12 Dead in Washing DC Navy Yard Shooting

WASHINGTON — Federal officials have identified a 34-year-old man from Fort Worth, Texas, as the shooter responsible for killing 11 people at the Washington Navy Yard on Monday.

The shooter, who was killed by police during a gun battle some two hours after the initial shootings, was a government civilian contractor new to the Washington, D.C., area, said a law enforcement official speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the investigation.

At least 12 people, including a shooter, have been confirmed dead in the rampage at the Washington Navy Yard, District of Columbia Mayor Vincent Gray said Monday. Officials continue to search for two “potential” additional suspects in the case, D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier said, although other officials say the evidence indicates only one gunman was involved.

Officials said they still do not know a motive for the shooting but that they do “not have any evidence to think” that it was related to terrorism.

"We potentially have two other shooters that we have not located,” Lanier said in a brief news conference outside the gates to the sprawling base.

Lanier confirmed that one shooter had been killed, but said that police were still searching for a white male last seen about 8:35 Monday morning wearing khaki military-style clothes and a beret and carrying a handgun, and a black male about 50 years old, wearing a military-style olive, drab uniform who may have been carrying a rifle.

Lanier said though the men were wearing military-style clothes, they may not actually be members of the military. The investigation is still “very active,” she added, asking residents to stay out of the area and in their homes while police search the area.

Gray called the shooting a “horrific tragedy.”

“As far as we know, this is an isolated incident,” Gray added, saying that no other military installations appeared to have been involved.

President Obama, speaking at the White House, praised the victims as “patriots” who “know the dangers of serving abroad” but faced “unimaginable violence they wouldn’t have expected at home.” He promised that federal and local law enforcement officials would work together to investigate the shooting.

The number of casualties remained uncertain. Lanier confirmed "multiple victims inside who are deceased." Other officials said that at least four victims had been killed and at least eight were wounded in the shooting.

Dr. Janis Orlowski, chief operating officer at MedStar Washington Hospital Center, reported three shooting victims at the hospital but added that they expected to admit more victims.

"From the reports of the victims, it had to be a semiautomatic," she said. "They’re talking about gun shots that they heard in rapid succession."

One woman admitted to the hospital had a gunshot wound to the head and her hand, Orlowski said. Another woman had a wound to her shoulder, Orlowski said, and a male D.C. police officer had multiple gunshot wounds to his legs.

The three are in critical condition, she said, but described their chances for survival as good.

The incident began at roughly 8:15 a.m. at the headquarters of the Naval Sea Systems Command at the sprawling naval base on Washington’s Anacostia River waterfront. Several witnesses told reporters that the shooting broke out on the fourth floor of the building and that the gunman shot down into the building’s open atrium.

"I think it was all on the fourth floor," Patricia Ward, one of the witnesses, told reporters.

Ward, a logistics management specialist, was in building 197 when the shooting started. She said she was in the lobby using the ATM machine when she heard three shots. She said she started "panicking." She said she didn’t know what was going on. Then she heard four more shots. A security guard with a gun drawn told them to run, she said. "I just ran. I thought of my family and I just ran." Someone had pulled the fire alarm.

Ward said that to get into the building, a person has to scan an ID card. She said that may be how the shooters got weapons in.

Roughly two hours later, witnesses at the base reported hearing more shots fired. A senior law enforcement official said a gunman, who had been barricaded in a room in the headquarters building, had been shot and killed. The shooter had engaged police in a running firefight, a senior law enforcement official said.

A federal law enforcement official monitoring the situation said the conflicting reports of more than one gunman are coming from a situation where a “second building” is being checked for reports of shots fired. The official said most of the shooting occurred at the Sea Systems Command building, and that tactical SWAT squads were now canvassing the second building.

“We won’t know what we have until we clear that other building,” said the source, who asked not to be identified because of the fluid situation.

Officials have ramped up security in all federal buildings in the Washington area. As a precaution, U.S. Capitol Police have added personnel and increased security measures in the Capitol Building.

As helicopters hovered above the base, first lowering stretchers to airlift victims to local hospitals and later circling the base in an apparent search effort, air traffic was briefly grounded at the nearby Reagan National Airport. Several area schools were put on lockdown.

A D.C. police officer and a base security officer were among the reported victims.

About 3,000 people, both civilian and military, work at the Naval Sea Systems Command Headquarters.

Navy Capt. Danny Hernandez said he was in an adjoining Navy Yard building when the shooting started.

“Everybody rushed in” to the building where he was, and security guards locked down the facility. “It was pretty orderly,” he said.

Hernandez said in a cellphone conversation that the lockdown was still in effect.

[For the Record, 10:14 a.m. PDT Sept. 16: An earlier version of this post quoted Patricia Ward as saying metal detectors were in place at building 197. There are not.]

Was Aaron brainwashed, or under some kind of mind control?

Alexis was previously arrested on May 6, 2004, in Seattle for shooting out the tires of another man's vehicle in what he later described as "an anger-fueled 'blackout,'" according to the Seattle Police Department. He told police he could not remember firing his gun at the man's car until an hour after the incident.

Was he even responsible for his own actions? Who gave him the weapon, and provided the ID, and made sure he wouldn't be available to answer any police questioning this time?

They always report multiple shooters. Always. It's just good business as it keeps people glued to their seats instead of saying "oh, they shot the faggot and now everything's fine. Back to raping the child I have tied to the basement radiator."

And if this is a false flag, it's a fucking stupid one. Liberal Obama-loving Prius-driving upper-middle-class black man goes on a rampage with a shot gun he bought rather than one of the supposedly "easy to access" AR-15000 Man-killing Death-Spitters that are apparently dispensed like lollipops (except he had to hold X to swap weapon so he could pick one up).

Doctors prescribe antispychotics that don't fuckin work! They have no idea the chemicals they're messin with! I used to be a governor! I was a Navy Seal! People aren't smart enough to just stop paying for antidepressants that don't work so they don't care and keep paying for it anyways! These doctors and scientists who invented, tested, and studied these drugs have no idea what they're talking about!

The government can use antipsychotics and anti-depressants to make you coordinate complex massacres like a remote-control toy soldier! They can time it down to the day and minute and control your targets so completely that they show up right as you finish to shoot you and cover it up! I know about this! I used to be a governor! I was a Navy Seal! These chemicals are dangerous and bureaucrats know all about them and how to use them and know everything about them!

MK Ultra is more about brainwashing you with propaganda to get you to do a particular thing, like assassination. Mind control with machines is difficult because the tech simply doesn't exist yet. Nor is there any reason to develop such tech given direct mind control is possible with a skilled enough magician.
