The family of a man who allegedly fatally shot four Marines and a Navy sailor in an attack on military facilities in Chattanooga this week expressed their condolences on Saturday to the victims and said their son suffered from depression, NBC News reported.
"There are no words to describe our shock, horror, and grief. The person who committed this horrible crime was not the son we knew and loved," the family of Mohammad Youssuf Abdulazeez said in a statement Saturday.
Authorities have not yet determined the motive behind Thursday's deadly attack, in which the 24-year-old allegedly sprayed a Marine recruiting office with gunfire before driving to a reserve center, fatally shooting the Marines and wounding the Navy sailor before he was killed in a shootout with police.
