unfortunately, can be targets. it s the early going. we don t know what the motivation was here but the wince telling us this man with a big rifle pulled up and shot seemingly indiscriminately at these multiple recruiting offices. we re learning what the naval reserve center in chattanooga does. this is basically a support center for all the brave men and women who volunteer in the reserve forces in this country. i ll read you their mission statement for what this facility does. the mission of the navy reserves is ready now anywhere, any time. the chattanooga mission is to support this goal, providing training and readiness for our reserve component personnel to enable them to support the needs of the navy at any time. let s remember, pamela, these are oftentimes civilians who give up their own time to serve and to protect this, to protect this country. frankly, military centers are considered among law enforcement one of the top targets for several reasons. of course, there is a ter
conference from the mayor of chattanooga, once it begins. i want to go to pamela brown, who is monitoring the federal government s response to this. the fbi is involved. i take it the atf is involved. pamela what are you learning? absolutely. wolf we know the fbi from the knoxville office as well as the atlanta office and the atf. even though we re getting word that the active shooter situation has come to an end, according to authorities, according to that tweet, the investigation, wolf, is far from over. what typically happens here is that there are evidence response teams on the ground right now trying to gather as much information as possible to piece together what happened here. who was the shooter or shooters. what was the motive? and try to piece, put the pieces of the puzzle together. we know also s.w.a.t teams are on the scene and victim witness specialists normally respond, as well talking to anyone who may have seen this. usually in these types of
thing. they saw the man sitting in a convertible mustang with a large rifle. backed up and didn t speed away. i mean, is that surprising? you ve covered a lot of, unfortunately, tragic shootings. it s not surprising, frankly. we heard about this and many other shootings where the shooter is just very calm. very, you know, it s sort of diligent, if you will. and sort of has this plan in place. i m going to go and i m going to shoot this target and it s really not surprising. i think deliberate is the word that i m looking for. deliberate. not surprising at all. in fact, i feel more times than not that is the way that they are. yeah. stay with me, pamela, thank you. harry houck on the phone. we re hearing from the mayor there of chattanooga that there is an officer down and we just want to be very careful when reporting this. we don t know officer down and injured or officer down and dead, correct?
