On September 16, 2013, around 8:20 a.m. EDT, shots were fired at Building 197, headquarters of the Naval Sea Systems Command[1], located inside the Washington Navy Yard in Southeast Washington, D.C.. At least thirteen people were confirmed dead, including one suspected shooter.[2][3] Around 3,000 civilian and military personnel work in the building.

Shooting

The US Navy said that at least three shots were fired at 8:20. Todd Brundidge, an executive assistant with the Naval Sea Systems Command, said he and other co-workers encountered a gunman in a hallway of their building on the third floor, who was wearing all blue. "He just turned and started firing."[4]

Victims

At least fourteen people—including twelve civilians, a D.C. police officer, and a base officer—were shot, with thirteen of them killed.[5][6] At least three victims (a male police officer and two female civilians) were in critical condition and are being treated at Washington Hospital Center.[7][8] Medstar Washington Medical Center spokeswoman Janis Orlowski said the hospital was treating two civilians and one police officer who were in critical condition; she added that the hospital expected more victims to arrive.[4]

Suspects

Officials said one gunman, Aaron Alexis, a 34-year-old civilian contractor from Fort Worth, Texas,[9] is dead and one possible suspect is still at large.[10][11] Alexis had previously been arrested for discharging a weapon within city limits.[12][13] Washington, D.C., Chief of Police Cathy L. Lanier initially stated police were searching for a white male wearing khaki military fatigues and a beret and a black male wearing olive military fatigues and carrying a long gun,[14] but the white male has been identified and is no longer a suspect.[15] No motive for the shootings has yet been identified.[16]

Aftermath

At least eight schools were locked down, and many roadways and bridges were closed.[8] Flights out of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport were temporarily suspended.[7] Senate buildings went on lockdown just after 3 p.m. EDT "out of an abundance of caution" according to the Senate Sergeant at Arms.[15]

The Washington Nationals announced that they would postpone their scheduled evening game, owing to the proximity of Nationals Park to the Navy Yard area.[17]

Reactions

President Barack Obama pledged to ensure the perpetrators would be held responsible. He called the victims "courageous Americans" who knew about the risks of serving overseas, but would not have expected such "unimaginable violence" at home.[4] He added that the shootings were a "cowardly act."[18]
