They just said on Fox News they heard from a reliable source the 4 Marines are dead.

PD Chief Fletcher is one they're waiting on. He was in Nashville or something.

Asking for blood? Is that just normal procedure...to help fortify banks?

Or is it needed...because there are lots of victims? More than 4? (Not that this isn't enough of course!)

I keep seeing something about that on social media but local news won't confirm it

The only other time Blood Assurance has ever asked for donations is when we had horrible tornadoes a few years ago and several deaths or when donations are just slow.

Chattanooga shooting victims have required multiple units of blood - if you can donate, PLEASE DO.

Mayor and PD Chief are in a meet before presser so it will be another 15/20 minutes.

Impossible to tell if there are deaths or not from the conflicting reports I'm seeing, but I'm very much afraid there have been fatalities. :(

Time after time, public murder sprees occur in “gun-free zones” - public places where citizens are not legally able to carry guns. The list is long, including massacres at Virginia Tech and Columbine High School along with many less deadly attacks. Last week’s slaughter at Fort Hood Army base in Texas was no different - except that one man bears responsibility for the ugly reality that the men and women charged with defending America were deliberately left defenseless when a terrorist opened fire.

Among President Clinton’s first acts upon taking office in 1993 was to disarm U.S. soldiers on military bases. In March 1993, the Army imposed regulations forbidding military personnel from carrying their personal firearms and making it almost impossible for commanders to issue firearms to soldiers in the U.S. for personal protection. For the most part, only military police regularly carry firearms on base, and their presence is stretched thin by high demand for MPs in war zones.
