WaPo: At least 12 dead in Navy Yard shooting; two possible suspects at large

At least 12 people are dead and others were wounded after as many as three shooters dressed in military style uniforms opened fire in a rampage at the Washington Navy Yard on Monday, police said, spreading fear and chaos across the region as authorities tried to contain the incident.

D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier announced the mounting death toll in a 2 p.m. news conference. One suspected shooter is dead, and Lanier said authorities still are looking for two other potential suspects wearing green and tan military style clothing.

“The big concern for us right now is that we have potentially two other shooters that we have not located at this point,” Lanier said.

Mayor Vincent C. Gray said no motive is known. He said they have no reason to believe it was an act of terrorism, though he said he could not rule it out.

Lanier described one of the possible suspects as a white male in his 40s, wearing what appeared to be tan military clothing, “consistent with a Navy uniform,” and a beret. She said police also are looking for a black man in his 40s with gray sideburns, wearing an olive-drab military-style uniform.

    Praying for all families affected by this attack, and the ‘at-large’ perpetrators are found quickly. Everyone be alert, and stay safe.

    Here is a map of the Yard. Shooting occurred in Building 197, on the southwest side of the yard.

    Prayers to the families of the perished and wounded.

    This is devastating news. I guess I have been operating under a false sense of security knowing my son is working on a Military Base. Ft. Hood seemed like such an outlier, I pray this is not a repeat. That would be somehow worse. I am watching Col. West’s posts for insights that I can trust.

    Best news possible for the suspected accomplice at large…Obama vows to hold accountable those who are responsible for this senseless violence. I recommend he call Holder and schedule a meeting with the DFB over a beer or two.

    I would like to say it now. I think you’ll find out that the killer is a follower of the religion of peace. Why are these people not allowed to carry their own protection? Also, I watched the news conference with Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) praising government and saying how safe DC is. There was a woman in the background that I thought was a Navy commander. White shirt, medals on her chest, 4 stars on her shoulders. Nope. DC police chief.
