Police Superintendent Orders CPD Officers To Guard Military Recruiting Centers

Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy ordered CPD officers stationed at all military recruiting city. The order comes after Thursday’s attacks on two military centers in Chattanooga, TN, that left the 24-year-old gunman and four U.S. Marines dead.

Authorities say Mohammad Youssuf Abdulazeez opened fire at a military recruitment center before driving seven miles to another military site where he sprayed the windows with gunfire, killing the four Marines.

The FBI is investigating the possibility that the shootings were an act of a domestic terrorism, according to news reports.

The police superintendent announced the order over Twitter on Thursday evening:

“Police Supt. Garry McCarthy has ordered CPD officers stationed at all military recruiting sites within the city, until further notice.”
