No longer an active shooter situation. This is being treated as an act of domestic terrorism.

Shooter identified as Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez

This is a fluid situation, things are going to change with conflicting information and reports

Roads are closed down, people heard gunshots.

Local community college is under lockdown. This is not the site of the shooting, it's simply precaution for the shooting itself

Chattanooga seems to be the town. Will update the thread as more news breaks.

11:50 EST: CNN is currently talking to someone who saw the shooting. Somebody was on top of a silver Mustang was popping off shots in "rapid" succession, described it as "hight powered assault rifle". Witness says the man drove off, car had zero tags on it.

Man, these random shootings is really out of control. Are we ever going to be able to fix this problem?

Yeah, when all the older generations are dead and out of power -including Millennials. We're too far deep into it and ingrained, but I have hope for future generations down the line to fix our nonsense.

Sigh. Here comes the mental illness excuse again.

Don't you know, every other 1st world country (and a few 3rd world) have excellent mental health care which is why America remains the only country where this shit happens on the regular.

Can somebody tell me how to embed tweets? Lots of breaking stuff right now and I want to update the OP

Just screenshot.

ATM, according to the live coverage link, areas have been quarantined and sealed by police with no one allowed to lave.

Silver mustang is suspect's car.

Here's the cycle of reporting and discussion:

* Mental Illness
* VA not doing enough for our troops
* It's not a fully automatic gun you don't know what you're talking about
* ISIS
* Immigrants
* Maybe if a citizen had been armed

* Maybe we DO have a problem with guns?
* Sweden has more gun deaths per capita if you include sheep and grass
* Let's do nothing at all

If this is a Naval Base any gun control arguments are a bit null, though.

It's a military base. They're guns everywhere.

We have no excuses besides a lack of political will on gun control.

I agree. I think these two issues go hand in hand.

Wait, is this pointed at me?
Crying about mental illness is the right's favorite way to deflect from the real solution that will actually save lives.

Also, I have yet to hear a cogent proposal about how we would prevent the mentally ill from getting guns.
