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....

I am sure my name is at the top of list for the death panels or gulags at this point....lol. They know Re education is not possible for me.
Geeesh. So it may BE him..but they don’t want it reported yet. Or it my NOT be.
News conf up shortly so we’ll find out. Maybe.
Shirt should say “Stupid White Chicks for Odinga”...

Hate to say it, but here's hoping 2 more are down soon.
Obama is all about himself, remember, terrorist acts NEVER happen on Obama’s watch..Fort Hood-workplace violence..I still hear the terrorist attack at the Marathon in Boston called a “bombing” the media doesnt even call that attack terrorism..Obama will try to use this to take guns away, even though the gun used was a “Government issued one” which means..Obama gave the killer the weapon used to inflict mass death..gee remind people of anything..cough..fast and furious..cough
Makes sense. Thanks for info!
One is workplace violence. Two is not.
Still suspect it was just one guy.
Well, he’s gay.
Hope I am wrong but if really three shooters then afraid the numbers of killed and wounded seem low. If numbers touted are right (big if with these journalists) then sounds more like a single shooter.

A la Zimmerman, was he a "white/black" male?
There, more accurate...

Cafe au lait.
Agreed. More than one shooter..there would be more casualties than reported and it’s unlikely to keep that quiet.
Taking bets that all shooters will be killed in order to silence them. Or maybe shipped to Libya to hang out with the Benghazi attackers because they have too much damning information about Benghazi and are therefore left alone.
Excellent point.
There won’t be any survivors, so we won’t ever know why it happened. Libs at DU saying this would never have happened if there were stricter gun control laws.

Yes, they are three independent shooters who coincidentally decided to shoot up the place in a case of "work place violence".
Each of the shooters were unaware of the other two - they just had had enough of the workplace to snap and shoot simultaneously.

UPDATE 1:30 p.m. A man who works at the Washington Navy Yard says he and some co-workers encountered a gunman this morning in a long third-floor hallway of the building where they work. Todd Brundige says the man “just turned and started firing.”
Co-worker Terrie Durham says the gunman fired toward her and Brundige, but that he “aimed high and missed.” She says the gunman said nothing.
Rick Mason, who’s a civilian working for the U.S. Navy, says a gunman was shooting from a fourth-floor overlook in the hallway outside his office, aiming down at people in the building’s cafeteria. He says he could hear the shots, but couldn’t see the gunman.
Shortly after the gunfire, he says someone on an overhead speaker told workers to seek shelter — and later, to head for the gates at the complex.
Patricia Ward says she was in the cafeteria when the shooting began. She says she heard three gunshots in a row, followed by several more. She says, “We just started running.” Security officers were directing people out of the building, with guns drawn.
