8 dead. I was walking to Federal Center SW metro and two cops were storming down 3rd street, I just figured they were trying to get through traffic.

The situation near navy yard is very dreary. One of the shooters is believed to be killed in combat. However, DC police believe that there are 2 more suspects at large.

This is a serious issue if such an act of violence is committed by a group. It might have been planned by a bunch of disgraceful jealous cowards who have no respect for America's Heroes . Read up on this Washington post Article and most importantly, stay safe if you live within DC. My heart pains for the families affected by this disastrous event.

12 dead. 1 of the 3 shooters is dead. The 3 injured are undergoing recovery and are expected to make it, including the one who was shot in both legs. Terrorists, Conspirators, Domestic Extremists, Mass Shooting Wannabes, whatever the hell these shooters are, they need to be brought to justice, Dead or Alive.

UPDATE: One of the persons of interest, the white male in tan clothing, is ruled no longer a suspect. So that drops the number of the potential shooters to just 1. The black male individual who is 5'10'' in olive green clothing.
