Death Toll Rises to Five from Last Week's Shooting at Military Sites 
---------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The death toll from last week's mass shooting at military sites in
Chattanooga, Tennessee, has risen to five. The victims include four
marines and one sailor. On Friday night, more than 1,000 people attended
a memorial service. The FBI is continuing to investigate the possible
motive of the suspected gunman, Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez, who died in
a firefight following the mass shooting. ABC News is reporting that FBI
interviews with his parents and a diary belonging to Abdulazeez paint a
picture of a disturbed, suicidal young man who used drugs and was
preparing for bankruptcy.
