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....

[Starboard]

This was a planned attack, for a specific purpose.

*******
That appears to certainly be the case. If so, is this an isolated attack or part of a larger plan? Is there another phase?

Obama was informed of the incident on the back 9.

Now, that's some funny stuff right there, I tell ya. LOL

[Deo volente]

Watching an ABC News update, describing the Navy Yard as a “large workplace”.

They just can’t resist using that word.

[Puppage]

... did he actually DO anything?

I believe a red line has been drawn. A sternly written letter is currently in the works.

[Sacajaweau]

Holders on it....Who’s going to get nailed for saying “black”....racists all!!

[Phosgood]

On later reports Fox/Blonde has hard time describing the shooter when it comes to race. A lot of stuttering but gives height and other desciptions in detail.

[Fury]

...... used a full auto 3 shot burst M-16. Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

Washington Post claims to be quoting DC police in reporting 3 shooters. I note that 1 is described as dressed all in black, including black hat, and one in fatigues. But easy enough to take off fatigues.

Listening on my Iphone via the ap “I(heart)radio” to WMAL 105 FM/630AM.

Radio station is fairly non-emotional, stating that most news outlets not reporting multiple shooters.

[MarMema]

NBC is saying at least two gunmen. Always the fun of early info and conflicting reports.

This was a planned attack, for a specific purpose.

Hezbollah? Response to weakness? Only understand force?

[AmericanInTokyo]

Immediate gut level: Islamist cell terrorism, in response to Syria or some other issue, al-Qaeda said recently they would be attacking US facilities. The more the media and White House come off as trying to paper it over, the more suspicions will arise that it is an attack on the US Navy by jihadists, just as Ft. Hood got theirs--but it was classified as "workplace violence" to shove a load of political correctness and lies crap down our throats.

Putin has been a called in absentia to handle things while Obama finishes up the last three holes.

[V_TWIN]

could be another sleeper cell has been switched on.

[Lazamataz]

I note that 1 is described as dressed all in black, including black hat

[Huskerfan44]

Awaiting his reader screen to be programed?

[nuconvert]

Dr’s are reporting 2 different calibers being found in victims, that’s why the confusion about how many shooters

[Sub-Driver]

Hope the golf course is secure........

[JoyjoyfromNJ]

WMAL reporting unconfirmed report that first victim was shot at CVS drug store across the street from the entrance to the Navy Sea Command.

[central_va]

Amish suspected.

[Defiant]

Muzzies with guns? Time for gun control of Americans.
