Shootings at Washington Navy Yard

Multiple wounded, multiple fatalities are being reported.

On TV--A helicopter just dropped something onto the roof of a building.

10 injured.

They are saying: 4 killed.   Shooter is contained, thank God.

Suspect:  Tall, bald, African American male

I am just guessing that he worked there.

im checking it out now--geeze

OMG, this report says 3 shooters.  Of course, there is a lot of confusing and wrong information going out anytime we see this kind of news. But 3 shooters would be unusual.

We must have ticked off our Al-CIA-da allies and now they are getting some payback...

Possible shots fired at the near by AFB in D.C.

  I left and came back---14 dead-----does anyone know who--why--?

Not yet.

ok thanks

Tragic, nice looking young man turns on fellow workers.

I don't think he was working there.  He had to steal an ID to get inside, from what they are saying on the news.  It's also being reported that he was an active duty navy reservist for a few years in Fort Worth but that he left the reserves a couple of years ago.  And it looks like he wasn't targeting anyone specifically, as a mad ex-employee would do.  

This is all very strange.   I hope, with him being dead, that they figure out what happened with the guy.

My husband was attached to the Fort Worth Joint Reserve base when we lived in Texas.  He says that they do transport type flights out of there.

More coming out now....he was actually discharged from the Navy for misconduct.  He received a General Discharge, which isn't good.

I have a cousin that works in the NAVSEA office in that building.. As soon as the shots were fired, he was on the phone to his family telling them he was OK.. I hope I get more info about it within a few days..

I'm glad your cousin is alright.

Thank you Neko...

Yes... we wouldn't want to miss an opportunity to politicize a tragedy... even tho it happened in the most restrictive place in the usa. In fact... DC has in place nearly every infringement you leftist asshats keep crying for. I wish y'all would just fix crazy... starting with all of you.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_the_District_of_Columbia

The Washington D.C. City Council enacted a set of rules regulating the possession of handguns in citizens' homes. In addition to each firearm being registered with the police, the rules require that D.C. residents undergo a NCIC background check and submit to fingerprinting. The firearms registry photographs the applicant. Residents must take an online gun safety course, and pass a written test on the District's gun laws. Residents must also declare at what address it will be kept. There is a 10 day waiting period from purchase of firearm to possession, and a 30 day waiting period between purchases of firearms. Each firearm is registered to an individual only, meaning couples who wish to own firearms must purchase two separate firearms. An individual may not possess ammunition without also possessing a registration certificate in their name. Handgun registrants must be 21. Long gun registration is allowed for persons 18-21 years of age with a NCIC qualified adult co-registering. Handgun models are limited to any handgun appearing on any one of the California, Massachusetts, Maryland or DC Police "approved roosters."

The District of Columbia does not permit the concealed carrying of firearms. Open carry is also prohibited.

How would it be Obama's fault?  And why mention something about other members here that hasn't even happened?

I was trying to stir the pot.... Something other posters do here quite frequently.  

I'm sure there will be a few blaming it on Bush before the thread ends..
