The shooting is reported to have occurred at about 8:20 a.m. on the fourth floor at the headquarters of the Naval Sea Systems Command on Isaac Hull Avenue on the grounds of the historic Navy Yard (Building 197). Building 197 houses the Naval Sea Systems Command.
The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is the largest of the U.S. Navy’s five “systems commands,” or materiel (military materials and equipment) organizations. NAVSEA consists of four shipyards, nine “warfare centers” (two undersea and seven surface), four major shipbuilding locations and the NAVSEA headquarters, located at the Washington Navy Yard, in Washington D.C.
Washington Navy Yard is about 1.6 miles from the U.S. Capitol.
This is from some advertiser supported paper called the Arlington cardinal. So we have all the lamestream crapheads repeating the same nothing over and over and a very obscure paper scoops them with the precise site of the shooting.
Any Freepers aware of what the 4th deck of NAVSEA does?
NAVSEA moved to the navy yard from Crystal City in the 1990’s as part of a plan to reduce leased space. Of course Crystal City just filled up with other fed offices and contractors.

Sounds like someone (the classical ‘they’?) just wanted the Navy out of Crystal City ...
Probably no specific connection to 4th floor. Just a convenient place to shoot from. From WaPo:" Rick Mason, a program management analyst who is a civilian with the U.S. Navy, told the Associated Press that a gunman was shooting from a fourth floor overlook in the hallway outside his office. He said the gunman was aiming at people in the building’s first floor cafeteria."
