As bad as the shootings were in Tennessee, it could have been far worse.
Tennessee gunman tried to work at Perry nuclear power plant cleveland.com
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez, the gunman who is being accused of shooting up a military recruiting station in Chattanooga before killing four Marines and wounding a police officer Thursday, was a conditional employee of the Perry nuclear power plant in Northeast Ohio during 2013.
Abdulazeez worked for the power plant from May 20 to May 30, 2013, but failed FirstEnergy's screening process, said spokeswoman Jennifer Young.
"He failed to meet our minimum requirements for employment," she said, adding that she could not elaborate. "In the 10 days during the screening process, he was classified as a conditional employee."
Abdulazeez and other applicants attended general-training classes at the plant's administration building while FirstEnergy did background checks.
"He was never inside the plant. He did not have any company documents. He was received like any member of the public," Young said.
Some of Perry's employees watching television coverage of Thursday's shooting events recognized Abdulazeez and told Perry managers, who on Friday informed the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
