Chattanooga jihadi, 3 other Muslims went practice shooting before attack

Prentice Cooper Gun Range

Where are the other three now? What are they doing? “Muhammad Abdulazeez reportedly spotted at gun range before deadly attack,” WDEF, July 18, 2015:

CHATTANOOGA, Tennessee(WDEF) – According to a tip that came into WDEF, Muhammad Abdulazeez was spotted at a gun range just weeks before killing four Marines and one Navy Petty Officer.

Abdulazeez was reportedly spotted with three other men who were wearing long beards like Abdulazeez. All four were reportedly practice shooting.

The claim has not been confirmed by law enforcement but several sources told WDEF the men were likely spotted at Prentice Cooper Gun Range.

When News 12 arrived at the gun range, several men who were practicing shooting said a man who claimed to be a former Marine arrived at the range Saturday morning and said he was doing his own investigation to see if Abdulazeez had been shooting at that location.

The men said he asked multiple groups of people who were at the range.

CBS News is also reporting that Abdulazeez told his co-workers that he and a group of guys recently went shooting at a gun range. CBS News got its information from law enforcement sources who interviewed Abdulazeez’s co-workers….

    Let’s see… News team, an alleged former Marine… Where are law enforcement agencies on this? They’re neither confirming nor denying, so have they followed this lead?

      You posed excellent questions. Where the HELL is the FBI? Why are news stations and a man claiming to be a marine investigating this matter?

      I checked the Prentice Cooper Gun Range website. If you scroll way down, you will see the posted sign regarding rules. NO mention of showing identification. http://www.mouseguns.com/prentice/prentice.htm

      Well it certainly looked like he was trained. There is one group of three shots through the door, very close together.

    “grab onto the gun and the sword,” was the advice of imam Abdullah Faaruuq, of the Mosque in Roxbury, Mass. http://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/06/boston-imam-who-said-grab-onto-the-gun-and-the-sword-denies-radicalizing-muslims

    ‘Practice makes perfect’…Maybe gun ranges should require names and valid ID from people who show up to practice.
    Some gun ranges have no attendant, it depends on where you live. Around here there is one gun range business. But the hills are full of old gold mining hydrolic pits of gravel that everyone and their brother have been shooting in for 100 years or more. There is more lead in the gravel than gold. I think just for drill I will call the local gun range and ask them about ID for shooters.

    Do men have to check in, give I.D. when checking into a gun range? Are there video camera’s set up?
    I am just curious. It seems that it should be that way unless it is some private place.

    Also Stan…_In USA, read your comment, is that comment true or a likely conclusion? No investigation is allowed on others friends?

    Where I live, I have noticed many men are now have beards or chin hair especially younger men, a normally” a not interested” person made a comment to me, that he is seeing many bearded men also. Some neat, some pretty wild. looking. Or is this a new trend again.

      Hello to our FELINE friend here ! ! !

      In my humble opinion as a 67 year old who has, for decades, seen trends among young persons ( I was once a young person myself — before Father Time got me by the throat ) I would put only a minor percentage of beard-growing on a copycat influence, if we are talking about urban, NOT rural good-ole boy redneck, regions.

      Rather, my guess would be that there is slowly growing influence by ISIS upon marginally socialized persons . . . with each unfolding episode of carnage, the sick appeal deepens dying under gunfire by LEA.

      AND IN A FASCINATING PARALLEL, remember that Muhammad was also a failure and outcast by Jews and Polytheists whom he pissed off so severely by abrasive disrespect for their established faiths. When he fled and went for sanctuary in Yathrib (now Medina) that was the very bottom of indignity for a man who thought he could succeed.

      We don’t have to be psychiatrists to understand that “Gabriel”s conveniently-timed visitation, and the subsequent dictation of the Qur’an, was projection by Muhammad’s subconscious in an attempt to salvage his shredded ego . . . With a further manifestation of anger in the way he incorporated greater and greater violence as the Hijra unfolded.

      underbed cat, The state I’m in has a WMA (wildlife management area program) that one pays a fee, attached to your hunting license, for privilege to use the state wide areas and many of these areas have a designated gun range that one uses their hunting/wma license to sign in with. Firearms have attendants and archery is usually not. As for beards, I sport one and and used to shave it off every April to October with weather setting the trend. ZZ Top, Duck Dynasty, Willie Nelson and Sean Connery even. Beards won’t be a reliable profile. That arrogant condescending look in their supremacist eyes is dead give away.

        Jul 20, 2015 at 3:04 pm

        Thanks Bezelel….yes I know that cold eyed arrogant look…I have seen it around. I guess my concern was unfounded, but it does appear that many young men have grown beards. Guess I have to stay calm.

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Jul 19, 2015 at 5:27 pm

      Another possibility re beards (I attend an Anglican church and a couple of younger blokes in the congregation, thoroughly well-catechized, one is in fact a Liturgical Attendant, have truly fearsome black beards that would do any Orthodox priest proud).

      It may be that *some* men in Infidel countries have subliminally recognised that Muslims are engaging in aggression – an aggressiveness ‘flagged’ by, for example, the growing and wearing of beards, a macho-type signal – and are defiantly *responding* to that signal, without even necessarily knowing that that is what they are doing.

    Dr. Mohsin Ali — the latest Muslim (in this article) to beg us tolerant Americans NOT to become angry at Abdulazeez — is a child psychiatrist in Chattanooga. His office telephone is listed in relevant medical search engines on the web. An email address should also be available but I could not find it in a brief span. Also, maybe he put up a contact path in professional association resources. Twitter and Facebook public postings would be another choice.

