A man brandishing an assault rifle, shotgun and handgun opened fire Monday inside a building at the Washington Navy Yard — killing at least four people and wounding at least seven more, including two police officers, authorities said.

SWAT officers swarmed the building, the headquarters of the Naval Sea Systems Command, and a shooter there was killed, sources told NBC News. More than two hours after the first gunfire, there were reports that tactical teams were entering a second building at the Navy Yard.

The Washington police chief said there could be as many as two other shooters at large, one white and one black, both in military-style uniforms. Federal officials said that information appeared to be based on eyewitness reports and surveillance footage. But there was no confirmation of more than one person firing shots.

If anyone has a right to "go off" on gun violence it is her; she sees it every day.

In the 30 years through March, 78 public mass shootings occurred in the U.S. -- incidents in which four or more people were killed at random by a gunman murdering indiscriminately, according to a report issued that month by the Congressional Research Service. These crimes don’t include gang-related killings or domestic disputes where a person slays relatives or other people linked to the murderer.
.
The mass slaughters listed in the report caused the deaths of 547 people. Over the same three decades through 2012, that’s less than a tenth of 1 percent of the 559,347 people the Federal Bureau of Investigation estimates were murdered in America.

Let's ignore that a single 'verified crazy' nut was allowed security clearance with multiple previous gun charges by blaming guns.

Similar to how a terrorist attack by a muslim terrorist yelling 'allahu akbar' at Fort Hood was ignored by identifying him as an American soldier and the crime, workplace violence.

Seems we can't handle the truth. Or the media/government isn't interested in the truth.
