Terrible. I think we have FBGs that "work" in that area.

 

[PitbullTD]

Just waking up to this....

 

[(HULK)]

Multiple injuries reported so far, no deaths thus far... dude is still lose in the building apparently.

 

[PitbullTD]

Apparently there may be another incident a block or so away for the yard? Not sure if related or not...confusing info from CNN

 

[dgreen]

Washington Post saying 10 people wounded.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Saw on twitter 12 shot and 4 dead?

 

[JMon348]

"Tall black male" is first description of shooter.

ETA: Rumors of maybe 3 shooters now.

 

[pantagrapher]

Unconfirmed reports on twitter of multiple shooters.

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

Police scanner confirms there is a second suspect. They are doing second sweep of building 197, second suspect is not in custody.

 

[timschochet]

A lot of times when these stories come out, there are initially reports of multiple shooters. But usually it turns out to be only one. Let's hope that's the case.

Yes, that's what the Washington Post is reporting, saying that info came from the police.

Earlier, they were saying 3 shooters, now they say 2.

There's always another shooter and another incident....until there isn't.

Another Major Hassan?

Another Major Hassan?

It would be irresponsible not to speculate.

Seems fairly minor at this point.

Seems fairly minor at this point.

Navy spokesman reported 4 dead. Is that really minor?

Navy spokesman reported 4 dead. Is that really minor?

Having to set up a traige at Nationals stadium is minor?

I guess I'm just numb to these. 4 seems like nothing compared to most of these things.

A meeting place for familes isn't really a triage. I would hope hospitals could handle 10ish trauma patients.

Shots fired at Bolling AFB now?

That's more dead than the Boston Marathon bombings (obviously many less injuries).

"Tall black male" is first description of shooter.

ETA: Rumors of maybe 3 shooters now.

Gonna guess hes a Muslim

I'm hoping his Catholic.

 

[pantagrapher]

AR-15

Seems to be the popular choice among these characters.

Shots fired at Bolling AFB now?

@washingtonpost : D.C. police: Reports are false. There was no shooting at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Air Force Base. http://t.co/cE0iOdrWXT 3 minutes ago

Funny how this happens every time.

More dead, if true, than the Boston incident, which nearly paralyzed the nation...

 

[Don Quixote]

Seeing reports that disgruntled employee (or former employee).

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Associated Press says 6 are dead now.

[gump]

Shooter dead?

 

[JamesonSkittles]

2 shooters....1 is dead. shooters killed 6 people

 

[Johnny Bing]

Two witnesses told CNN affiliate WJLA that they heard a fire alarm go off in the building where they worked, then saw a man with a rifle down the hallway as they exited the building.

"He aimed the gun and fired our way," a man who identified himself as Todd Brundidge told WJLA, adding, "I couldn't believe it."

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Current news reports still say possibly looking for two other shooters.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Authorities say they are looking for two additional potential shooters in the shooting rampage at the Washington Navy Yard. D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier says witnesses reported seeing two additional gunmen, both dressed in military-style clothing.

I blame mental health and improper training.

 

[timschochet]

I'd be amazed if there were two shooters. I know it happened at Columbine, but it just seems so unlikely. Hard to believe two people would share in this sort of evil craziness.

I find this stuff fascinating to listen to, but always wonder why these frequencies are not encoded so the public can't here.

I'm flying in tomorrow to DC. My wife is all nervous now about me going.

Two people just recently shared in the craziness of blowing people up at the Boston Marathon; and, still in the minds of DC area residents, two people shared in the craziness of sniping random strangers.

Sequestration? Lack of Raises for 3 years? Missed job promotion? No more booty on TDY?

That was a terrorist event though (Boston).
