i mean, you know, washington, d.c. has gun laws that are in place that, you know, there's always a way for someone with a plan and a mission to do harm to others who they're able to get those through. >> mr. willis, were you watching the screen just moments ago? we saw the gentleman with the ka k-9 in green camouflage. there's another unit. is that the unit we're talking about? >> i'm not watching the screen right now. i'm sorry. >> okay. i can tell you, if you're not you're missing good pictures as far as the television audience is concerned. please stand by as we continue to watch the developments unfolding, mr. willis, if you would. mike viqueira, you still with us? >> i'm, del. >> sl any change on the ground where you are? >> reporter: no. we're still awaiting the briefing. i have my eyes on the chief of police and the mayor of washington, vincent gray. they're 100 feet to the right of this press club at third street and m street southeast. they're being briefed by several officials on the scene here. there's atf,

we talked to tracie potts out in washington, d.c. she is saying it's possible an officer may be down, may be shot in both legs and also a potential report of one person away from the scene also injured but we again, this is very fluid and a lot of changing information so it's not confirmed but a lone shooter is loose on the naval base. a shelter in place order is in effect for all navy personnel. >> about 3,000 people are said to work in the naval systems command building where this is all taking place so this is affecting thousands of people potentially. military pleas are responding, u.s. capital police responding and washington city police on the scene. we're notified that the capitol has stepped up security efforts on the capitol grounds and i did a quick search and this is all about 3 1/2 miles from the white house, from pennsylvania avenue so very close to the white house. we can tell you that elementary schools in the area are on lockdown so a very scary scene for students. this all broke out about 8:20 this morning eastern ti

. >> a shooting rampage at the washington, d.c. navy yard, several people killed including one gunman. but we can tell you this threat is not over. a community still on edge this hour with authorities still searching for those two additional gunmen. good morning, everything, thank you very much for joining us, i'm john kelly. >> the tragic numbers are changing by the hour, but here's the latest, 17 people dead, another five wounded in the rampage. this all happened about 3 1/2 miles from the white house at this navy yard. we turn to danielle lee with the latest. >> reporter: we now know the shooter is dead and police are looking for two additional shooters that could be in the area. meanwhile the area where i am remains on lockdown. as you can see behind me, on alert and on edge. >> authors say a gunman possibly armed with a military style assault rifle walked into a building at the washington navy yard where 3,000 people work and started shooting. police say multiple people have been killed and even more are injured. >> he was sho

but today was the worst day in washington, d.c., in a generation. reporting on the story of what happened today in this mass shooting at the navy yard meant tallying up what seemed to be a new, higher death toll just about every hour over the course of the day. the latest information that we have is that 13 people lost their lives today, including the apparent shooter, and that 14 other people were injured in the attack. that puts today's incident in washington on par with the columbine shooting in 1999 or the aurora, colorado, movie theater shooting last summer or the binghamton, new york, shooting in 2009 at the immigration center there, and of course, the ft. hood shooting that took place later that same year, seven months later. until we know more about why this happened and how this happened today, it's hard to know whether to put this as the latest in a list of workplace mass shootings or the latest in a list of random mass shootings committed by the insane or the latest in a list of terrorist mass shootings committed by perpetrators who thoug

this is not washington, d.c. this is not good. so we have got to work to get rid of this. >> this was dr. janis orlowski, medical director at that facility in washington, d.c. joining me now is ej dionne of the "washington post" and thomas perriello, ceo for the action fund. gentlemen, thank you for joining us tonight. i want your reaction to this. my reaction to that is that, you know, the folks who provide all the care under tremendous duress, it takes a toll on them, as well. and i thought that it was almost therapy for that doctor to step up and to be able to say that in front of the microphones tonight, and whether our lawmakers are going to make any changes or not remains to be seen. but the fact is, workplace violence in this country is going to be under a microscope and behavior of people with firearms is always going to be under a microscope. ej, what did you make of that doctor making that statement in the heat of all of it? >> i say god bless dr. orlowski. i hope everybody in the country sees that. let's get rid of this

police chief and also the d.c. mayor in washington, d.c. at the moment also president obama is expected to come out for a previously scheduled speech regarding the u.s. economy. today's the day that marks the collapse of lehman brothers that helped contribute to the financial fallout across the country that people are still dealing with today. but this is the latest information we have now based on the shooting that occurred first report at 8:20 a.m. eastern time that is the navy yartd 1.2 miles south of the capitol building and washington, d.c. shots fire inside the navy yard and a massive police response inside by helicopter in the air. and also by emergency vehicles on the ground. the numbers we have according to the washington, d.c. mayor that you just heard from, four wounded, about but no firm number of fatalities. he also believed that it was an isolated incident, his words. that took place again around 8:15, with 8:20 this morning. then you heard the police chief say potentially and she stressed potentially there is pursuit now of t

