CHATTANOOGA — A heavily armed attacker<span style="color: Red;">*</span>sprayed two military sites with gunfire Thursday, killing four U.S. Marines and wounding three other people. The attacker was also killed.
The FBI identified the gunman as Mohammod<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Youssef Abdulazeez, 24.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>WRCB-TV<span style="color: Red;">*</span>reported<span style="color: Red;">*</span>that he was a naturalized U.S. citizen from Kuwait.
U.S. Attorney Bill Killian said the attack was being<span style="color: Red;">*</span>investigated as possible<span style="color: Red;">*</span>"domestic terrorism." The FBI cautioned that it was "premature to speculate on the motives of the shooter at this time."
U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said the FBI will lead a national security<span style="color: Red;">*</span>investigation into the shooting.
"I have directed the FBI to take the lead in the national security investigation of this heinous attack on members of our military.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>The U.S. Attorney’s office and department prosecutors are also actively involved," she said in a statement released Thursday.
Hours after the first attack, at an all-branches recruiting center,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>law officers with guns drawn swarmed a house they suspected was<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Abdulazeez's in Hixson, Tenn. Authorities took away two women<span style="color: Red;">*</span>in handcuffs.
The Marine Corps said the four Marines died<span style="color: Red;">*</span>at a<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Navy-Marine training site about 7 miles from the all-branches recruiting center. A<span style="color: Red;">*</span>fifth Marine was wounded in the leg but not seriously hurt at the training center. A Chattanooga<span style="color: Red;">*</span>police officer was wounded in the ankle, Mayor Andy Berke said.
"This is a nightmare for the city of the Chattanooga," he said.
President Obama called<span style="color: Red;">*</span>the attack "heartbreaking."
The gunman, who <span style="color: Red;">*</span>drove a<span style="color: Red;">*</span>silver Mustang convertible, first fired at an Armed Forces Career Center at a strip mall, then sped<span style="color: Red;">*</span>off in the sports car. Police found numerous shell casings in the parking lot.
The shooter drove to the U.S. Naval Reserve Center on Amnicola Highway, where he fired into the offices.

Residents of Colonial Shores, a quiet, shaded neighborhood in Hixson, Tenn., <span style="color: Red;">*</span>were prevented from returning to their homes Thursday afternoon by an armed guard. The neighborhood<span style="color: Red;">*</span>is about 7 miles from the Naval Reserve Center.
The Navy confirmed that four U.S. Marines were killed in the incident<span style="color: Red;">*</span>but withheld the names until family could be notified.

The Navy said its Operational Support Center, where the fatal shootings occurred, provides training and readiness support for reserves.
"Today, the Navy and Marine Corps team collectively mourn the loss of four heroes," Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus said. "The tragedy in Chattanooga is both devastating and senseless."

Chattanooga Police Chief Fred Fletcher<span style="color: Red;">*</span>said the gunman "brutally and brazenly attacked" members of the military and police.
Authorities didn't<span style="color: Red;">*</span>disclose whether the gunman was killed by officers or shot himself.
The incident began around 10:45 a.m. and was over within 30 minutes.
Gale Mule, a witness, told CNN that a shooter drove up to Navy offices<span style="color: Red;">*</span>and began "firing into the building."<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Local media said the shooter was firing a high-powered rifle.
