Officials said a gunman unleashed a barrage of fire at a recruiting center and another U.S. military site a few miles apart in Chattanooga on Thursday, killing at least four Marines.

In addition to the Marines killed, three people were reported wounded, including a sailor who was said to have been seriously hurt.
President Barack Obama pledged a prompt and thorough investigation.
