domestic targets.

"We are treating this as an act of domestic terrorism," Bill Killian, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee, said earlier, adding that no official determination of the nature of the crime had yet been made and the Federal Bureau of Investigation has not ruled anything out.

The guy did not feel good in his skin obviously and was not able to over succeed in something. He was therefore looking for over admiration and over feeling of power. He was deeply a selfish depressed individual, and decided to took the eazy path of death by a last moment of sense of power and admiration anticipation.

"was not able to over succeed in something"

He graduated in college with a degree in engineering. His biggest hurdle, when it came to employment, is that North Africans and Middle easterners are considered white.

He also had a job. His father was able to hold a job for 3 decades in the same city. How was he not going to succeed except by living a victim narrative?
