Shootings in a Tennessee Marine location

So in my hometown, Chattanooga, there have been some shootings, and they have been confirmed to be partially to do with ISIS, and even the man's yearbook quote was (His name is Mohammed) "My name strikes thoughts of terrorism when people see it. What does yours do?" This makes it even more suspicious that he has been planning this since High School. There were also some in Cleveland, Tennessee as well and struck there last, but he was shot down in a gunfight and killed, with 3 officers injured.
Might be ready in a bit.

I see no relation between his name and the shootings. This sounds to me more like a guy who sympathized with the ISIS methodology and carried it out, the media started putting out that it's ISIS-based because of his name and clear psychopathy, and that in turn brought ISIS supporters to send threats, which only further made Americans think ISIS plotted this.

This brings back to mind the Oklahoma beheading, where a newly-converted Muslim went into a factory, sliced a woman's head off with a machete, and severely injured seven others before he was arrested. Another hyped up act of propoganda, where the man had no relation to ISIS, yet it was believed to have been such.

That's just my perspective, though. I'm waiting to see what other leads are brought.

I was talking with my mom about it and she said that Chattanooga was rated the #1 City in the US and they were competing with some state in Washington, and she thinks that he could be trying to deface Chattanooga for whatever reason.

Googling shows it only has #1 for most flu-ridden city and just lost #1 for most bible-minded city.