it shows washington, d.c. you can see here it's a newspaper boy, some sort of possibly like a police officer, a official. this is a well-dressed woman. this is a coach or carriage driver. women with products of -- [inaudible] coming from charlestown, saint mary county coming up to washington, d.c., to the center market selling goods. this is went on for almost a century. this image kind of portrays that. as you can see, the capitol dome is in the back. okay, a fascinating fellow. as i mentioned earlier, john c. -- sorry. i mentioned this to mr. cole. frederick douglass -- 1847, starts the north starr niewp. he had a riff with william lloyd gareson. they a difference of opinion. douglass said i'm going to take matters to my own hands. he started the "north star." changed names a couple of times. he ran a newspaper in new york for 17 to 18 years. he retired ceased publication during the civil war, and he was looked on as most prominent newspaper man of his era. prominent black newspaper man of his era. john c. u

navy yard in washington, d.c. the accused gunman is a civilian contractor identified as 34-year-old aaron alexis of ft. worth, texas, he is dead. as are 12 victims and police officer among the wounded. we're expecting a live update in a few minutes and we'll bring that to you when it happens. back now to the investigation, we're learning brand-new details about the two additional people police were searching for. justice correspondent pete williams has been on this since it started. pete, what's the latest? >> the question has been one of the many questions has been whether there was more than one gunman involved in the mass shooting today and it's still pointing toward the possibility that it was just one person. there was surveillance video and eyewitness reports of others. d.c. police have said one of people they were looking for, a white male with a tan navy style uniform and beret has been identified and was responding, was not involved in the shooting. so all indications are that it was just a single gunman

back to our developing story the washington d.c. police chief says twelve people have now been confirmed dead after a shooting at a navy yard in washington d.c. witnesses say a gunman was shooting from the fourth floor people in a cafeteria reports claim two or three gunmen may have been involved in the attack two of them already killed though that information is confirmed several civilians and police officers are among the victims approximately three thousand people to work. the building where the largest of the navy's command systems is situated will bring you more as we get it. quick now to some other news happening around the world and salvage teams are attempting to right be grounded luxury cruise ship the costa concordia the eleven story line which is roughly the length of three football pitches is now being freed from rocks and moved onto a platform built on the sea bed the accident killed thirty two people when the ship ran aground off the island the italian island of giglio the operation is expected to last at least twelve

but today was the worst day in washington, d.c., in a generation. reporting on the story of what happened today in this mass shooting at the navy yard meant tallying up what seemed to be a new, higher death toll just about every hour over the course of the day. the latest information that we have is that 13 people lost their lives today, including the apparent shooter, and that 14 other people were injured in the attack. that puts today's incident in washington on par with the columbine shooting in 1999 or the aurora, colorado, movie theater shooting last summer or the binghamton, new york, shooting in 2009 at the immigration center there, and of course, the ft. hood shooting that took place later that same year, seven months later. until we know more about why this happened and how this until we know why this happen and how this happened today, it's hard to know whether to put this as the latest in a list of work place mass shootings or the latest in a list of random mass shootings committed by the insane or the latest in a list of terrorist mass s

shooting at the navy yard in washington, d.c. one report says a male gunman has a large shotgun an the fourth floor of this navy complex. barbara starr joins us now. barbara, tell us more. >> carol i just got off the phone with a u.s. navy official who says their reports are now that several shots were fired, several people inside the building have been injured. at this point it doesn't look like they've been able to evacuate any of the injured out of the building. he tells me that they are getting actually phone reports at the u.s. navy from people trapped inside while this situation goes on. they say security forces at this hour are entering the building to try to get to this person. let me just explain to people the location that we're talking about. in washington, along the potomac river in the southwest section of the city of the nation's capital, there is the washington navy yard, a very old, historic place, but a highly secure facility. this is a building called the naval sea systems command, several hundred people work in

navy yard here in washington, d.c. but there's a multiple -- there's a multitude, shall we say, law enforcement agencies on the scene. you mentioned the fbi, u.s. military police, d.c. metropolitan police. it looks like everybody has moved into this area, evan. >> yes, that's right. wolf, there's a very -- this is an area in washington because of obviously of all of the different threats that are faced with the federal government and the military facilities in this area, they are very well practiced in this area. the d.c. police, for instance, does a lot of drills. they roll out on multiple reports of bags that are left unguarded or unattended near metro stations or outside of public buildings. i mean, multiple times a day these guys roll out to try to secure scenes. so this is something that they are well practiced in. the joint terrorism task force is part of this as well. they -- this is a grouping of the federal agencies and the local police of this entire area and they are all well practiced in trying to secure pl

