Governors Order Arming of Military Members in U.S. Following Chattanooga Tragedy

Aimee Herd : Jul 20, 2015  NBCNews.com

"It is painful enough when we lose members of our armed forces when they are sent in harm's way, but it is unfathomable that they should be vulnerable for attack in our own communities." -Gov. Mary Fallin

In the wake of the tragic shooting last week at military recruitment facilities in Chattanooga, several governors are taking matters into their own hands, authorizing military personnel to be armed.

According to an NBC News report, the governors of Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, Florida and Indiana have ordered, Friday and Saturday, that full-time National Guard members should be allowed to carry arms in order to "deter attacks and allow the ability to protect themselves and civilians in case they are targeted."

Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin remarked, "It is painful enough when we lose members of our armed forces when they are sent in harm's way, but it is unfathomable that they should be vulnerable for attack in our own communities."

Four Marines died in the initial attack by Mohammad Youssuf Abdulazeez, and a Navy sailor who had been injured in the shooting, died over the weekend.
