Chattanooga Shooting Victims Obituary
A fifth victim, a U.S. Navy petty officer, was wounded in the attack and died early Saturday, according to the Navy.
Two other victims were wounded. The suspected shooter is also dead.
The gunman fired shots at two different military facilities, including a Navy Reserve center and a military recruiting center. Witnesses said a man shot bullets into the recruiting center’s glass doors. The U.S. Navy tweeted Thursday that a shooting happened at a separate location -- the Navy Reserve center on Amnicola Highway. The two sites are over 7 miles apart.
Local police Tweeted that the "active shooter situation" was over by 1:15 p.m.
Gina Mule, a server at a restaurant, said she saw a man who'd been in a silver convertible Mustang, firing a "high-powered rifle" at the recruiting offices at about 10:50 a.m. She said she first heard "Pow, pow, pow!" She then went to a window, through which she said she saw the man firing shots.
"I don't know how many shots he fired, but it was a lot," she said.
"Lives have been lost from some faithful people who have been serving our country, and I think I join all Tennesseans in being both sickened and saddened by this," Gov. Bill Haslam said.
Authorities said they had no reason to believe anyone else was involved in the shooting. They also said there was no intelligence indicating the attack ahead of time.

May God Bless And Comfort You
By: Charles G. Turner, Sr.
At times like this when we don't know what to do
Just talk to God and he will see you through
When words sometimes just won't do and you don't know what to say
Just talk to God and let him have his way
When friends and family come and go
Just remember that God has an open door
At times like this when words alone won't do
May God bless and comfort you
