Four US Marines have been killed after shootings at two US Navy buildings in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
The local district lawyer said the two incidents were being investigated as an "act of domestic terrorism".
Chattanooga city police said it was the same gunman at both locations and confirmed he had been killed.
The gunman was identified as 24-year-old Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez by an unnamed official, according to the AP news agency.
He is believed to have been born in Kuwait, but it is unclear whether he was a US or Kuwaiti citizen.
A spokesman for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga said a student with the same named graduated in 2012 with a degree in engineering, according to local media reports.
Armed police raided the house where he lived, a few miles outside Chattanooga in Hixson, after the shootings and an AP reporter said two women were led away in handcuffs.
