This is an evolving story. Post liveblog here.
“D.C. police are looking for gunmen they say shot 10 people at the Washington Navy Yard Monday morning. The U.S. Navy said shots were fired around 8:20 a.m. at the Naval Sea Systems Command Headquarters building, where about 3,000 people work.”
The situation at the Navy Yard is rapidly changing, but here’s what we know shortly after 10:45 a.m.:
-
Three shots were fired at around 8:20 a.m. at the Naval Sea Systems Command Headquarters building.
-
Police said there may be two shooters, though earlier police said there may have been three shooters.
-
At least 10 people were shot, including eight civilians and two police officers. Remember, this number could change as we get more information.
-
Police say four people have been killed and eight others injured. There have been rapidly changing reports about how many people were killed and injured
-
Police said one of the shooters was down, but it was unclear if that meant arrested or shot.
-
Flights at Reagan National Airport were temporarily held by the Federal Aviation Administration due to the shooting. They returned to normal a short time ago.
There are multiple reports of injuries and deaths. NBC is reporting that at least 4 are dead. My thoughts are with the victims and their families.
