They are qualifying the possibility of other shooters.
The Washington Navy Yard was declared a "gun free zone" a few years ago.
In fact after Obama ordered the bolts of the Marines rifles to be removed, civilian police now provide LE on the yard.
From what is being said, there are more than two shooters, one of the perpetrators has been killed, therefore it doesn't sound like a disgruntled employee. Terrorist related possibly.
Well, as I said, this clearly doesnt involve guns, and somehow it probably demonstrates that more guns are needed. Sorry, not probably. Definitey. It definitely shows how gun control is bad. And guns arent related to any of this. Certainly not. And you just know Obama is behind this.
I think maybe I'll turn on the radio and get information about the story now.
I have just as much disdain for hate mongering media as you do, but it was the first thing which popped into my mind as well. This is a place with ties to the government, and the shooting is coming on the heels of a message from the Al-Qaeda promoting "lone wolf" attacks on US soil.
It's not an unreasonable conclusion to jump to.

Done with your daily dose of sarcasm now?
When an area is declared a Gun Free Zone, the only people who obey it are the good guys. Somehow, having a Navy Yard declared gun free sounds ridiculous. How did the stop the first one? Shot him. Throwing a book of rules at him probably wouldn't have had the same effect.

I look forward to more vomit inducing gun control measures because of this.

Despite all the speculation in the media coverage about the terrible tragedy at the Washington Navy Yard, the following are among the only facts known so far:
1. There were casualties, both injuries and deaths
2. A suspected gunman was killed
Whether any other persons were involved in the shootings and the possible motive or motives are unknown.
In any case, my thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of this shooting, along with their families.
A 50-year-old Navy employee whose employment status had recently changed has been identified as the deceased gunman, ABC News reported.

I would add
3) Guns and availability of guns have absolutely nothing to do with this, except for the fact that this could have been prevented by more guns.

Raise your hand if when you heard the news the first thing you thought was Muslim. Not saying it is, but that was my first thought.
So the Navy cannot defend itself from a shooter?
Not if they don't allow them to carry loaded guns.
