"A Navy spokesperson says they cannot confirm a report of multiple shooters, but they’re not dismissing it either. "

Maybe we should think about arming the Navy...

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.

Read something similar...

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...

http://swampland.time.com/2013/09/16/exclusive-navy-yard-dropped-its-guard-pentagon-inspector-general-says/#ixzz2f6cD5chr

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.

I followed all of that, I just thought that the rolling disgruntled shooting thread wasn't a good place to display hatcat

I guess the "I thought our lives were an open book" line is erased by this guy not having an online presence? maybe?

unremarkable run of the mill shooting at a high school near me going on right now, active shooter, 2 injured, yadda yadda yadda

Colorado, are you cool?

how's life, Friday, 13 December 2013 20:15 (ten years ago) link

seeing as how bimonthly mass shootings are here to stay i'm trying to find all the upsides to them

guns bring people together, as you can see from this livestream of what is going on around the school right now http://kdvr.com/on-air/live-streaming/

also gun sales are major $$$ into the economy... and because the population is smaller after each shooting i guess... our per capita gdp goes up..

:(

mitch hedberg and kevin hart (sleepingbag), Friday, 13 December 2013 20:35 (ten years ago) link

watching the helicopter feed of what i presume must now be the procedure for these routine shootings is horrifying.

get shot at in school --> forced to evacuate in a single file line with their hands held up --> all students wrangled into the school's track herded together and patted down by a swat team --> ppl text and tweet --> that's it we're done here, next shooting

mitch hedberg and kevin hart (sleepingbag), Friday, 13 December 2013 20:47 (ten years ago) link

shooter killed himself. guns win! guns win.

To Karen… AND Armed Security. Liberals HATE Guns… but the only way to STOP a Bad Guy with a Gun…. Is a Good Guy with a Gun.
The police can simply not be everywhere we might need them. With a “National Response Time” Average of 22 Minutes… And with the (seemingly increasing) number of evildoers that choose to do harm, We need to place “First Responders” at the sights of most concern.

one month passes...

http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/13/justice/florida-movie-theater-shooting/
(CNN) -- It started with a father sending text messages to his daughter during the previews of a movie.
It ended with the 43-year-old man shot dead amid the theater seats, and a 71-year-old retired police officer in custody.

The shooter sat down and put the gun in his lap.
