Glad they shot him dead. No need for an idiotic show trial.

How could he have both a criminal record and a concealed carry permit?

[Marcella]

Aaron Alexis, the shooter, is from Fort Worth and guy said he lived not far from the military air base there. That is close to you - did Alexis live in your neighborhood??? :o)

[Zeneta]

Im betting hes a muslim convert. but we may not know that for several hours

Agree

I would also suggest he was motivated by the Presidents original position (Military strike) on Syria.

[Pan_Yan]

I would bet that the AR15 will not be confirmed.

Guns disappear.
Surveillance video disappears.
Witnesses disappear.

That's the world we live in now and it's not going back.

What was it that took him from Ft. Worth to the DC area in 3 years (and possibly in violation of his court agreement in FW)?

[livius]

It’s thought that he had a New York connection.

Someone needs to post that article about how trolls on Facebook can spoof their pages.

[JRandomFreeper]

No, wrong side of the lake.

They had stolen ID’s so you can bet those people are dead too. Probably got the guns from them. Multiple shooters doesn’t sound like “Work Place Violence” either. Especially on what is sure to be a one way trip.

According to Katherine Herridge, the shooter had connections to New York so it could be him

Workplace violence. Nothing to see here. Move along.

[RitaOK]

It’ clear now, it’s all TEXAS’s fault.
And, “you-know-who” lives there.

[Dysart]

I haven’t been able to follow this closely. Was Alexis fired from his Navy contracting gig? Anyone? Thanks.

[a fool in paradise]

Maybe he was calling out for directions to the nearest Al Lack Bar.

[Blueflag]

Yeah I saw that too.

Um, no ...

[glock rocks]

I read on a different thread he was arrested, DA declined to prosecute. Shot a hole through his ceiling into the upstairs apartment, said it was an accident while cleaning.

Thank you
