Sailor injured in Tennessee shooting dies

A sailor who was shot in the attack on a military facility in Chattanooga, Tenn., has died, raising the death toll to five people.

The death occurred two days after a gunman killed four Marines during a shooting rampage on two military facilities.

The Navy did not release the sailor’s name. He was identified by family as Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Randall Smith, a reservist serving on active duty in Chattanooga.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
