Officials Identify Shooter In Tennessee

(Associated Press)  -  Four U.S. Marines are dead after a gunman opened fire at two military facilities today in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Officials say the shooter also wounded a soldier and a police officer before being killed.

President Obama says federal and local authorities will be thorough and prompt about getting answers on today's deadly shootings at two military centers in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

He said the FBI is taking the lead in the investigation.

A federal prosecutor said the shootings were being treated as an ``act of domestic terrorism,'' but the FBI says authorities are still investigating a motive.

Two U.S. officials identified the four dead as Marines.

A U.S. official says the gunman has been identified as 24-year-old Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez.

He was believed to have been born in Kuwait, and it was unclear whether he was a U.S. or Kuwaiti citizen. The official was speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing, sensitive investigation. It was not immediately clear whether the gunman's first name was spelled Muhammad or Mohammad.

He is from Hixson, Tennessee, which is just a few miles across the river from Chattanooga.

The shootings happened at two military recruiting offices in Chattanooga, sending troops scrambling for safety.
