At least 12 killed in Washington Navy Yard shooting


My Comment:  My heart and prayers go out to the families of these victims this was a horrible, horrible tragedy.  But let’s not compound things with statements like ‘no motive established.’  This was the home of the NSA, do they really  want us to  think they didn’t have a file on this guy?  I read today that there have been 16 mass killings since Obama took office. We will never know the truth.

Police work the scene on M Street, SE in Washington, where a gunman was reported at the Washington Navy Yard in Washington, on Monday, Sept. 16, 2013.

Aaron Alexis has been identified as a shooter, and police searched for a second possible attacker who may have been disguised in a military-style uniform.

WASHINGTON — A former Navy man launched an attack Monday morning inside a building at the Washington Navy Yard, spraying gunfire on office workers in the cafeteria and in the hallway at the heavily secured installation, authorities said. Thirteen people were killed, including the gunman.

Authorities said they were looking for a second possible attacker who may have been disguised in a military-style uniform.

Investigators said they had not established a motive for the shooting rampage, which unfolded in the heart of the nation’s capital, less than four miles from the White House.

As for whether it may have been a terrorist attack, Mayor Vincent Gray said: “We don’t have any reason to think that at this stage.” But he said the possibility had not been ruled out.

    US Senate bldg shut down. Navy Yard death toll rises to 12. Dead gunman identified
    The US Senate building was shut down as the FB I took over the investigation of the shooting rampage which left 12 people dead and many injured at the Navy Yard, Washington, Monday, Sept. 16. The gunman who was killed by police was identified as Aaron Alexis, 34, from Forth Worth Texas, who recently began work as a civilian contractor. There is no known motive for the attack, according to Washington police chief Cathy Lancer.
    Of the two wanted shooters on the run one was cleared. As the third is hunted, parts of Washington went into lockdown and partial curfew. Employees were allowed to leave the Navy building. The “potential” shooter on the loose was described earlier as a black male, 40-50, wearing drab military style uniform and carrying a long gun.
    This command center focused in recent weeks on planning fleet preparations in the east Mediterranean for a US cruise missile strike on the Syrian chemical weapons that was later called off.
    Two days ago, Al Qaeda leader Ayman Zawahiri issued a videotaped call for an adherent to carry out a “lone wolf attack” inside the United States.
