WASHINGTON (AP) — D.C. police and the FBI say there's a report of a shooter inside a military building at the Washington Navy Yard.

Police are responding to reports of shots fired, and an FBI spokeswoman says there's at least one victim.

FYI, watching Bolling Joint Base ‏@jointbase 18m entrance gates closed and personnel on the base sheltering in place, according to the JBAB Commander, Navy Capt. Anthony T. Calandra.//END

Not yet confirmed. Hazmat called to Children’s Hospital. Not sure why. Holding. Special ops went to landline phones.....

[SE Mom]

Per tweet from Bolling- no shooting there.

She will be fine, but you have to tell her Mom...you do know that..right?

Well, I told my wife, and she said that our Son-in-Law already told her. ;-)

S-I-L is glued to the TV.

Washington Post ‏@washingtonpost 13m D.C. police: Reports are false. There was no shooting at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Air Force Base. http://wapo.st/164S2vU

FYI, in case anyone’s wondering: I suspect that the reason why ambulances from outside the district (including my daughter’s) were called in is because DC’s ambulances are breaking down and falling apart.

Hospital told to stand by for more victims still in Navy yard. This is in addition to the three flown into the facility by helicopter a while ago.

The three are seriously injured but are talking and lucid. They said it was certainly an automatic weapon due to the rapidity of the shots.

Is it “jihad” or “justice for Travon” or both?

[penelopesire]

Good deal. That is a good son in law. I am keeping your daughter in my prayers. Try not to worry. I know it is hard, but they usually protect the first responders pretty good.

[GeronL]

but ABC7 did get the 8 dead right?

> Besides the obvious action of shooting personnel, what else could be a target in a Navy yard?

The various pointless mandatory online training exercises.

Diversity day.

GLBT Celebration month.

The massive 50 MB of expensive email storage that comes with the network.

The inability to buy a mouse or keyboard without going through fifteen layers of approval.

Inept web/Sharepoint hosting.

Hundreds of thousands of $$$ p*ssed away.

The internal report was sent out to law enforcement officials at 9:22 a.m. by the Intelligence Watch and Warning cell inside the National Operations Center (NOC) — a DHS group that operates as the “hub for domestic incident management, operations coordination, and situational awareness.”

Per tweet from Bolling- no shooting there.

I have this persistent feeling that there was only one shooter....and he's dead.
