Marines Killed After Shootings At Two Chattanooga Naval Reserve Facilities

A gunman opened fire on two military recruitment centers in Chattanooga, Tennessee on Thursday, leaving soldiers dead and wounded.

Officials in the Chattanooga area say the gunman has been shot and killed and that they believe he is the only one involved in the attacks.

Fox News reported that four Marines were killed at one of the two centers.  FBI officials confirmed others were injured and are being treated at local hospitals but there was no information on their condition.

The U.S. Prosecutor for the region said at a press conference the investigation is being conducted “as a case of domestic terrorism.”  He added there is a joint federal, state and local investigation which is why much of the information about the shooting is being withheld from the media and public.

The FBI, ATF and the Department of Homeland Security were on the scene within hours and leading the investigation.

Ed Reinhold, special agent in charge of the FBI at the same news conference praised the local police department for the response and for “neutralizing the threat to the community.”

The FBI confirmed the suspect carried “multiple weapons” but would not describe the weapons.  They believe that the gunman was residing in the area before the attack.  Reinhold also said that while it’s being investigated as domestic terrorism, it’s possible the attack was not related to terrorism and just an act of violence.

Venus, Jupiter To Provide “Best Backyard Sky Show”

Astronomers around the world are preparing for a major galactic event tonight, when Venus and Jupiter will cross paths in the night sky.

“To the eye they’ll look like a double star,” Sky & Telescope editor Kelly Beatty said on the magazine’s website.

Some of the astronomers say that the convergence of the two planets is so bright and noticeable that it could have been the “star of Bethlehem” that is mentioned in the Bible.  The planets will be a “jaw-dropping one-third of a degree apart” according to NASA.

“You’ll be able to hide the pair not just behind the palm of your outstretched hand, but behind your little pinky finger,” NASA says.

NASA says the convergence of the planets takes place about every 13 months.  However, it’s rare that the planets will come so close together in the night sky.  The next time the planets will be this close will be November 2065 when they will appear to cross paths.
