Best thread title
I live in downtown DC; place has been a nightmare all morning. Took me 1.5 hours to drive 8 miles to work in NoVA. So glad I went 395 to GW Parkway instead of 11th St. bridge; they closed the bridge right as I would have been trying to get over.

Dorner?
Doakes?
just can't seem to corner him
Apparently, someone was up above a first-floor cafeteria and just started shooting down into the crowd, followed by random running around and putting rounds into people. The local news site is just liveblogging away and redirects links for everything else on the site that way, wtop.com that is. Some indication there were multiple people shooting at folks (as in two people), but the chaos is going to keep that cloudy for ages. Dead bodies have happened, at least four in-hospital with gunshot wounds as well.
damn did anybody clap back?
I drove into DC today for my first day of work and was like NOEP and turned around (I mean, I tried to just ignore it but caved). I get a call while driving on Pennsylvania Avenue SE and I try to explain (in Spanish) why I'm not coming, that there's a shooter, people have died, police everywhere, too much traffic, and that I'm leaving and will call everyone when I get home. Oi. I tried to go to work 2 weeks ago but got sick and then had this nagging cough (still have it, but mostly gone and cough syrup works now [didn't before]). 2/2, 3rd time's a charm?
Great thread title! With incidents like these, with how pro gun some Americans are, I'm surprised no one has blasted back.
If you live in DC, take cover ad stay safe.
Considering at least some reports are saying "shooters", as in multiple- perhaps someone did end up returning fire besides the obvious security/police.
Nats stadium is across the street i wonder if the game will be canceled. i imagine stadium employees have to show up soon and the place is a fucking show
Posted in the poopdeck guns thread but yeah, shit is cray-cray around here. No way they play ball tonight.
looks like 8 confirmed dead now
Well, we've got a name (and possibly narrowing it down to a single shooter again) to go with our gunner.CBS's John Miller reports the Navy Yard shooter was retired Navy chief petty officer, Rollie Chance.
Is he dead/contained or still running amok?

Both CBS and NBC reported a name of the deceased DC gunman, via anonymous sources. Both CBS and NBC have now retracted the reports. Yikes.
posted this in the guns thread....
Heard on the news (unreliable, I know) 2-4 officers were shot. Anyone know about this? Pretty sure we have a resident DC officer on the forums.
