I'm hearing on CNN and that emergency-response teams are now moving into a location that is not the Navy Yard. A different location -- so say the reports right now.

Just heard report of shots fired at Bolling AFB, couple of miles from Navy Yard.
The U.S. Department of Transportation has been locked down. It is right next to the Navy Yard. http://wapo.st/17DLgdN

And how could a man be working at the Washington Navy Yard after getting drummed out of the Naval Reserve for the illegal firing of a weapon?

STICKY POST FOR NOW - CONSTANTLY UPDATED AS WE LEARN MORE
Washington Navy Yard. Less than a mile from the U.S. Capitol, I believe.
The Navy Yard is an extremely secure facility! Documents with the highest classification!
This post stuck here for a while so that updates can be added as they occur. For local coverage that is really on top of developments, go to WUSA.
PASTORIUS UPDATE - This is a Secure Operations building - highly classified - The War Plans are in this building.
FOX NEWS PUT UP A SCROLL A FEW MINUTES AGO, SAYING, "AMBULANCES ARRIVE ON SCENE WITH POLICE ESCORT.
I have never heard of ambulances being given a Police Escort before.
This could mean one of two things,
1) they anticipated terrible traffic problems, so they believe they needed a convoy of Emergency vehicles all with sirens blaring (but frankly, that would just cause even more trouble,
or
2) THEY BELIEVE THIS IS A TERRORIST OPERATION WHICH MAY ROLL OUT IN STAGES, and that a stage might be planned wherein Emergency responders are attacked.
THIS COULD BE THE FIRST STAGE OF JIHADIST ATTACKS IRAN THREATENED US WITH IN RESPONSE TO SYRIA.
KRLA LOS ANGELES RADIO: SHOOTER DESCRIBED AS A "BLACK MALE, WITH A BEARD, WEARING A CAP"
MULTIPLE SHOOTERS ARE BEING REPORTED BY SOME SOURCES NOW, INCLUDING THE WASHINGTON POST:
WaPo sticking with three gunmen, according to police spokeswoman WaPo
One of the shooters is “down,” police said, but two remain in a building on the grounds.
One of the shooters at large is dressed in fatigues. At least one has a long gun, police said.
PASTORIUS COMMENT - I'm pretty sure the first few people shot were Law Enforcement, as the shooters tried blasting their way into the building. I believe the shooters shot their way in, because of the photograph higher up in this article, which shows people attending to a downed person OUTSIDE the Naval Yard buildings.
This would indicate that shots were fired BEFORE THE SHOOTERS EVEN ENTERED THE BUILDING, or at the entrance.
IMAGINE WHAT THIS MUST BE LIKE FOR THE POLICE WHO ARE RESPONDING.

D.C. Naval Yard Shooting Thread II: Police Enter Building, More Shots Heard – Update: NBC Says Two Separate Shooting Locations – Update: Reports Say 8 DeadReport of shots fired at Bolling AFB, couple of miles from Navy Yard AOW here....Video interview of a few witnesses. Apparently there were no shots fired at Bolling AFB. But emergency vehicles did leave the Navy Yard and head down I-95 South.
From ABC News: ...The shooter is described as a former Navy official in his fifties whose work status was recently changed. His name has not been released.... PASTORIOUS CUTTING IN:
Navy Official 2:00 pm(ish): This is not over
Police still say they believe two other shooters may be on the loose.
at 2:10 press briefing D.C. police now confirm 12 dead
still looking for a white male wearing tan military/navy uniform & beret and a black male 40-50 olive uniform 5'10" about 180 lbs medium complexion gray sideburns
FBI taking over in manhunt for these 2
area residents encouraged to stay in AOW here....One of the potential suspects -- the white man -- has now been ruled out by the police.
Aaron Alexis, 34, grew up in Brooklyn with his mother, Sarah, and father, Anthony Alexis, according to his aunt Helen Weeks.
“We haven’t seen him for years,” Weeks said of her nephew in a telephone interview. “I know he was in the military. He served abroad. I think he was doing some kind of computer work.”
A 2007 Navy Times feature cites an Aaron Alexis as having graduated from Navy boot camp that year from the Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill. Its unclear if this is the same Alexis, but the newspaper listed his occupational specialty as an airman recruit. A deleted web profile of an Aaron Alexis listed him as being stationed at Naval Air Station in Fort Worth.
Officials said police theorize that there may be additional shooters because of witness accounts and surveillance video among other information. One of those officials also said all the weapons were not accounted for....NBC released this photograph of Aaron Alexis:

If there are indeed 3 gunmen, then this isn't a "lone wolf" or personal grudge situation.

Obama just spoke a few words about today's events at the Navy Yard. His emphasis: "another mass shooting." He has promised a thorough investigation.
Now is moving on to speak about Syria and our ailing economy.
Monday, September 16, 2013 5:36:00 pm
How does Obama know? Did he send those shooters to ONLY commit a mass shooting for no other purpose but just shoot people?
Obama KNOWS about their motive before they have the two other people in custody. I'd say arrest the f***in POS and question HIM!
Or tell him to STFU and try not to make every f***in thing into a campaign issue.

MR,
I'm not so sure about that assertion. See THIS.
A drug mule?
A Thailand-related jihadist?
He got back from Thailand 6 months ago. Has he been doing Buddhist meditation since then?
What the hell is going on?
