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....

WH says Obama’s economy speech is still on for 11:40. Spokesman doesn’t expect comments on Navy Yard Shooting. http://wapo.st/164OCt4

Witness on CBS live stream just said some phone number. If it’s hers, she will live to regret that.

[Uncle Miltie]

I want military people armed when on base.

This is ridiculous.

[Bubba_Leroy]

How is this possible? D.C. has very strict gun control laws. Surely no one would violate gun control laws in order to shoot unarmed victims!

The only real question is how long will it take for the TV talking heads to blame this shooting on the NRA?

Someone has violated existing gun control laws in order to shoot victims who are unarmed because of the gun control laws. Clearly the only solution is more gun control laws!

[Old Sarge]

Agreed, and I concur. Someone called it “Sudden Jihad Syndrome”, as well.

[GeronL]

scene of police with rifles leaving building.... half match the description of the perp. lol.

Spokeswoman: 2 victims of Navy Yard shooting are being treated at Washington Hospital Center http://wapo.st/1bmTAmf #navyyardshooting

[Blood of Tyrants]

This just went from workplace violence to a terrorist act.

[I want the USA back]

If the perps are White Christians, then it’s all over the news: “right wing fanatics etc”
If they are ROP, then our fearless leader goes on TV and says that we shouldn’t condemn all members of a religion for the actions of an unbelievably small number.
If they are holder’s people, then it’s not in the news at all.

[SE Mom]

Whoa...

[Coldwater Creek]

What color were the “fatigues”? If blue might be Navy uniform, which is no called fatigues.

[Cvengr]

NAVSEASYSCOM, huh,...I’d be more concerned that this is a diversion.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Not necessarily. Over the past year, at least, there has been a move to make military bases more accessible to the public.

My local (Conservative) radio station announced about 10.30 they were going to Fox LIVE for awhile..

and they did..

Its TV... they are mentioning LIVE pictures now..

[Nuc 1.1]

Now would be the time to strike hard somewhere else in the area.

[GeronL]

if white:

wall to wall TEA Partiers are dangerous

experts brought on to discuss the dangers of conservative Christians

....

if Muslims,,, “We cannot blame this on a whole group”

[Paine in the Neck]

Woman in news conference now reports three shots “pow pow pow” then four seconds later, a four round burst “pu-pu-pu-pow”. Doesn’t sound like select fire.

[Lazamataz]

I work (and am currently at) a similar fed facility. NOT PLEASED WITH HER LETTING EVERY MOHAMMAD, FAISAL AND SALIM INFORMATION ON HOW TO GET TO ME!

Re: The only real question is how long will it take for the TV talking heads to blame this shooting on the NRA?

I keep asking and asking and asking, how can three white-black men... obviously Tea Party NRA members, get guns into a gun free Navy area?
