There were 2 shooters at the Navy Yard. 1 is down

What police believe to be two shooters, including one in fatigues, killed at least four people and wounded eight others at the Washington Navy Yard on Monday, throwing the region into fear and chaos as authorities tried to contain the incident.

At least one of the shooters is “down,” police said mid-morning, but it was unclear whether that means the suspect has been arrested or shot. They said the another suspect may remain at large, and police believe they have pinned him down in a building on the installation in Southeast Washington.

Rick Mason, a program management analyst who is a civilian with the U.S. Navy, told the Associated Press that a gunman was shooting from a fourth floor overlook in the hallway outside his office. He said the gunman was aiming at people in the building’s first floor cafeteria.

David Stevens, a Navy contractor, was on the phone talking in building 197 when he heard an initial volley of shots fired. He heard people shouting that a shooter was on the building’s fourth floor.
