Authorities have identified a 34-year-old civilian contractor for the Navy named Aaron Alexis as the alleged shooter in this mornings shooting spree at Washington, D.C.s Navy Yard, in which police say at least 12 victims died.
Alexis was identified via fingerprints, said law enforcement sources.
Alexis served in the U.S. Navy between May 5, 2007 and Jan. 31, 2011, when he was discharged, a Navy spokeswoman said. Alexis was an “aviation electrician’s mate”— a third class petty officer— serving at the Naval Air Station in Fort Worth, Texas at the time of his discharge, the spokeswoman said. After enlisting in New York, he graduated from boot camp at Great Lakes, Illinois as an Airman Recruit.
The spokeswoman had no other details on the grounds for his discharge.
In the late 1990s through 2002 he is listed as maintaining addresses in Manhattan and Queens, New York City. He has a New York State social security number and is a registered voter in New York City.
According to a deleted Linked In profile, he attended Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and worked for a tech firm.
His most recent listed address was 2450 Oak Hill Circle, Ft. Worth. A former roommate from Ft. Worth, the owner of Happy Bowl Thai restaurant, told NBC News he had not seen Alexis in three months.
Records show that Alexis was arrested for allegedly discharging a firearm at his Ft. Worth home in September 2010. A witness in a neighboring apartment told police that she heard a pop and saw a hole in her floor and ceiling.
Alexis told police he was cleaning his gun when while cooking and that his hands were slippery. Charges against him were dropped.
I stand corrected. I can’t help it if my map was upside down!
He owns a Thai restaurant.
No, it is a real town near Ft. Worth.
White Settlement IS a real place. :)
“Somsak..what kind of name is that?”
Hey! “Somsak” is my other middle name!
“he fired a shot through the ceiling of his apartment while cleaning his gun.”
this may explain his less than stellar hit ratio..../s
Isn’t she the first one to have HIV recently in the news from calif?
Was the Lady just on Fox News say that companies need to treat their workers better insinuating this was workplace violence? Did anybody else hear that?
I’m waiting for Obambi to say “if I had a son, we would look like Aaron”. Not holding my breath.
Yes not sure for this part. I read somewhere in a post that stated he was cooking and cleaning his gun at the same time when it went off. LOL
Without looking it up I believe "White City" was a "projects" type of area near/within London...
I bet there will now be increased pressure on the town to change their name.
Questions:
1) Was he upset about US policy in Syria?
2) Did he yell ‘Allah Akbar’ as he shot people?
Heard Chris Plante all day long on WMAL — they kept him on until about 3pm...
Did anyone post THIS FaceBook profile? It looks like him but I disregarded it because of the New York location - but, he did live in New York at one time.

Useless info. Please follow the rules.
While subbing for Howie Carr this afternoon, Jeff Kuhner said that The One and Mooch are going to party hearty with Gloria Estefan tonight. Nothing like a shooting is going to interfere with their good time.
White Settlement was named for the whites who settled in Indian country back in the 1850s.
