Question about Naval Yard shooting. I'm puzzled why the announcement to leave the bldg didn't

include the fact that there was a shooter/shooters in the building. Even the fire wardens who came racing thru the bldg didn't mention the shooters. Why not warn people about an armed rampage?

This is the BBC interview with workers who were shot at as they fled.

automated.

The fire wardens ran around getting people out--they may have known "This is not a drill" but they may not have known more than that.

We will know more when we learn who pulled the alarm.

- as it's still unfolding. They've just upped dead to at least 7 and say there may be 2 more shooters hiding in the building.

Anything about what went on at this point is conjecture.
