DC - Twelve killed, 8 injured in shooting at Washington Navy Yard, 16 Sept 2013

  • #61
In a number of tweets from the base, employees expressed their fright. One tweet said people were stuck on the fourth floor of the headquarters building, while the shooter was firing from the third floor. Others wrote of being incredulous that a shooter could get inside the building.

A woman who gave her name as Terry Durham said that as she and co-workers were evacuating, she saw a man down the hall raise a rifle and fire toward them, hitting a wall. “He was tall. He appeared to be dark-skinned,” she said.

“He was a tall black guy,” said her co-worker, Todd Brundage, who is black. “He didn’t say a word.”

One victim was reported to be on the roof of a building, reported News4's Tony Tull. A U.S. Park Police helicopter hovering above the scene around 9:50 a.m. lowered a basket to a building and lifted what appeared to be a shooting victim from the roof. The helicopter came back to the scene just after 10 a.m. to retrieve another victim.

have we seen confirmation of multiple shooters? this is insane!

The school that my husband teaches at was on lockdown a couple of weeks ago. The students and teachers stayed inside their classrooms until they were given the all clear.

Per CNN, Navy Yard spokesman (didn't catch name) says two shooters are down.

Take with a grain of salt, CNN isn't always the best with breaking info.

Adding in - Ed Ziegler (sp?) is name they just gave as spokesman again.
