Terrible.

I'm hearing three, with two in uniform.

It may be a mistake, however.  You'd obviously see people in uniform on a military base.  One was listed as black, one white.

NBC is reporting at least 12 dead.

I'm numb to these anymore.  It's just so damn often, and we won't change a god damn thing.

So who's the first to describe this as an Obama-led conspiracy to take our guns away?

DC police are looking for two other individuals, and have handed the case over the case to the FBI. 

One is black, bald, wearing olive drab.  The other was white wearing khaki uniform and a red beret.

It sounds like a single gunmen did this. Any news on the other gunmen?

One of the suspects has apparently been cleared. They're still looking for one other possible shooter.

I've seen J.J. exactly twice since the 2012 election.  One was for Sandy Hook.  One was today.  It's so nice that J.J. can only show up when he's playing internet detective after tragedies.

I have a friend who works at the Navy Yard. Learned about this when she posted on fb that she was okay. I'm very glad nothing happened to her.
