Another shooting

Slate has an article by Jeremy Stahl about yet another idiot with a gub:

A police officer has been shot and local officials and media reported that there had been multiple shootings near an Army Reserve center in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on Thursday. "There has been several shootings at several different locations. It's a fluid situation," said John Harmon, a spokesman for the Tennessee Highway Patrol.
Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke confirmed that there was an “officer down” and called it a "horrific incident".
Chattanooga State Community College was on lockdown, as was Lee University.
Local media were reporting that the incidents occurred at military recruiting centers.
The Navy was investigating reports of shooting incidents at two recruiting centers. Chattanooga city and Federal officials confirmed that four Marines were killed by a lone gunman in an attack on two separate military centers in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The shooter also died after being engaged by local police.
“Somebody brutally and brazenly attacked members of our armed services,” Chief of Police Fred Fletcher told reporters.
Officials confirmed that the murders took place at a military center on Amnicola Highway after a separate attack on a recruiting center on Lee Highway, from which terrifying images of bullet-hole ridden window panes had appeared. They also confirmed that three others were injured, including one police officer. The FBI is leading the investigation.
There was some confusion as to whether or not this was being considered terrorism, or being investigated as such. US attorney Bill Killian initially said the investigation was being conducted as if it were “an act of domestic terrorism” before ultimately backtracking and asking that “we not get caught up in labels”.
The FBI’s Ed Reinhold said “we will treat this as a terrorism investigation until it can be determined that it is not” and then said “we are looking at every possible avenue” including the possibility that it was not terrorism. “If he’s motivated by ISIS or somebody else, that would be an act of terrorism,” Reinhold said. Few details were released about the shooter, but Reinhold said that he was “from this area or residing in this area before the event." He added that the shooter did not work at the facility where the Marines were killed.
Local reporters said that multiple weapons were used by the gunman and one reporter tweeted an image purporting to be of the vehicle used in the attack.
