FBI calls Chattanooga shooter a homegrown violent extremist

The Chattanooga gunman who killed five U.S. troops acted alone without help from anyone else, and investigators are treating him as a "homegrown violent extremist," the FBI said Wednesday.

However, it is too early to determine whether Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez was "radicalized" before the attacks at two military sites, said Ed Reinhold, the FBI's special agent in charge in Knoxville.

Officials did not clarify the difference between homegrown violent extremism and radicalization.

For the first time, officials provided a rough timeline of what happened at the second facility the 24-year-old attacked. Abdulazeez opened fire on the first facility, a recruiting office, from his rented, silver Mustang convertible and never got out. He then went to a joint Marine-Navy facility about 7 miles away.

Wasn’t him shooting up two locations of U.S. military radical enough for them to identify?

Maybe the FBI will tell us he was a Big Rush Limbaugh fan and was a Trump supporter too?

This is such Bull $hit. They are totally covering up who did

it and bearing false witness on who did it.

Lies, lies, lies. That’s all they know.

We sure seem to have a lot of first generation “homegrown” terrorists these days. A whole truckload of them are somalians.

You got that right, those somalians routinely disappear to go train. They may also be more inclined to go after targets like schools and churches, like Boko Haram.

Well thank heavens. All those warnings, all the increased security, with an almost certainty of an attack during Ramadan, specifically against military targets, WERE A FALSE ALARM.
