While four marines were killed, one police officer remains hospitalized after being shot, and another soldier was also wounded. Authorities are calling today's violence a possible "act of domestic terrorism".
“We are treating this as an act of domestic terrorism,” said Bill Killian, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee.
The names of the Marines who were reportedly shot were not immediately released pending notification of their families. The gunman who died in the attack remains unidentified. While his identity remains a secret, his motivations or the events leading up to his death also remain unclear pending investigation.
"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.
President Obama was briefed on the shooting and White House spokesman Eric Schultz said the president will continue to be updated.
