[1]Washington: Several people were killed and as many as 10 wounded today in a shooting at a building at the Washington Navy Yard. A defense official, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, said several killed, as many as 10 wounded in shooting.
The Navy said shots were fired around 8:20 a.m. (1220 GMT) at the Naval Sea Systems Command headquarters, where about 3,000 people work. The number of the victims and their conditions was not immediately known, though the Navy said multiple people had been injured.
Police and federal agents from multiple law enforcement agencies responded to the scene. Ambulances were parked outside, streets in the area were closed and flights at Reagan National Airport were temporarily halted.
A US Park Police helicopter hovered over the building and appeared to drop a basket or a stretcher with a person onto the roof. Naval Sea Systems Command is the largest of the Navy's five system commands and accounts for a quarter of the Navy's entire budget. It builds, buys and maintains the Navy's ships and submarines and their combat systems.
