Who was Chattanooga shooter Mohammad Youssuf Abdulazeez?

July 17, 2015 23:39

A once devoted, disciplined mixed martial arts fighter. A top student known for smarts, charm and humor. A devout Muslim, who kept in touch with his roots in the Middle East.

That's how a former coach and classmates describe Mohammad Youssuf Abdulazeez, 24, who killed four U.S. Marines and wounded three more people Thursday in Chattanooga. Police killed Abdulazeez.

People who knew him were stunned to hear he was the man who sprayed a military recruiting center at a strip mall with bullets, then drove 7 miles to assault a Navy Operational Support Center.
