Oh no! I hope they get him before he hurts anyone else, and I hope we all refrain from speculation until more info is available. My thoughts are with the victims and their families.

CNN is covering it. We just turned it on.....
I had many relatives who served in the Navy......plus friends, etc.

I was a crew member of the USS Barry which is docked there.

As of 1 p.m. Fox is saying there may be two additional shooters out there.
One was a white male in khaki uniform with beret hat last seen at 8:35 a.m. with a handgun.......second shooter approx. 50 years of age, carrying long gun in an olive drab military uniform. Third shooter is "down" whatever that means. So, two shooters are missing. One is either dead or injured?

It seems like some kind of coordinated attack.
Doesn't seem like a workplace shooting by a disgruntled employee.

Confusing situation. We've switched between Fox and CNN.

Fox actually just had a commercial re THE VILLAGES.......never have seen that before.

Given the security in that building, it could conceivably be an "inside attack".....by someone who had access to the Navy Yard.

Sad news. Does not seem to be any practical way of stopping these kind of mass shootings.

You are welcome. The Berlin link did not work. You have to translate it into English anyway. These translator programs sure have come a long way. I like to look how other countries are handling US news. This is a good doorway into these newspapers-- http://www.mondotimes.com/

At least 12 killed in shooting rampage at Washington Navy Yard, chief says - U.S. News

Unfortunately, it gets worse.....at least 12 killed in shooting rampage in Washington

Latest one shooter dead, one still looking for. Employees leaving the building, the nine schools on-lock down are open and parents picking up their children.
Will be hard for them to get home, especially if their car keys are behind the yellow tape.

One on CH 4 lives in Fredericksburg, so long trip home. Main roads closed and others filled with reporters.
