not sure if a suicide counts as a disgruntled shooting but
a) the guy was a right-winger disgruntled about the new gay marriage law in France
b) it's a pretty high profile place to do it (heard the sirens, wasn't sure what was going on, am only a few blocks away)

my grandfather worked at a navy shipyard. i think it's mostly civilians.

The Navy Yard is mostly offices. One of the first tweets I saw about it was some gun nut jibber jabber about it being a gun free zone or something.

OK so I get that this guy had an access pass to the yard but how was he able to bring a gun in? Isn't there airport-style screening at these places?

Some government sites also have on-site parking, so if the driver just shows his ID to the guard, the guard is not going to look in the car trunk to see what was brought in

The mother of Josh Morgan, a wide receiver for the Washington Team-That-Will-Not-Be-Named, was working at the Navy Yard when this all happened. This wouldn't be particularly noteworthy except for that Morgan's mother was also in the Pentagon during the 9/11 attacks and Morgan himself was a junior at Virgina Tech during its campus shooting.

jeez...

The audit shows a history of those with criminal records managing to bypass the Navy’s security. Fifty-two “convicted felons received routine unauthorized installation access, placing military personnel, attendants, civilians in installations at an increased security risk,” according to the audit.

The Pentagon inspector general began the audit in September 2012, and in August 2013 posted an update to its website reporting that it was expected to be released within the next 30 days.