    Some of us Jihad Watch readers here ( who ARE ANGRY ABOUT YET ANOTHER MUSLIM HATE CRIME and who have decided that becoming intolerant of Allah’s slaughterers is prudent and cautiously self-preserving against “lone wolves ) might want to get in touch with Dr. Ali, reminding him of the atrocities both physical AND PSYCHIATRIC that Islam inflicts upon children during the fraternity party rampages ISIS throws every week nowadays.

    We might make a reasonable guess, too THAT HE ALREADY KNOWS OF THOSE PATHOLOGIES . . . but ignores them in his own sick way — to continue pleasing bloodthirsty Allah. Finally, we can drop the “A BOMB” —- APOSTASY — on his taqiyyist head, mentioning that if he summons up the integrity to try a stab at “reform” and that does not work, there is always the option of leaving Islam. But I am not holding my breath on this . . .

      Exactly. There is no tolerance for murderous PSYCHOPATHY.

      Dr. Mohsin Ali seems to think that bashing women and children isn’t cowardly, but normative ‘he-man’ behavior. I say his version of normative Islam is psychopathic and sociopathic.

    Micheal Copeland, I have viewed the video you refer to many times of the Roxberry Mosque in Mass. I also noticed what appeared to be a very young person listening attentively. I found that video on U.T.T.
    I am interested in what is happening and the mind bogging reality of the situation, as a woman I have to ask myself why am I so concerned, when a lot of men don’t seem to want any information. I am hooked on the apparent insurgency in the U.S. I have no connection to this, but I have been aware for a very long time.

      Actually, few Americans are truly concerned about anything but their own lives and their family’s well being. Nothing is going to “wake up” the vast majority of Americans but pain coupled with fear. They “don’t wanna see it” and “don’t wanna know”. I have been thought of as “negative” for being concerned about the downfall of my country and my “judges” have almost always have been “successful” people. Affluence is like a narcotic and even most of the “poor” in this country are affluent compared to the majority of the world’s population. Until successful but uninvolved Americans experience severe economic pain they are not going to get involved in fighting the evil forces that are destroying our country. I’m not even an amateur preacher but this bible verse from Proverbs 29 is apropos – “Where there is no vision the people perish.” It’s ironic but we are being destroyed by success.

    Why would these “individuals” believe they need to kill in God’s name to gain eternal life?

    “Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you.” (Exodus 31:13)

    Wait?! It’s the Lord who sanctifies us?!!! Not the other way around?!!

    The Lord values us enough to “Set us apart”

    You mean we’re made in “His image”? (Genesis 1:26)

    You mean we don’t need to work our way into Heaven?!!!

    Yet the “Peace be upon him” idiot claimed God wants us died. Which is it?

    Who is telling the truth, God or “The Prophet”?

    Just another example of “The Prophet” and his ignorant followers listening to the father of lies. Death, Destruction, Darkness & Loss.

    Outside of St. Louis Mo there is a public shooting range–Jay Henges– where Muslims in religious garb were seen firing AR weapons. They violated the rules, namely 2 people firing at once from a stall and rapid-firing a weapon. All very chilling. They were warned twice, but not asked to leave.

    Other shooters said they were afraid to make videos or get their car tag numbers. I may have been afraid also, in fact were I to tell the state or request to see security footage you can bet I’d be the one one investigated.

    “Abdulazeez was reportedly spotted with three other men who were wearing long beards like Abdulazeez. All four were reportedly practice shooting.”

    As Rudi Giuliani stated, “The lone-wolf has now become a pack of wolves . . .”

    Every mosque is a — recruitment center.

    Complicit enablers are just as guilty as the shooter.
    Smug NPR reporters immediately reward Muslims with butt kissing appeasement every time there is an attack.

    Being a lifelong shooter, I don’t hold with Muslim terrs practicing at any range I frequent. That said, however, all of this sounds like it’s in the realm of hearsay and rumor. And it should be remembered that the ProgMob is already trying to change the subject as regards the threat — from the Muslim populations they are importing to our right to keep and bear arms.

    • Budvarakbar says

      Jul 19, 2015 at 8:58 pm

      So where do you think they may have gone for practice shooting? Seems like there is no hindrance at these ranges!

    Target acquisition,
    Draw and present,
    Instinct alignment,
    Sight alignment,
    Double-tap,
    Combat loading,
    Tactical loading,
    Rapidly clear malfunctions,
    Holster and engage with primary,
    Sling and engage with secondary;
    These are the practices of American gunfighters in uniform and out. These same practices will also one one ejected and banned from gun ranges and clubs despite the possession of appropriate credentials. It is a liability and insurance issue.

    I am all for letting muslims go to the gun range and go target shooting. Let them enjoy the second ammendment. Show them that YOU are exercising YOUR second ammendment rights. They will learn nothing more than sight alignment and breath control and trigger discipline, which is not nearly enough to be successful against an opponent who possess the necessary skills as listed above. Take our Tennessee jihadi for instance. He was good at gunning down unarmed people but fell rapidly to armed men with skills.

    Stay sharp folks.

        By your logic and math skills we could also say Black Community 0, White Supremacist 9. Murder is Murder, and it is all disgusting. When it comes to checking IDs at shooting ranges as a reaction to a shooting spree, who do you think this administration will target first?

    I just now watched Steven Pomerantz (Former Head Of FBI’s Counterterrorism Unit) interviewed on what Mark Levin calls “our favorite” news channel (Fox). Fox interviewer said to Pomerantz, (Muslims) “going out doing target practice at a shooting range, there is nothing wrong with that.” Pomerantz: “No. there isn’t anything wrong about that.”

    Any Muslim buying a gun or is practice shooting at a gun range, should be reported to the police, that is no-brainer. There is only one reason for a Muslim to own a gun: to kill infidels.
