FBI teams are continuing to collect and process evidence collected at the two Chattanooga military sites attacked Thursday as investigators work to reconstruct what happened, according to a news release issued Saturday.
The man accused in the Chattanooga shootings was stopped by a police officer early April 20 while driving erratically, according to an arrest report released by authorities Saturday. According to the report, Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez was stopped for failing to maintain his lane, driving about 10 miles per hour and stopping at green lights. He was “acting very lethargic,” had slurred speech, bloodshot eyes and smelled of alcohol and “burnt marijuana,” the arresting officer wrote.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says he has authorized the adjutant general of the Texas National Guard to arm Guardsmen at military facilities across Texas. Abbott joins governors in Florida and Louisiana in the call to arm Guardsmen after the shootings.
Gov. John Kasich has called for prayers for an Ohio sailor reported as the fifth victim of the deadly shootings. The death of Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Randall Smith, a reservist serving on active duty at a Chattanooga reserve center, was announced Saturday by the Navy.
