WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — On Thursday, Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez, 24, shot and killed four marines at the US Naval Reserve Center and opening fire at a military recruiting office nearby. A fifth serviceman died from his wounds on Saturday.
The new precautions require increasing surveillance at hundreds of recruiting centers, reserve centers and Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) facilities.
Admiral Gortney stated the measures aim to “increase and sustain security” and “increase vigilance and safeguarding of personnel” at the military sites.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has investigated the attack as an act of domestic terrorism, but said it has found no links between the gunman and the Islamic State.
