This is total Bullshit:

CHATTANOOGA, TN — When a deranged killer crashed a vehicle into a military reserve center and began shooting, a Naval officer drew a personal handgun and helped stop the attack. Now it is being reported that the officer, regarded as a hero to many, will be facing federal charges because he discharged a weapon on federal property.

On the morning of July 16th, 2015, Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez, a 24-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen from Kuwait, went on a bloody shooting-spree at two federal offices. First, he shot up the military recruiting center on Old Lee Highway in Chattanooga, and then sped 7-miles away to perform a second attack on the U.S. Naval and Marine Reserve Center on Amnicola Highway.
At the second location, Abdulazeez crashed his rented Ford Mustang through a gate and began shooting outside the U.S. Naval and Marine Reserve Center, indiscriminately firing at any target he saw. Although the building contained dozens of trained U.S. servicemen, Department of Defense regulations require them to be disarmed on federal property. Abdulazeez held the upper hand and murdered several unarmed marines, and continued his attack for several minutes until a secretly-armed Naval officer engaged him in a firefight, along with responding Chattanooga police officers.
When the smoke had cleared, Abdulazeez was killed, along with four U.S. servicemen; a fifth succumbed to his wounds in a hospital.
The attack rocked the nation and led to a call for ending the nonsensical weapons prohibition on military bases. The Pentagon promptly refused to change its rule.
A “firearms are prohibited” sign hangs ironically at the site of a mass murder in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on July 16, 2015.
Despite the prohibition on carrying personal weapons on base, at least two servicemen apparently broke that rule, risking consequences but ultimately saving innocent lives by hindering the efforts of the active shooter. Those men included Naval Officer Lt. Commander Timothy White, as well as a U.S. marine.
