BREAKING: Shooter at the D.C. Naval Yard
Bastard.
So far 10 people shot and reports of some fatalities, but you know how these things swing.
Gun-free military base combined with gun-free city, so everyone inside is sitting ducks.
Oh. Be comforted ~ Obama is “closely monitoring” events.
ths update Here we go. Fox news reports saying, “injured, but not contained”, black, over 6′ and bald, but worse…

This is why it has to shake out. But I can tell you from WATCHING, they just helo-hoisted a wounded person out of the Yard, and there were TWO rifles, one pointed out of either side of the helo, providing COVER and ready to go if they had to.
Not good.
From the WaPa First HARD NEWS on at least two shooters: (And Fox just mentioned TWO for the first time as well)
Police search for active shooters on grounds of Washington Navy Yard in Southeast D.C.
Police say three shooters, including at least one in fatigues, have shot at least 10 people at the Washington Navy Yard.
Police said at least one of the shooters is “down,” but it was unclear whether that means the suspect has been arrested or shot. Two remain at large, and police believe they have pinned down one between the third and fourth floors of one of the buildings on the installation in Southeast Washington.
