Authorities have identified a gunman who went on a shooting rampage in the nation’s capital today.
Aaron Alexis, 32, was shot dead during the rampage that left at least 12 people dead, including 2 Capital police officers, and scores more injured.
A second gunman is still on the loose. He is described as a black male in his 50s. According to the AP, the search for a 2nd gunman has been called off.
A white male wearing a tan outfit was mistakenly identified as a third gunman as confusion reigned in the aftermath of the shooting.
“The white male in the tan outfit has been identified and is not a suspect or person of interest,” the Metropolitan DC Police Department tweeted.
Police say Alexis gained access into the heavily secured Navy Yard by flashing the photo ID of a terminated employee.
A source told The NY Post that the Fort Worth, Texas, resident had the ID of a former employee, Rollie Chance, who was recently fired by the Defense Department. Authorities are trying to determine how Alexis obtained Chance’s ID.
Alexis — who was arrested for firing a gun in 2010 — was armed with an assault rifle, a handgun, and a long rifle.
Navy employee Todd Brundivge told NBC the shooter was silent as he methodically fired at everything that moved.
“No words. He raised the gun and started firing. He said nothing,” Brundivge told NBC.
Navy Cmdr. Tim Jirus told The Post the shooting began soon after he arrived at work around 8:45 a.m.
“It’s crazy. You come to work on a Monday, and the next thing you know, there are people inside your building shooting the people you work with,’’ he said.

Keep watching the news if you think this isn’t about being black.
Sandra, Why does it have to be Angry Black Man Kills 12. The headlines never read Angry White Man kill children in Sandy Brook elementary school, or in Colorado Movie Theater. Just wondering?
We gonna get into this tomorrow…cause I need advice BAD. But I got a semi-stalker on my hands and I am ONE MINUTE away from calling the police on him. My sister was like don’t do that brotha like that
But I am like @OTB when she said “Umm what is it that you THINK YOU SAW IN ME SIR…so I CAN CHANGE IT.” Lord this dude is WORRISOME YALL. TTYL. GN.
Heads will roll when the smoke clears and the higher ups demand to know how a gunman got into a tightly guarded military installation with a terminated employee’s picture ID. First of all, your ID should be turned in at the time of termination. Secondly, those 2 men must have been twins.
@DATS
I have played wit making the tamales good StuFF!
@ Who Dat: Stay safe, KDub. The restraining order is very handy in situations like this one. If he violates the TRO the police can arrest him just for looking at you. Without it, the police can’t do anything.
@Fay We’re good, sweetie…I promise we’re safe, but I keep two pairs of arm floaties in the car just in case….

Somebody at the guard booth was halfazzin barely looking at id’s like they do everyday…drinking coffee reading the paper wavin people thru not carin…
Sorry, but what mentally stable person is THAT angry? You might go out and buy all of those weapons. You might load them. You might put them in your backseat. You might drive all the way to the Navy building. But by the time a sane person did all of that, they will keep driving right on to the next liquor store or bar and call it a day.

Praying for everyone involved
oh yeah Sandra I agree with only the white shooters thing 
I’m in this music study thing and they need to get this shyt started
hell its week night 
I keep a schedule shyt 
See, I waited until the end of the day, thinking the media had their chit together. I was wrong. Now police are saying there is no second shooter. So we went from 4 shooters to 1 shooter.
@datsmdubya2u you from the funk too?
@SR
now u know better!
I wonder how my former work grounds had armed guards who check visitors trunks & employees badges had to be machine verified before the gate would open. ….smh this the US military security needs to be tighter for my tax dollars.
I got nothing on dude. I dunno..get medication, walk into the state hospital whatever just get help before u kill someone folks.

Thanks.
This is just sad. I wonder what triggered it. So many disgruntle people in the world. You never know when something crazy will happen. People were just going to work like any other day trying to support their families.
Ugh still no real update other than what SR updated based on afternoon/evening news. Thanks SR
the security at some gub’ment buildings here are trash.
Another brotha throwing his life away. I wish things were better for the mentally ill.