was there ever any talk of canceling the speech given what's going on in washington, d.c.? >> being president of the united states is a very tough job. and i think to be president you have to be able to deal at the same time with serious foreign policy crisis, with tragedies at home where our hearts go out to the families affected, but also, the core economic issues that affect the livelihoods and economic security of tens of millions of families. that's what being president is. it's being able to deal with all those things often at the same time. >> the president also talked a lot about the economic recovery, you know, five years since the economic -- the collapse of lehman brothers and there has been significant improvement in many parts of the economy, but talk to me about the frustrations that the president might have about the fact that we still don't have enough americans back to work. one of the biggest shockers in the latest employment report was that people are so discouraged they've stopped looking for work. >> well, i think what this report does is looks back at

she is live at the scene there in washington, d.c. she reported about an hour ago that the shooter has a history of misconduct and it's not clear whether he was voluntarily discharged from the navy or the u.s. military or not. regardless of the truth, when it comes out, how does one get hired as a defense contractor with that type of history? >> well, it depends on the background investigation and what type of vetting process. i'm not sure what the security level is. but, of course, the higher the security level, the greater degree of scrutiny there is in vetting an applicant. so, if it was for a loyer level unclassified position or some the lower classifications, the investigating process would be a normal employment process. so, some of these signs that would manifest itself the type of behaviors that trigger this activity might not have been present during that investigation. >> bill: that's a good point. mark, thank you. we will row lie on you for your insight coming up soon. mark by telephone sorting what we know and what we fran

an active shooting here in washington, d.c. somebody opened fire, a lone gunman at this point is all we know. we have folks going out there immediately trying to get the situation. no reports of any fatalities, but it aer 52s to be a loan gunman. we have a former fbi profiler and cliff, we are all getting quick first reports of what's going on. loan gunman and no fatalities yet. this is the navy yard. could be dealing with ex-military. what are you thinking about? >> where the shooting is believed to have taken place is in the fourth floor of a building that holds about 3,000 people that work there on a normal work day. we know the shooting supposedly took place at about 8:30. there reports of multiple people wounded as you suggest. we don't know about anybody being killed or motive or weapon. we know the d.c. police are on the scene. of course there will be military police on the scene and the fbi will have jurisdiction, but it's a fast moving situation. the question is is this alleged gunman still in the building that contain

washington, d.c. metropolitan police are all involved. the fbi its leading the scene. >> on a federal piece of federal property. evan, thanks very much. shots first rang out early this morning. brian todd has been covering the breaking news for all of us. all day. here is brian's report. [ sirens blaring ] >> reporter: first frantic calls to police came in after 8:15 a.m., shots fired several injured at the u.s. navy yard. >> i heard three shots. pow, pow, pow. 30 second later, i heard four more shots. and a couple -- they knew they were shot. and started panicking. >> i know i lost a friend. i worked in the pentagon years ago with the i belief to be one of the fatalities. >> came around the corner. aimed the gun. fired two or three shots. >> reporter: 3,000 people work at the facility miles from the white house and capital. >> thee was far enough down the hall, we couldn't seep his face. we could see him with the rifle. he aimed, raised it, and hit high on the wall. >> security was tightened around the capitol. schools nearby locked down

tragedy in washington, d.c. we learned from washington empty police, 12 people have been killed as a result of this massive shooting around 8:15 this morning. what you're looking at, the washington navy yard. something we have now learned here in the last few moments at cnn. a government official with detailed knowledge of this specific shooting investigation has told us that the dead shooting suspect has already been fingerprinted and identified. that's all we know, but this individual has been fingerprinted and identified. also we know at this hour, think of the loved ones. think of the moms, the dads, the husband, the wives, who have family members who work, 3,000 people work at this washington navy yard, so they're all, if they're not there already, heading to right next door, washington national stadium, which by the way, has canceled that braves game tonight. instead, it's now changing the use, now allowing family members wait and hope to be reunited with their loved ones who had been sheltered in place fo

live from right outside the navy yard in washington, d.c. we're learning more about the weaponry aaron alexis used when he massacred 12 people just blocks from here yesterday and the background check that he went through. i want to get to our pentagon correspondent, chris lawrence, who is live outside a gun store in virginia. alexis recently visited the store. chris, explain where you are and what you've learned. >> reporter: yeah, jake, basically we're learning some very new information about what aaron alexis was doing in the hours before he allegedly came on to the navy yard and started shooting. exactly one day before that, he came right here to the sharpshooters gun shop in lorton, virginia, a suburb of washington, d.c. he was here a few hours and basically what he did was, he paid the store to use one of their rifles. he also bought some ammunition for that rifle and he stayed here at the gun shop, at the target range. he did some target practice with that rifle and then he bought a remington 870 12 gauge shotgun. we're also told he bo

