Active Shooter at Navy Yard in DC

[xtry51]

Seriously? I've been there, its a military facility... and it's a gun free zone?

Almost all bases do not allow troops to carry full time. Look around next time you're on a base and count how many people you actually see carrying a pistol or a rifle. It's next to none.

It's also retarded.

8 Pages and no one set up the line yet:

I've got 3:1 odds the shooters middle name is "Wayne"

"Mohammed" is at 3:2, sorry guys.

"disgruntled employee" as the motive is still paying well at 4:1, not sure why....

Don't forget 'workplace violence'

Yes, on military facilities, carrying is not allowed. Also, if you do have a firearm in your car, it must be locked up and only for a specific purpose like "going hunting after work" or "going to the range on post".

As far as the military weapons, they're almost always locked up in arms rooms. They can be taken out for training without ammo easily. If being taken to a live-fire range, the ammo is distributed at the range and checks are performed to make sure nobody has any live ammo when they leave the range.

Shooting at Washington Navy Yard

Two witnesses told CNN affiliate WJLA that they heard a fire alarm go off in the building where they worked, then saw a man with a rifle down the hallway as they exited the building.

"He aimed the gun and fired our way," a man who identified himself as Todd Brundidge told WJLA, adding, "I couldn't believe it."

People frantically tried to run out of the building, Brundidge said.

"Everyone was going down the stairs. They were pushing. They were shoving. People were falling down," he told WJLA. "As we came outside, people were climbing the wall trying to get over the wall to get out of the spaces. It was just crazy."

shelter in place???


yeah, no, I don't think so...

The Pentagon "believes there has been loss of life" in a shooting at the Washington Navy Yard, a spokesman says.

REALLY???

 

[flypadre]

What, was ammo becoming too readily available? Damn.

+1

I already am hearing the people in my office talking about, "These things are gonna keep happening as long as the people who want people to have guns, keep throwing money around."

 

[GM-GUY]

According to Drudge it's multiple shooters - that whole Mohammed thing is looking more likely.

Also odd they are halting flights out of Reagan International.

Unreal... So the only 'armed' guys are the ones at the main gate, well, its been a few years since I was there so I don't even know if that's true anymore.

multiple shooters, 10 reported victims so far in something so densely populated... doesn't add up. Keeping my tinfoil hat on standby for this one.

Beyond retarded. That's just ****ed up on a whole other level.

Adjust for maximum tinfoilage.

Definitely premeditated martyresque situation. I doubt at this time it's someone going "mailman time"...

 

[namedpipes]

just in the nick of time to be used as more ammo(pun) for Bloomberg, Pelosi, Feinstein etc

FIFY

I'm gonna call it: this is a "false flag" with Syrian nationals doing this in order to give a more legitimate reason for Obama to invade Syria. And it has the side effect of increasing the poll numbers supporting an invasion.

Wow, my tinfoil receptor is telling me the same thing.

 

[Fotoduck]

Fox News is reporting 2 shooters. Might this be more than workplace violence?

 

[headednorth]

Theyre saying 8 dead now

 

[bullseye]

Premeditated, somewhat organized with multiples, most vehicles are thoroughly searched, open all doors, hood, get out of the car unless you have the access stickers.
Ugh!

There is a slim chance that two unrelated shooters arrived at the same time. Could happen.

ETA. /sarcasm.

Reagan International Airport holding all flights because of shooting

Didn't you hear Jesse say that those assault weapons can shoot trains and planes?

 

[Pete85]

Not really. There's none of the "save the orphans, wah wah wah wah" stuff they can pull on this. When the dust settles this won't be any different memetically than fort hood. The retard antis will be drowned out by commoners asking the obvious... "This is a military facility, where are all the people with guns?"

-Mike

It depends on who the shooters are. If they have any ties to right wing or libertarian politics, then the antis will milk this for all it's worth. If they have ties to left wing groups or are Muslim extremists, it will be swept under the rug just like the Marathon bombers were.

Chief spokesman from Navy Yard tells CNN "two shooters are down"

 

[PappyM3]

Yup, the few MPs and any civilian police are the only ones armed.

Couldn't agree more.

 

[ccm75]

Naval Yard employee quoted as being incredulous that gunman could get into her office building...

1 shooter = probable nut job with gun.
2 shooters = planned terrorist attack..................?

 

[lancecolonel]

just clicked onto the live dc fox feed......

why do reporters insist on calling every rifle they see an automatic weapon?

I believe you are correct here. But it doesn't sit with me that it's right wing or libertarian.

Why. Because we fight legislation because we by and large follow the law.

 

[falcon123]

If by off chance the shooters are Islamic will it be workplace violence again?

Maybe they're freedom fighters coming to liberate us from our tyrannical govt. Send them more weapons.

Media sensationalism at its finest

 

[CWulf]

So by trying to make the employees 'safe' we actually are making it 'safe' for terrorists and making the employees sitting ducks. But I doubt it will be seen that way by the press and .gov

Anyone remember the Fort Dix 5 incidnt, that lead to the first "pre emptive prosecution".....that incident should have changed all policies for bases and could have been way worse than Ft Hood.
