A gunman opened fired on two military facilities in Chattanooga, Tennessee, leaving the gunman and four military personnel dead. U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Texas, released the following statement:

Chairman McCaul: "The targeting of our military personnel who volunteer to protect our freedoms strikes at the heart of our country. We must remain alert to the fact that there are people right here in America who are intent on striking from within. And we must remain vigilant in our efforts to counter the evil and twisted ideology that drives vulnerable minds into unconscionable acts of violence and hate. The families of the Marines killed are in my thoughts and prayers and to those who were injured I hope for a speedy recovery."
