Four Marines have been killed in shootings at two US Navy buildings in Chattanooga, Tennessee, officials say. City police said they were investigating the two incidents as an “act of domestic terrorism”. Shots were fired at a US Navy reserve centre and at a recruitment office about six miles (10 km) away.

Chattanooga city police said it was the same gunman at both locations and confirmed that the “active shooter” had been killed. Local media reports said Amnicola Highway – where the reserve centre is located – was cordoned off by police.

The nearby Chattanooga State University’s campus was also in a precautionary lockdown. Eyewitnesses reported seeing a gunman firing from inside a car outside the recruitment centre.Gina Mule, who works at a local restaurant, said the gunman was driving a convertible silver Mustang car. “A lot of shots were fired,” she added.
