Tennessee Mayor Confirms One Officer Shot At Military Center

The FBI and the ATF are sending officials to the scene in Chattanooga, Tennessee, to investigate.

Local NBC affiliate WRCBTV reported that the incident began at U.S. Naval Recruiting Reserve Center, located on Lee Highway, and ended at the U.S. Naval Reserve Center on Amnicola Highway, about seven miles away.

WRCB also reported that at least one police officer has been shot. It was not immediately clear if anyone else was shot.

Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke was in the middle of an unrelated press conference when the shooting occurred, and is reportedly at the scene of the shooting.

Tennessee Senator Bob Corker has also been in communication with local and state officials.
