CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) – The latest on the Chattanooga shootings at two military facilities (all times local):

___

8:10 a.m.

The 24-year-old man who authorities say attacked two military facilities Thursday in Chattanooga and killed four Marines is believed to have been arrested for drunken driving in April.

A booking report and mug shot from Hamilton County shows a Mohammad Youssduf Adulazeer was charged with first offense drunken driving on April 20 and arrested by the Chattanooga Housing Authority. His age and address match the suspect of the man authorities say attacked the military facilities, though the spelling of his name is slightly different from Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez. Federal authorities and public records have given several spellings of the name.

The online booking report doesn’t give the status of the case, saying only that he was charged.