>> we've updated security alert in the washington, d.c. area. >> greta: it does look like one guy but it's under investigation. >> it's still under investigation. so, again, whafrt motives, why it happened where it happened we'll have to wait. >> greta: coming up more live fighting constipation by eating healthier, drinking plenty of water, but still not getting relief? try dulcolax laxative tablets. dulcolax is comfort-coated for gentle, over-night relief. dulcolax. predictable over-night relief you can count on. >>> earlier at the washington navy yard we spoke with naif yeah -- navy captain. >> greta: captain first what a harrowing expeer yechblts a lot of loss of life? >> i don't know the whole extent. we were evacuated by police from the building so you probably know more about that. i do know from colleagues dinot see, but i talked to colleagues later and they don't want to give names but i know, a colleague of mine told me a mutual friend of mine heard this. >> greta: where were you when you had an inkeling something was wrong. >> it

it's wednesday september eighteenth five pm in washington d.c. i'm sam sacks and you're watching r.t. and we begin in syria u.n. investigators are planning to return to the war torn country in the next few weeks to collect more evidence of alleged chemical weapons use this come shortly after a u.n. report published on monday concluded that syrian deaths had been used in an august twenty first attack outside damascus though the report didn't assign blame to who carried out the attack and while the u.s. the u.k. and france said the details of the report implicate the assad government russia another member of the security council argues that u.n. investigators overlooked evidence that suggested otherwise evidence that implicates the syrian rebels in the attack today russian foreign minister. said he. but ends of chemical weapons used by the rebels to the un security council and the cup. but as you can invest period they return to a country that still experiencing unspeakable. we know that they are ready to transfer to the u.n. security council and t

washington, d.c. being about ten square miles in area so it is not a massive area and everybody was affected. as you heard the president when he -- spoke and addressed the nation earlier today. he indicated he was keeping track of everything taking place on capitol hill -- consume -- washington navy yard. you heard mike viqueira say his speech was delayed 20 minutes because of it. we have new numbers now, my producer is telling me in my ear, the number of shot was, 12 shot, seven dead. and these numbers are coming in from reuters. and a police officer is confirming the new fums. the new numbers new numbers. look for two suspects, one of the gunmen is now believed to be dead, the two others mike viqueira wearing military garb which has to send chills to official washington, especially in the major nadal hasan situation. mike, is mike there? >> we do have our shot up. there was a naval commander that walked by, on site during the shooting, happened 8:00, going on more than five hours, he described a har

washington, d.c. navy ship yard. good evening i'm dan ashley. >> here is a look at aaron alexis. the man authorities say went on a rampage today armed with an assault rifle, shotgun and handgun before being killed in a shootout. >> alexis was among the 13 killed at the ship yard. about a dozen others had been injured including two law enforcement officer autos police are still searching for a second possible seen on surveillance video. the navy yard snot far from washington national ballpark. >> reporter walter perez with our sister station is live in washington, d.c. now with the latest on what's happening. walter? >> well, dan, carolyn a confirmed death toll is 13. that does include alleged gunman identified as a 34-year-old aaron alexis of fort worth, texas. tonight they continue searching for a possible second shooter, it was like a scene from a war zone, people were rescued by way of a basket lowered from a helicopter. inside witnesses say it certainly looked like a war zone as well. >> p.o.w., p

>> we've updated security alert in the washington, d.c. area. >> greta: it does look like one guy but it's under investigation. >> it's still under investigation. so, again, whafrt motives, why it happened where it happened we'll have to wait. >> greta: coming up more live coverage. stay with us.

next door to washington, d.c. is a pretty good draw. but at some point in time, this issue is really about who has the best idea about how to grow america, how to put americans to work. and it's the private sector. >> i agree. 90% of our jobs have come from the private sector since the bush era -- >> but your job growth has been abysmal compared to states last texas. >> last year we led the region -- >> we had this dialogue earlier about low-paying jobs. i want to ask from that perspective, the city of baltimore, one out of every four people is in poverty. wouldn't they be better off to have a job, even if it was a minimum wage job? >> oh absolutely. there's dignity in all work. every job is important. this year, we moved more of our citizens from werfel into work. that's important. but what i'm trying to underscore here, newt, is that there's a mix required. you have to not only cut your budget and be willing to be fiscally responsible, you have to be willing to make the smart investments that actually improve the levels of education f

