He added that “other individuals” were shot too, but are in stable condition.

“It is incomprehensible to see what happened and the way that individuals who proudly served our country were treated,” Berke added. “[There were] two different locations this individual went to. And as a city, we will respond with every available resource we have.”

UPDATE (LB): The gunman has been identified as 24-year-old Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez, police have confirmed to Fox News. 

Abdulazeez, 24, was born in Kuwait, a U.S. official told Fox. It was not immediately clear if he was a U.S. or Kuwaiti citizen. He was reported to be from Hixson, Tenn., just across the river from Chattanooga.

The law enforcement source said preliminary reports indicate Abdulazeez, who also died, was not on the FBI's radar leading up to Thursday's attacks. The circumstances of his death were not immediately disclosed.
