Is this work place violence or terrorism ?
If its work place violence they have it covered but what if its actually terrorism could this be a ploy for a much larger event ? Exploding ambulances or other devious means for causing mass casualties like they do overseas? This is terrible please pray for the victims and their families ...protect our country from these evil doers.

Terrible; terrible. The only thing I know is what I've read here; no radio or television at work. Keep us posted.

Pray for the victims.

10 people shot at Washington Navy Yard, Naval Sea Systems Command Headquarters in DC | wusa9.com
I hear you but one problem I have with this debate is that it's ok to tar all gun owners based on the action if a few. Yet we aren't supposed to draw any conclusions about the shooters themselves. Seems disingenuous to me.

News from AP about the building .......

OFFICIALS: 2ND SHOOTER POSSIBLE AT NAVY YARD

Quote:
Rick Mason, a program management analyst who is a civilian with the U.S. Navy, said a gunman was shooting from a fourth floor overlook in the hallway outside his office. He said the gunman was aiming down at people in the building's cafeteria on the first floor. Mason said he could hear the shots but could not see a gunman.
I did hear from one report that there were high level offices along that hallway .... like in Admiral rank.
No way to know what's really going on yet - the reports of a possible "2" shooters are because the hospitals have reported that there are two different types of bullets.

Yeah, it's definitely not a black & white situation.

One shooter and it's probably a guy ticked off at his boss/co-workers or his wife (don't underestimate the number of those) or the institution that done him wrong personally.

More than one shooter it's probably terrorism... [MOD CUT/off topic]

They need to shoot all but one of them.

My friend's husband, a CPA went there early in this morning to audit their annual work. He has not been calling his wife yet. She has been crying on and off sometimes. I wonder if anyone here has any friends who working there to call their families yet ?

Pray for all victims please . Other federal buildings around there shut down already
