Five dead after ‘domestic terrorism’

Five people were killed yesterday including a suspected gunman who opened fire at two military-related facilities in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in an attack officials described as an act of terrorism.

“We are treating this as an act of domestic terrorism,” said Bill Killian, an attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee.

The gunman was named as 24-year-old Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez, a Kuwaiti national who lived in Hixson, a few miles from Chattanooga.