the reason being so much of the washington, d.c. security apparatus is so very close to the washington navy yard, so when the first calls went out of shots fired there was a massive response. and this is one of the more curious scenes that we saw throughout the course following this is the scene of civilian workers as you can see here in most cases, hustling out of that building with their hands over their heads. just a number of one of the scenes we watched as the horrendous story unfolded throughout the course of the day, and the man who was there out there for us, our white house correspondent, mike viqueira is on the line for us. mike where do things stand with this investigation? >> tony as far as the information we have got, the last weird we heard was there was still a person of interest, that person at large. we don't know where that person is, but we're 11 hours into this tony. there is still a lockdown or modified lockdown in place around the navy yard here. the navy has announced that only mission-essential personnel shou

attorney for washington, d.c. while we continue to see fire rescue representatives there, and waiting to hear what the bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms has to say. we'll go to kimberly, our correspondent in washington, d.c. we did hear a couple of things but not very much more about aaron alexis himself. >> no, we did not. we did hear that there is that tremendous collaboration taking place. this is a large scale investigation being headed up by the fbi. one thing that i did hear that was striking was that he was committing this crime not with a high power assault weapon. they said he had a shotgun and apparently a handgun once he got inside. clearing up erroneous information. many people asked as this was unfolding, how was it that this crime could be committed in a secure facility? did he have legitimate access? now we know from this press conference that he did. he had a military issued i.d. a government issued i.d. that allowed him unfettered access to the navy yard but facilities all across the united

been in washington d.c. and here's what's coming up tonight on the big picture all opponents are already predicting its death obamacare is really working out just as planned in the future could it be brighter for health care in america more on that in just a moment also today over one hundred people demanding the immediate passage of immigration reform were arrested outside the u.s. house of representatives it's clear that our immigration system needs to be fixed so what's going to pay for house republicans to get their act together and pass a bill and believe it or not the vatican is moving in the right direction tell you why in tonight's deleted. you need to know this according to a management memo leaked to the press trader joes will drop health care for part time workers and will instead give them a five hundred dollars annual check to pay for a new insurance plan it has conservative screen that we're all going to be paying for the cost of health care for low income workers and as liberal scratching thei

it's here in washington, d.c. [ sirens ] >> we are hearing multiple shots being fired right now. we did hear that there is an officer down. so, we don't know if this officer down is one of the three folks we heard that was shot, but again, just seconds ago, we heard multiple shots being fired and then officer down. >> it seems right now people are rattled, but right now there's still a heavy police presence, s.w.a.t. vehicles are still being driven into the navy yard. it's being circled by helicopters here. >> i just wanted to point out, more police assets moving in here now, unmarked vehicles. this has been all morning. >> schools are in lockdown mode. u.s. capitol police have increased security around the capitol. >> just three gunshots straight in a row, pop, pop, pop. three seconds later, it was pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, so it was like, about a total of seven gunshots. and we just started running. >> you heard that the traffic, the street traffic in that area was shut down. the metro stations in the area were shut down, the subway stations, but we've also been told that the d.

it is one of the worst things we have seen in washington, d.c. that's how the city's police chief described today's shooting rampage that killed 13 people including the gunman. dozens including a police officer were hurt. and the shooting happened in building 197 of the washington navy yard. the building is just a couple of miles from the u.s. capitol. one with witness described what happened when the shooting happened. >> he was far enough down the hall where we couldn't see his face but he aimed and fired and hit high on the wall just as we were trying to leave. >> federal and local law enforcement officers rushed to the scene. people inside the building were ordered to stay there. only to be escorted out a few hours later. there are still many questions about what happened but here's what we know so far. d.c. police say at least 13 people including the gunman were killed. the city's mayor says several people were hurt. three people including a police officer were critically wounded. police say a gunman, 34 aaron alexis was killed, investigator

let's get the latest live from washington, d.c. reports are still sketchy, but we hear at least two people have been injured? >> reporter: the number has risen to at least four according to local news reports. one of those shot apparently may be a washington, d.c. police officer. he may have been shot in both legs. there are also reports coming from our sister network here in the u.s., nbc news, suggesting that the shooter is still very much on the loose and may be in possession of an ar-15, a semi-automatic rifle. there are questions whether this person may have barricaded him or herself perhaps on the navy yards grounds. there are 3,000 people assigned to work at this naval installation. they have been told to shelter in place, to stay where they are, don't come outside until it's been cleared for them to do so safely. the video that identify been seeing coming in from the scene shows a lot of military police with rifles, a lot of d.c. police with rifles and apparently the s.w.a.t. team, the emergency response police squad from a
