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.

Gee, you’re really invested in that “disgruntled employee” meme, aren’t you? Why don’t you wait and see how it turns out. Unless you’ve been hired to say “nothing to see, move along there.”

If they’ve just locked down the Senate buildings and there are armored vehicles on the lawn, I’d say this is more than a disgruntled employee.

Another website says he got in using the ID of a FORMER Contractor.

Navy contractor at Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base

Is that’s accurate, it very odd then that he would be targeting folks in NAVSEA, which focues on support for ships.

"We've not had a day like this since 9/11" says Eleanor Holmes Norton, the black DC delegate.

WTF? Does this b!tch not remember Ft. Hood? She's asking us to "withhold judgment"???

This country has lost it's mind.

Nope—don’t wanna bet, lol, but it will be a race against time to connect him to islamism. Linkedin page already scrubbed.

That’s one angry mugshot.

Jennifer Griffin of Fox News believes this could be only a single shooter involved and not the 2 shooters or initially the 3 shooters.

A tidbit I saw on twitter. Redskins WR Josh Morgan’s mom was in Navy Yard during shootings; she was unharmed. She was also in Pentagon on 9/11. >>>>>>>>And he was at Virginia Tech during the shooting there.

Nope. Once the shooter was identified as black, any gun control angle disappeared. The media will shut up about this after a few days and no one on the left will ever talk a out it again.

"Jonathan Hunt (Fox) : suggestion that Alexis “had some links at some point to NYC.”"

Any meetings with Bloomberg while he was there? Maybe that's where he got his marching orders.. I thought he was from Texas though.

Some tactical shotguns do look similar to ARs from a distance.

I saw that. I'm still trying to figure out why a FW guy goes all the way to DC to shoot up the Navy's SBIR office. What's the specific connection? If there isn't one, then why this facility; there's plenty of Navy activities closer to Ft. Worth.

I read somewhere else that he had just started to work there, so he probably didn’t know anyone very well. And certainly not the higher ups.

In any case, he had to steal an ID to get in, so while he may have worked for them in some capacity, it doesn’t sound as if he was permitted free range of the yard.

Foxlive DC just posted the same mugshot of Aaron Alexis found on the Fort Worth mugshot site.

Another example of FR finding it first!

Navy CAPT. MARK VANDROSS: “I was very proud of my folks.” Either his parents were visiting, or he’s been schmoozing with Obama. What a loser. I am disgusted with the lack of professionalism because 0bama has destroyed all standards.
