Gunman opens fire at Navy Yard in Washington, killing at least 4

By Jim Miklaszewski, Pete Williams, Richard Esposito and Erin McClam, NBC News

A man brandishing an assault rifle, shotgun and handgun opened fire Monday inside a building at the Washington Navy Yard — killing at least four people and wounding at least seven more, including two police officers, authorities said.

SWAT officers swarmed the building, the headquarters of the Naval Sea Systems Command, and a shooter there was killed, sources told NBC News. More than two hours after the first gunfire, there were reports that tactical teams were entering a second building at the Navy Yard.

The Washington police chief said there could be as many as two other shooters at large. She said officers were on the lookout for two men, one white and one black, both in military-style uniforms.

I agree the anti-gun folks will stand on the bodies of the dead, as they so often do, and shout for more laws that would not have stopped this (or any mass shooting). Pretty sick of them.

Estimates are now up to 6 dead, 10 wounded.

I saw that 12 were killed in building 197 and that the gunman was also killed (a WHITE looking man in military-looking camo) who was using a SEMI-auto firearm. The other two suspects are a mid-40 to 50 year old in olive gear and another man. I didn't see or know any of this till I sat down for lunch and as terrible as it is....I detest what seems to now be a shout from the left (EVEN FOX) that we nee to ban FULL auto and SEMI-auto firearms by the way they continually mentioned the type of gun used (when they really don't know what type gun). What those of us know is that there is no such thing as "security".....especially when the general public is disarmed. I heard that security was very tight there and that cell phones were even banned in all or most of the Naval yard. Just terrible. One victim was a 60 year old who was probably about to retire soon.....so sad.

Six are critically injured and three (including a cop) are in surgery right now and it looks extremely serious for those three especially. Prayer is needed for those families and our Nation. I truly believe that Jim's assessment is spot on in that it may very well be a FORT HOOD (Pt II). I've warned my family (and this is NOT a racial statement) but I've told them to watch those who look a bit odd even more closely when those odd looking groups have a mixed ethnic group or duo. They are either cops or up to no good. I hope we learn more about all of this without the media continuing their "play" on what may or may not be the case. Perhaps DC needs a door to door confiscation of firearms and invasion of privacy to catch the other suspects AND/OR to prevent other DC citizens from committing the same evil that these (possibly) three have committed.

The Wasington ball team is still having the game go on (despite a serious man hunt going on). I guess we're showing them that this is business as usual and not going to let a terrorist act change the way we live our lives (as when Bush had us continue to buy, sell and trade) after 9/11. Very strange but I suppose I respect the determination to carry on. What I don't respect is that nobody has called this a terrorist act. It was a terrible act and it did cause massive terror. DUH!!! I may be wrong but I BET these 3 possible suspects are muSLUMs. Fort Hood PT II (if you will) and as Jim so brilliantly phrased it. The "WHITE" guy is probably the white-looking type who bombed Boston recently. They already knew that there were more like those brothers out there but they decided to keep on playing around and THIS is what we get. There's a guy being interviewed right now on FOX saying that it was illegal to have firearms on the base....perhaps the @$$HOLE who made that rule should have told those terrorists that. And, again, why not label it as a terrorist attack.....they were obviously targeting anyone and everyone!!!! They did cause terror....what bull this all is?!

Aaron Alexis from Texas (34) has been identified as the shooter (one of the shooters). I may have been very wrong in my assumption and now hope that this wasn't one of our own.....

And who would be "one of our own"?

[Little-Acorn]

The count of 12 victims dead, plus one shooter dead, hasn't changed in a while. Now they seem to be saying there are three more wounded, they are expected to recover. No more gunmen found, but they're still looking.

Apparently "internal security (that would be Navy, maybe Shore Patrol?) engaged the shooter first. Then police showed up and a gun battle ensured, in which a police officer was wounded and the shooter (Aaron Alexis) was killed.

(snip)

Washington Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy Lanier said one shooter was killed in an exchange of gunfire with authorities and one police officer was wounded. Federal officials identified the dead shooter as Alexis.

Internal security at the Navy Yard building had already "identified and engaged the shooter" by the time the first D.C. police arrived, Lanier said.

She said police exchanged gunfire with the shooter "multiple times" before the final gun battle.

One shooter was a black Buddhist who recently resigned from the Navy. I am guessing you can all find something to hate about that.
