Chattanooga gunman reportedly blogged about Islam, showed increased signs of devotion | Fox News: "The New York Times reported that recent family photographs posted on Facebook showed Abdulazeez with a newly grown beard. Dr. Azhar Sheikh, a founding member of the Islamic Society of Greater Chattanooga, told the paper that Abdulazeez had also begun attending Friday prayers regularly over the past two to three months. Sheikh said the Abdulazeez family had attended services in Abdulazeez's younger days, but he had stopped doing so, and Sheikh assumed that he had moved away.

According to the Times, Abdulazeez was born in Kuwait to a family of Jordanians. A federal official told the paper that Abdulazeez had become a naturalized American citizen, though it is not clear when. Abdulazeez grew up in a middle-class suburban subdivision just across the Tennessee River from Chattanooga itself. The Chattanooga Times Free Press, citing county property records, reported that Youssuf Abdulazeez, the family patriarch, had owned the house since 2001. It was not clear whether the family had lived elsewhere in the U.S. before arriving in Chattanooga."
