Police say 2 shooters have killed 4, injured 8 on grounds of Washington Navy Yard

Police now believe two shooters, including one in fatigues, have killed four people and wounded eight others at the Washington Navy Yard on Monday, throwing the region into fear and chaos during the morning commute.

At least one of the shooters is “down,” police said mid-morning, but it was unclear whether that means the suspect has been arrested or shot. They said the other suspect remains at large, and police believe they have pinned down one between the third and fourth floors of one of the buildings on the installation in Southeast Washington.

Police on the scene said at least eight civilians were shot, along with the two police officers. One is a D.C. Metro Police officer who was shot twice in the leg and was evacuated on a helicopter that took off from a rooftop, police said. The other officer worked at the base. Except for the officer who was taken away by helicopter, all the other injured were being treated on the ground, police said.

Ed Buclatin, that public affairs chief for the Navy Installations Command tweeted “four killed and eight injured” at the Navy Yard.

A Navy Yard employee reached by telephone shortly before 10 a.m. said employees are still being told to shelter in place. She did not hear the shots, but described sirens, SWAT teams, Marines and a helicopter responding.

The U.S. Navy said that three shots were fired around 8:20 a.m. at the Naval Sea Systems Command Headquarters building, where about 3,000 people work.

In a number of tweets from the base, employees expressed their fright. One tweet said people were stuck on the fourth floor of the headquarters building, while the shooter was firing from the third floor. Others wrote of being incredulous that a shooter could get inside the building. Lots more...well, anywhere you want to look, but this is from http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/police-search-for-active-shooter-o

Authorities are seeking two other people as "possible" gunmen, Metropolitan Police Department Chief Cathy Lanier said at an afternoon press conference. One was a white male between 40 and 50 years old, wearing a tan military-type uniform consistent with a Navy uniform, a beret hat and a handgun holster, Williams reported, who noted that many people are authorized to carry firearms at Navy Yard and that there is no hard evidence there is a second or a third shooter. He was last seen on surveillance about 8:30 a.m., Williams reported.

Lanier also said police were seeking a black man, between 40 and 50 years old, who was wearing olive drab and was armed with a "long gun," though she did not give any other details about the weapon. He was about 5-feet-10-inches tall and 180 pounds with medium complexion and graying sideburns.

Hey La Pierre - stick that up your NRA-hole.

No AR 15 used in shooting . There was no AR 15, at all. He did what VP Biden told us to do..." Buy a shot gun".

Responsible gun owners, who are also NRA members, have stated that they support background checks for anyone buying a gun. This could have been prevented.

Morgan Fairchild, whom I've seen naked. Yeah, that's the ticket!


But seriously, I wonder what the voices in his head sounded like. Anyone ever hear voices like that ? If so, do tell.
