yes confined but not in custody.

That is the talk about the office right now. Little info getting out.

If you're the praying type, please remember by B-I-L who is in a building on lock-down next to the yard. He is a retired Navy veteran still doing work for the Navy. He is safe and sound, but naturally his wife and family are quite shaken. Thanks.

Terrible. Best thoughts to you and your family.

Saw that death total was up to 10 and the shot total keeps rising.

Hard to know what to believe though. Data isn't always accurate immediately following these events.

Right here, I'll be sending up a prayer for your family.

Shooter dead

Looks like the guy shot his way into the Yard at the gate at 8th and M.

What is the total for dead now? This sounds like another perfect story for gun control. Isn't D.C. a gun free zone?

Holy crap.

If there were 3 shooters, sounds like a coordinated para military attack. Makes you wonder if Russia, Syria, or a domestic group made the attack.

Why would Russia do anything of the sort?



I do wonder if it's a convenient false flag incident to get the attention off the administrations failures in foreign policy.

Russia hasn't been very happy with Obama or the Syria situation. Many Russians have little respect for Obama. I would agree about the false flag. Seems like that is plausible.

It may be far fetched. But the descriptions given of the "shooters" fit the bill.

What was their description? I wouldn't doubt for one second that it either involved foreigners, was done to take the attention off of current affairs, or if it was a move made to further try to control gun rights.

I believe that at the end of the day their will only be one shooter. Witnesses may have seen the same shooter 2 times...or mistaken police for the shooter.
