Three shooters are involved in the Navy Yard shooting, a police spokeswoman said.
One of the shooters is “down,” police said, but two remain in a building on the grounds.
One of the shooters at large is dressed in fatigues. At least one has a long gun, police said.

White House statement on Navy Yard shooting
The White House issued a statement on the Navy Yard shooting Monday morning:
“The President has been briefed several times about the unfolding situation at the Washington Navy Yard by Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Lisa Monaco and Deputy Chief of Staff Alyssa Mastromanaco....

” NAVSEA moved to the navy yard from Crystal City in the 1990’s as part of a plan to reduce leased space. “
Sounds like someone (the classical ‘they’?) just wanted the Navy out of Crystal City ...
” Where in the world do they find these public service morons? So bizarre.. “
We used to have a name for them, ppl who would ‘milk’ a job or EO (an account to be billed) for all that they could, we called them “lifers” (as in, they were going to be there at the company for the rest of the life of the company.) These weren’t the ppl BTW who were doing the innovating or solving problems ...
NAVAIR moved to NATC Patuxent River, MD about that time.
Ready for some irony? He received an anti-terrorism award from the Navy!
“Alexis was assigned to the Fleet Logistics Support Squadron 46 at Naval Air Station Fort Worth in Texas for the bulk of his time in the military, from 2008 until he left the service in 2011, records show. He was awarded the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and the National Defense Service Medal— two common awards for military personnel.”

By 1990 the once very modern Crystal City Complex was an aging monument to modernist architecture. The buildings were a generation old (built from circa 1964 to 1974) and showing signs of wear. Major systems such as HVAC had constant problems and some of the high security areas such a Trident offices had constant problems with false alarms from their old hardwired systems.
The Navy Yard move put NAVSEA into a virtually new structure with all the bells and whistles. The removal of most of NAVAIR to Patuxent NAS was another matter in which some bureaucratic operators teamed up with Maryland politicos to push jobs into southern Maryland and protect the Patuxent mafia’s rear end.
