According to WRCB, multiple federal agencies are being called in on the Chattanooga shootings. The FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms are being called in. Also the Dept. of Homeland Security activated its strike team in Chattanooga, and other strike teams in surrounding districts are being put on standby. Tennessee Highway Patrol Officers have secured the Tennessee State Capitol building.
More news outlets are now reporting that four members of the U.S. military (possible all Marines) and one Chattanooga Police Officer were shot in the incident, which appears to have begun at the Naval Recruiting Center and ended at the Naval Reserve Center. At this time, the conditions of those who were shot are not being released.
Although the area is not considered to be an active shooter scene any longer, nearby businesses remain locked down, as are Chattanooga State, Erlanger Hospital, Memorial Hospital and Lee University.
