A gunman opened fire on a US Navy and Marine recruiting office and a Reserve Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee, killing four US Marines.  The wounded include a Marine recruiter and a police officer.  “We heard one single shot, which kind of sparked our attention,” said Sgt. 1st Class Robert Dodge, who was working in the recruiting office.  “Shortly after that, just a few seconds, the shooter began shooting more rounds.  We realized it was an actual shooting, so we then initiated our active shooter drill: getting down low to the ground, moving to a safe location.  And we waited until everything seemed to be clear.”

Federal investigators took over the investigation early on, and confirmed the identity of the gunman as Muhammad Youseff Abdulaziz, a 24-year old naturalized citizen from Kuwait.  He apparently has at least one prior contact with law enforcement for driving under the influence.  It’s not clear if he was killed by police or shot himself to death, ending the attack. 

US President Barack Obama says the killings in Chattanooga are “heartbreaking”, and is promising a thorough and prompt investigation.  Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam said, “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.”  The Department of Homeland Security is stepping up security at federal facilities “out of an abundance of caution”, DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson said in a statement. 

Islamic State militants in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula claim to have carried out a missile attack on an Egyptian naval ship in the Mediterranean.  The SITE Intelligence Group uploaded photos appearing to show a guided anti-tank missile being used to target the frigate.  Other Egyptian navy ships rushed to the scene to rescue the sailors on the burning frigate. 

A US drone strike in southwestern Somalia killed a senior commander and other members of the extremist group Al Shabaab.  A joint force operation planned by the US and African Union was advancing on the town of Bardhere when the insurgents attacked – they called in a US drone strike to counter the rebels.

A court in Colorado found James Holmes guilty of the murders of twelve people at a movie theater in 2012, making the former neuroscience graduate student eligible for the death penalty.  The defense said Holmes was insane at the time of the shooting, when he dyed his hair bright red and shot up a multiplex where the latest Batman film was being shown.

Italy’s Coast Guard rescued 2,700 Eritrean migrants from rickety smuggler boats on the Mediterranean in a 24-hour span.

Banks in Greece are set to reopen on Monday after the European Central Bank (ECB) agreed to raise emergency funding.  People will still only be able to withdraw 60 Euros per day, and that will be raised only gradually.  But like the rest of the bailouts and loans, it’s doubtful any of the money from the ECB will even get to the Greek people.  A 7-Billion Euro loan from the European Financial Stabilization Mechanism (EFSM) is supposedly en route.  But Greece needs to repay 4.2 Billion Euros to the ECB on Monday; and then it needs to make up all its missed payments to the IMF.  In other words, that money is going out the door as soon as it comes in, and the Greek people then have to suffer through deeper austerity.
