In addition to the four Marines, one unnamed Marine recruiter and Chattanooga Police officer, Dennis Pedigo, were injured. Pedigo was in stable condition Thursday but the recruiter was reportedly fighting for his or her life.

Despite the tragedy, Greenstreet said the resolve of the Marine Corps to maintain a presence in communities "has not changed."

"Our reserve centers will remain open, and continue with the mission of augmenting and reinforcing the active component Marine Corps with trained units and individual Marines," he said.
