Gunman kills 12 and injures 15 at Washinton Navy Yard rampage

Aaron Alexis (pictured right), opened fire and
killed 12 people this morning Monday
September 16th at the Washington Naval Yard
in Washington DC before being shot and killed
by responding officers. The 34-year-old who
worked as a civilian I.T contractor at the
military base, entered the complex's cafeteria
around 8.30am brandishing an AR-15 semi-
automatic rifle, shotgun and handgun and
began shooting.  It is thought that he used
another employee of the base's identification
card to gain entry to the heavily secured
Building 197, where he carried out his deadly
attack. A aron killed 12 people and injured at
least 15, who are all in critical conditions.
Aaron, from Fort Worth Texas, served in the
U.S. Navy for almost four years before being
kicked out in January 2011 for 'misconduct'.
The motive for the killing has not been
revealed though there are speculations that it
could be connected to his dismissal from the
U.S. Navy. RIP to those who lost their lives.
