Early Monday morning at 8:20 a.m., shots were fired at a Washington Navy Yard killing 12 people and injuring 14 others, according to the Navy and local officers. Also killed was 34-year old suspect Aaron Alexis military information technology contractor and former full-time Navy reservist who previously lived in the state of Texas, but the FBI believes that there might be another gunman on the loose.
The police released the names and ages of the 7 of the 12 people killed that were identified were military personnel.
-Michael Arnold, 59
-Sylvia Frasier, 53 -Kathy Gaarde, 62
-Vishnu Pandit, 61 -John Roger Johnson, 73
-Frank Kohler, 50 -Kenneth Bernard Proctor, 46
More information is being discovered and reported as local officials and the FBI investigate. I feel that this is a terrible tragedy in America, only 5 days after the 12th Anniversary of 9/11. Amongst the conflict that our government is encountering with Syria, now the world is heart-broken over this. We cant as a nation allow ourselves to get involved in other country's conflicts when we have our own here in America.
