A gunman has killed at least four people at the Washington Navy Yard, a naval installation in the US capital, officials say.
Police were called to the scene after reports of shooting at 0820 local time (1320 GMT)
Police say that one gunman is deceased and two additional suspects wearing military-style uniforms may still be at large
US President Barack Obama has been briefed on the matter by top officials
Bugger. Innocents killed again. Another attack on the US. Let's hope they are not Muslim and are just crazy patriots going postal.
2 shooters still at large. One white, one black.

The FBI has also asked the public for any information about Aaron Alexis, 34, from Fort Worth. He is the killer who was killed.
8:02 local time the shoots started.
They have not ruled out terrorism however it looks more like this go went postal for some reason.
Looking for a potential 2nd gunman. they are not sure. They have eliminated a potential 3rd.

Yes, because we should totally wet ourselves and restrict the rights of millions of law abiding citizens because we might have one nutter in the mix... Where have I heard of people doing that before? Oh, right, you pussies after the Port Arthur shootings. Thankfully, my government isn't run by drippy fluffy bunnies like yours is, so we get to keep our rights despite there being a damned near statistically insignificant chance someone might go on a rampage through a crowd of people with a gun.

Too many fucking guns in the US. Any madman can and does get his hands on some quite easily, as do criminals. The rate of gun homicides and suicides and accidental gun deaths in the US are staggering!

Looks like someone has been fiddling with the word censor.
