Prayer Alert - Shooter
Kills 4 in Attacks on Tennessee Recruiting Centers
Five people
were killed – four Marines and agunman – in shooting attacks at two different
military facilities Thursday, officials said. Three others were injured,
including a police officer who was shot in the leg.
Multiple law enforcement sources
said the shooter was deceased after the attacks at a Navy recruiting building
and a Marine Reserve Center. U.S. Attorney Bill Killian said the case is being
investigated as an “act of domestic terrorism.” The wounded officer was in
surgery and was expected to be okay.
At a news conference, Chattanooga
Mayor Andy Berke called it a “horrific” situation.
Much of the surrounding area was
placed on lookdown, including Chattanooga State Community College.
President Barack Obama has been
briefed by his national security spokesman on the shooting involving two
military sites. A White House spokesman said the President will continue
getting updates from his staff as needed.

As the Lord leads, please pray:
- For the families of the deceased military recruiting officers, and, indeed, also the family of the gunman.
- For full and speedy recoveries of those who were injured.
- For the investigators who will be seeking to determine motives and whether the shooting was linked to terrorism.
Commitment in Crisis
For years Tim Lee had been, in his words, running from God. But
on an abandoned road in Vietnam one morning, he stepped on a land mine. “My
boot landed squarely on what felt like a miniature volcano. A deafening blast
rammed through my body…in a weak, barely audible voice I prayed, ‘Oh no! God,
not my legs…Lord…please…God get me home to Mom and Dad…I’ll do whatever you
want me to do.’”
|
Then we shall not turn back from you; give
us life, and we will call upon your name!
Psalm 80:18
|
Gravely injured, legs severed and bleeding profusely, Lee would
survive – against the odds. And unlike many who utter heavenly commitments in a
crisis only to forget them later, he made good on his promise to the Lord.
After he returned from Vietnam, Lee surrendered his life to the ministry.
Today, he still preaches around the world…from his wheelchair.
“Give us life,” the Psalmist begged God, “and we will call upon your name!” Wherever you’ve been, whatever you’ve done, this day is a one-time gift you have been given and will never have again. May you be a shining testimony to freedom in God as you serve Him and pray for the nation and its leaders.
