Peyton Manning visited the Naval Marine Corp base in Chattanooga, Tennessee on Saturday to pay respects to the five US Marines who were shot dead by a lone gunman last week.
The gunman, Mohammad Abdulazeez, a 24-year-old Kuwait-born man, was reportedly neck deep in debt and addicted to sleeping pills, painkillers, opioids, marijuana and alcohol at the time of the attack. He was shot dead by police at the scene.
Manning has strong ties to the state of Tennessee, as he played college ball at the University of Tennessee, married his wife in Memphis in 2001, and is part owner of the Memphis Grizzlies.
Below, Manning is featured with a Marine Corp Reserve base officer near Amnicola Highway in Chattanooga. The Chattanooga Police Department shared captioned the picture with: ‘Thank you for stopping by and for your support Peyton Manning.’
