Investigators with the FBI Evidence Response Team and NCIS search a pull-off along the Tennessee River from River Canyon Road on Thursday, July 30, 2015, in Chattanooga, Tenn. About 200 FBI investigators are still in Chattanooga to investigate the July, 16 shootings.
A U.S. official says the gunman in the shootings in Tennessee has been identified as 24-year-old Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez, according to the Associated Press.The investigation into 24-year-old Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez’s July 16 on two military sites in Chattanooga is focused on two key questions, the FBI agent in charge said Wednesday.
Did anyone help Abdulazeez in the attacks?
And is there anyone else who might launch a similar attack?
“Those are our top two priorities for the investigation,” said Ed Reinhold, special agent in charge.
For 17 days after the attack, FBI agents worked side by side with state, local and other federal investigators in the Hamilton County Emergency Operations Center on Amnicola Highway to find clues to those questions.
