Just before 8:30 am EST Monday, a gunman or gunmen shot several victims injuring some and killing others at the Washington Navy Yard in the southeast section of D. C. The latest information identifies four dead and at least eight wounded; however, conflicting reports about the number of fatalities and wounded prevent this blog from reporting exact details yet.
Dr. Janis Orlowski from Medstar Washington Hospital stated that three critically injured victims had arrived at the hospital, including one police officer. She talked with all three and said the nature of their injuries points to the use of a semi-automatic weapon in the attack.
Washington, D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier confirmed that one shooter who had barricaded himself in an office in the Naval Sea Systems Command headquarter building was killed and police are searching for two other possible suspects, one a white male possibly wearing navy fatigues and the other a black male around 50.
No one has yet explained how the perpetrator(s) could gain access to such a secure building.
