A US Navy commander told Monday how he saw a co-worker shot in the head just a few feet from him, during mass shooting on a Washington base that left at least 12 people dead.
Navy officer Tim Jirus told reporters the man from the Washington Navy Yard's maintenance department was felled by gunshots as workers scrambled out of buildings following reports of a shooter on the rampage.

Checking for ID’s is more secure than just waving vehicles with DoD decals through the gate. This matches the occupant(s) to the proferred ID, not a car which can be borrowed or stolen. The security folks (AF and contractor) where I work actually take the ID from me, look at me, look at the ID and studiously compare the 2.
In addition, there are other means used to verify the ID’s, so one can’t just get “waved through” by having a decal or flashing an ID like in the past.
At the installation I work at, they do random vehicle searches, no rhyme or reason, as it should be. You just never know when it’s “your turn”.
Prayers for all the victims and their families.
I read on TB2 (people scouring FB) and it was stated on his FB he had a lot of Moslem “friends”.
I haven’t been reading any threads much so far, too busy, I can try to find that reference and post it.
That’s my best guess. There’s a 95% chance he voted for Obama.
Only a couple of days ago the Al Qaeda leader called for more homegrown attacks on the U.S.

Al Qaeda Leader Calls for New Attacks on US (Photo Credit: AFP/Getty Images)
(BEIRUT) Al Qaeda failed to make good on threats to strike U.S. diplomatic outposts on this weeks 9/11 anniversary, but in a new audio tape, the leader of the besieged terror network renewed his plea to followers to strike at American interests and to aim lower, if necessary, with individual acts of violence.
...
In the new Arabic-language tape, released Sept. 12 Zawahiri chortled over the blessed 2001 strikes that left thousands of Americans dead, as well as Aprils Boston Marathon bombings that killed just three Americans, which he claimed was proof of a Muslim uprising.
Keeping America in tension and anticipation only costs a few disparate attacks here and there, Zawahiri explained during his 72-minute recording. These disparate strikes can be done by one brother or a few of the brothers.
AARON ALEXIS - DECEASED
Navy Yard Shooting
Washington, DC
Aaron Alexis, deceased, is believed to be responsible for the shootings at the Washington Navy Yard, in the Southeast area of Washington, DC, around 8:20 a.m. on September 16, 2013. The FBI is asking for the public's assistance with any information regarding Alexis.
Alexis was last known to reside in Fort Worth, Texas.
Sorry the tweet things showed up funny, I didn’t realize they are links and I should have used html.
See my tagline.
how did he get in
“No words. He raised the gun and started firing,” he told NBC. “He said nothing.”
But I would not be surprised if it was the Amish again.
“I read on TB2 (people scouring FB) and it was stated on his FB he had a lot of Moslem friends.”
I’m shocked a moslem would commit violence. They’re usually so ‘peaceful.’
This particular (likely) moslem convert had PERFECT timing.
He strikes on Monday, at the start of this week’s news cycle, changing the MSM subject from “Wow, we gotta admit Obama sucks after this Putin disaster” back to “Gee shouldn’t we grab all the guns from Americans” (while shipping guns to AL QAEDA).
Just heard on NBC5, local affiliate for Dallas, that Alexis was upset that a contractor was slow to pay him for work he performed in Japan. Also, that he was easy going usually but was given to secluding himself away alone in room playing violent video games. Lastly he had an ongoing feud with neighbor below about her noise(who among us?), and his gun “accidentally” with off with bullet narrowly missing the neighbor below. Oh and he was said to be suffering from PTSD by some accounts.
He was a Buddhist with anger issues.
FNC just said he was a Buddhist.
Sorry...I missed Obama’s presser...did he say the shooter looked like one of his sons?
Plus also southern Thailand I have heard has had problems with its Muslims.
>>10 bucks says hes a muslim convert of some sort.<<
They said he was a Buddhist convert. Donate $10 to FR.
Have you seen his picture? You may be right.
