The following is a statement from the Counter Extremism Project:

“The Counter Extremism Project (CEP) condemns today’s brutal act of domestic terror that claimed the lives of four brave U.S. Marines and wounded three others at a Navy and Marine Corps Reserve Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Our courageous service men and women sacrifice so willingly for our freedoms every day and their tragic passing in this way leaves a deep wound in all of our hearts. Our thoughts and deepest prayers go out to their families and friends.”
