Gunnery Sgt. Camden Meyer, 35, knew three of the victims, including Staff Sgt. David Wyatt, who has been credited with helping several service members escape.

CHATTANOOGA - The FBI revealed Wednesday that at least one Marine fired at the Chattanooga shooter last Thursday to try to stop the rampage that left five service members dead at a training facility. The gunman -- Muhammod Abdulazeez -- had earlier wounded a Marine at a nearby recruiting center.

Lance Cpl. Christopher Gilliam, 25, was working inside the recruitment center when he spotted Abdulazeez out of a window. Gilliam said he alerted others, moments before Abdulazeez opened fire. Gilliam and four Marines -- Staff Sgt. Robert Driver, Sgt. Winfield Thompson, Gunnery Sgt. Camden Meyer, and Sgt. DeMonte Cheeley -- fled out the back of the building. read more here
