[Perdogg]

D.C. police reportedly are searching for an active shooter at the Washington Navy Yard in Southeast.

[RedMDer]

Witnesses describe shooter as ‘tall black guy’.
Shooter shot toward them. All were inside of a building. Fire alarm was sounding to evacuate the building.

Re: Bald, 6-feet tall, description of perp. No mention of possible ethicity or race.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney has confirmed... "We understand the shooter is a white-black man, like a much darker George Zimmerman."

OMG

An on-scene witness reports that the perp appeared to be ‘dark skinned’.

Washington Post ‏@washingtonpost 13m Police believe they have pinned down 1 shooter between the 3rd and 4th floors http://wapo.st/14ajTYa #navyyardshooting

A black man and a white woman (two witnesses) were just on Fox. She was scared to say the shooter was black. She hesitantly said he looked dark skinned. The black guy said “Yes” very assertively and confirmed the guy is black. The Zimmerman case has put the fear into whites and “white hispanics” (lol!) to tell the truth. Sad, ha?

Will be interesting to watch media spin now spin towards a black dude instead of dark skinned of ME descent. They did same thing during Boston Bombing incident, when they finally knew it was not a ‘white tea party’ perp.

ME Muslim PC protections trump all.

Doocey: Hazmat truck just arrived. Police are on loud speaker telling those inside to shelter in place.

Rain starting; could impact things.

Strange we are not hearing people calling out on their cell phone.3,000 people are in there and I only heard 25 people come out.

“Just what I thought.They will change that for sure.”

The Terrs were probably pissed that all their lone wolf actions were being brushed off as “not terrorism.” This is AQ’s way of saying “can you hear me NOW?”

Further breaking news as White House Spokesman Jay Carney released... a composite photo-shopped image of the suspected shooter as shown here:

"Yes, we are almost sure it has to be a Tea Party member... offered Carney before going back to "No comment." on it being workplace violence.

News person says they suspect 2 shooters. Hospitals at 2 different locations report 2 different kinds of bullets in victims.

One shooter is still inside and is not in custody.

[PLMerite]

I can absolutely confirm that in breaking situations first reports are always wrong. One of the most common errors is the number of shooters.
