Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning showed up to visit the Naval Marine Corps Reserve Center in Chattanooga, Tenn., where four U.S. Marines were killed by a lone gunman last week.

On Saturday night, the former University of Tennessee standout spent time at the facility with military personnel, police officers, first responders and the families of the victims, according to WRCB-TV.

A fifth victim, a Navy sailor, died Saturday from injuries he suffered in the attack. A Chattanooga police officer remains hospitalized from injuries he suffered.

After Manning’s visit, officers posted photos on social media.

The Chattanooga Police posted a photo on Twitter thanking Manning for his efforts to honor the fallen servicemen: “Thank you for stopping by and for your support Peyton Manning.”
