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.

Federal law enforcement official says shooter at Washington Navy Yard has died, AP reports #NavyYardShooting
4 confirmed dead?? Wow, just heard about this, turn on the radio not listening closely and one wonders what they heard. Prayers to above, horrible, then I turned on the drudge report. I hope there are not more victims, never know. Sheesh.
“Duck and cover!”
ONE SHOOTER HAS DIED
And curiously, Syria was intended to change the topic and distract from Benghazi.
WJLA had a source saying 8 people dead.
I think they arrested that Jones guy in FL last week for having kerosene-soaked Korans. That could be the motive this time. Where’s Hillary when we need her? Do you suppose Kerry can feign the appropriate outrage?
Mine must be broken.
They’ll have their photo on Rolling Stone next month.
Best I can do. They don’t let me bring my toys on campus.
It just makes me sick that many of our own warriors in uniform, who protect and serve our country, and who often end up sacrificing their own lives for others, have to live and work in gun free zone U.S. bases. This is just so wrong.
The Colt M16A2 fires a 3-round burst, but that’s not something that a civilian would typically own.
AP via FOX ... at least one shooter dead
Spokeswoman said ‘Let’s pray for the victims’, which tells me she will be fired for failing to respect the separation of church and state.
The U.S. Department of Transportation has been locked down. It is right next to the Navy Yard. http://wapo.st/17DLgdN
I'd go by what she imitated rather than her uneducated use of terminology: "pow pow pow" then "pu-pu-pu-pow", i.e., three separate rounds followed by a four round 'burst'. Not select fire or full auto.
So...why didn’t the NSA intercept this threat? Time to start asking the question at least. Too busy tapping the Tea Party and conservative congress critters to keep tabs on the true enemies of this country?
True, I forgot about that...
Something about “Washington NAVY Yard” might have been a little hint....
Maybe its an all day event.
