Last words from slain Marine to girlfriend: ‘ACTIVE SHOOTER’

They were four people charged with the safety of others, gunned down in a place where the nation’s defense is the paramount mission for those who pass through its doors. They are being deemed heroes by some, and the cruel irony of protectors becoming targets was not lost, with President Barack Obama calling it “a heartbreaking circumstance” to lose four men who served “with great valor.”

Here is a look at the Marines killed in the attack on two military facilities in Chattanooga, Tennessee:

SKIP WELLS

Lance Cpl. Squire Wells, who was known as Skip, was swapping text messages Thursday with his girlfriend of 2 ½ years, excited that she had booked a flight to visit him in Chattanooga after months apart.

“Can’t wait anymore,” Wells texted. “Yes you can honey,” his girlfriend, Caroline Dove, replied.

His next two words would be the last she’d ever hear from him.

“ACTIVE SHOOTER,” he wrote.

She thought he was kidding: “You are so weird,” she replied.

Hours of silence. “I love you,” she tried. Hours more passed, the news out of Chattanooga becoming clearer. “Hon, I need you to answer me please,” she wrote.

It would not be until Friday that she learned his fate.

Goddamn it, this hurts my soul.

Rest easy Marine, your watch is over.

Omg

RIP Brother

But according to Obama, this wasn’t a terrorist attack….

A terrorist literally attacked our troops on our soil. But it’s not classified as such according to our faithful president.
