From the Times Free Press:
Four soldiers were killed in two attacks on military centers in separate parts of Chattanooga by unknown gunmen, leading to lockdowns at local hospitals as well as the Army Recruiting Center on Lee highway as well as the Naval and Marine Reserve Center at the Chattanooga Riverpark, where shots were fired.
Four marines were killed and one police officer were shot in the attack, according to multiple sources.
One shooter is dead, according to reports, and police say this is no longer an active shooting situation.
In the meantime, all we can do is pray.
