Up to four dead and 10 wounded.

Multiple Shooters.  Reports are now that there is only one shooter and that they are dead.

Reporting 6 dead now. One gunman killed. Possibly two more at large. Still a very confused situation.

Word is they're still looking for two possible suspects.

What isn't clear is whether those two armed themselves and left or if they really are bad guys.

Time will provide clarity. Expect confused, contradictory reports for the rest of the day. By tomorrow we'll probably have a better idea as to what's up.

Agreed. Terrible tragedy.

A gunman suspected in the killing of at least eleven people at a Navy building in Washington Monday morning has been identified as Aaron Alexis, 34, of Texas, Fox News has learned, and police were searching for a second possible suspect in the attack.

Damned tragedy.  Unfortunately this will delve into a political scrum before any actual hard facts about what happened are ever made public.

God bless those who lost their lives and their families.

Reuters is saying he was ex military, worked at a Thai restaurant, went to a Buddist temple.

Still no explanation that makes any kind of sense. Not that these incidents ever really make sense.
