Three shooters are involved in the Navy Yard shooting, a police spokeswoman said.

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.

White House statement on Navy Yard shooting

The White House issued a statement on the Navy Yard shooting Monday morning:

“The President has been briefed several times about the unfolding situation at the Washington Navy Yard by Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Lisa Monaco and Deputy Chief of Staff Alyssa Mastromanaco....

Slow as hell. Would rather the powers that be let us pack on campus.

[TheBigB]

Eyewitness says shooter was wearing a turban, with a long beard, screaming ALLAH AKBAR at the top of his lungs, and wearing a sign on his chest that said "Your attention, please. I am a terrorist. Thank you."

WH spokesweasel Jay Carney sez, "That doesn't mean anything. We suspect domestic milita. And anyway, sequester."

[Deo volente]

You can rely on our government to try to create an acceptable narrative here.

Disgruntled civilian employee, demoted because of budget cuts (GOP sequester).

Ft. Hood was spun as “workplace violence” for a long time, and there still is scant recognition of what it really was.

[mikrofon]

“Job description” changes implicated ... GOP’s Sequestration will be blamed.

[TurboZamboni]

at least they’re to be credited for celebrating diversity.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

Yes......you are right on!!! Obama is not one of us. He is the enemy within, along with his Democrat Party and their sworn allies, the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda!!!

[penelopesire]

Could have been military police responding to reports of shooting though. Unless of course they have witnesses of these other perps shooting at people.

[matt04]

Aren’t those illegal in DC, therefor makin a shooting with one in why is most likely a “gun-free zone” impossible?

[Paine in the Neck]

Sounds like the two other “shooters” may be military guys who were carrying (and weren’t supposed to) but were looking to stop the guy.

Responders had to breach a number of doors with shotguns so 'multiple uniformed shooter' reports may be from misunderstanding this.

[Kartographer]

"someone identified as white could easily be arab"

THAT'S RACIST!

I betting he'll be identified as a 'White Hispanic'. Paging George Zimmerman do you have an alibi?

[GeronL]

lol. Yep. Look at Nidal Hassan, he admitted it and it is still classified as workplace violence or something

[Lazamataz]

First dead victim, the 60 year old with the temple headshot, was probably the guy outside of CVS, outside the base.

[Tennessee Nana]

our wimp err president is going to speak

oh hurrah...

if he says “workplace violence” the dead assassin was Moslem..

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Up-Armored Segway.

[ColdOne]

Or be a white mexican like Zimmerman.

[newnhdad]

the fog is something that comes naturally to the DC government.

[Paine in the Neck]

Aren’t those illegal in DC, therefor makin a shooting with one in why is most likely a “gun-free zone” impossible?

Well, of course.

[maggief]

No wonder Obama is switching gears ...

OT:

NBC News @NBCNews 10m

JUST IN: UN report says chemical weapons used in Syria slaughter, stops short of blaming Assad

[Huskerfan44]

Please advise all our military personnel to be extremely careful. They will now be targets of those who shoot first, concoct story later.

[Lazamataz]

Because Sequester.
