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.

Eyewitness reports are the most accurate reports.

I understand the statistics and the hype to denigrate the reports of an eyewitness. That is the favorite appeal of a liar.

Complete knucklehead to set off fireworks at the WH today. Well, they were sitting on him on the North lawn, so his day is about to go from bad to really bad.

Maybe the first gunman was a distraction to allow the second one time to commit sabotage or espionage.

He’s probably stolen or broken whatever he was after and is long gone.

Don’t take it up with me,..take it up with God. It’s His rules of evidence (Deut 19:15). Or those who don’t think testimony of eyewitnesses are veritable can continue to drink the Kool-Aid and suffer the consequences.

If 2 or more are involved, it’s a conspiracy.

If only one, then a lone wolf criminal act.

"When it was over, Alexis, a former Navy reservist from Ft. Worth, Texas, who recently began work as a civilian contractor, lay dead amid an armload of weapons. Sources told News4 that surveillance footage showed that he began his attack with a shotgun, but was found with a 9mm pistol and an AR-15 assault rifle.

Alexis appears to have seized firearms from two of his victims as he moved through the building along the Anacostia River in southeast Washington, where 3,000 Navy employees go to work each day, many of them carrying authorized firearms."

We need to pass a law that says it is illegal to seize firearms from victims of your shootings! No civilized society can tolerate this!

Will the alleged AR ever be seen? I don’t recall the one from Sandy Hook ever appearing.

Wow... I can't believe you actually went there. Deuteronomy 19:15 proves my point! I can't believe you actually thought that passage bolsters your position.

God required two or more witnesses precisely because eyewitness testimony is unreliable. People get things wrong. People lie. People see things that aren't there.

“God required two or more witnesses precisely because eyewitness testimony is unreliable. People get things wrong. People lie. People see things that aren’t there.”

You are correct. There are many studies on this. The best evidence is physical evidence. If you have photographic evidence, particularily video, if you can show that it has not been altered, it is very good.

The video in the Rodney King episode was severely cut. The jury saw the uncut version, which is why they found the police not guilty.

You know— the oldest main Marine Barracks, the Marine HQ Barracks at Eighth and I Street is 1/2 mile away. The dude wouldn’t have dared to try this crap at Marine Barracks, who are tasked with security at various special missions in DC.
The Marine Barracks HQ is the oldest post in the United States Marine Corps, the official residence of the Commandant of the Marine Corps since 1806, and main ceremonial grounds of the Corps. Also home to the “Commandant’s Own” Marine Drum & Bugle Corps and the “President’s Own” U.S. Marine Band.

How is it that the Washington Navy Yard does not have similar if not greater security— that will be the question— the dude stole or obtained ID to gain entrance with a shotgun. The rest he had on him came from Navy personnel he killed. Seven Minutes— good Lord.
