Shooting rampage at DC Navy Yard

Throwing this out there to keep an eye on it.

One of the first teams of heavily armed police to respond to Monday's shooting in Washington DC was ordered to stand down by superiors, the BBC can reveal.

A tactical response team of the Capitol Police, a force that guards the US Capitol complex, was told to leave the scene by a supervisor instead of aiding municipal officers.

The Capitol Police department said senior officials were investigating.

...

Multiple sources in the Capitol Police department have told the BBC that its highly trained and heavily armed four-man Containment and Emergency Response Team (Cert) was near the Navy Yard when the initial report of an active shooter came in about 8:20 local time.

The officers, wearing full tactical gear and armed with HK-416 assault weapons, arrived outside Building 197 a few minutes later, an official with knowledge of the incident told the BBC.

Hell's bells! Not just an AR, but an M203 combo! WTF, NBC?!

So have y'all heard about this new assault weapon that is even more deadly than the dreaded AR-15? It uses high capacity shells, with as much power as 3 or 4 assault rifle rounds, and fires multiple projectiles (potentially hundreds!!!) with every shot. We have banned full autos for the children, so why are these instruments of destruction still allowed to be sold in sporting goods stores across the nation?!?!

And let's not forget it is one of the few weapons of mass destruction that has an excess of ammo sitting on the shelves where little children can walk up and touch it unrestricted.

KSWO App.......

There's a "retraction " from the AP on the navy yard shooting case recanting the reports of an ar-15 being used. Maybe they are catching enough flak finally!!!

Nice choice of words.

They've pretty much done the intended damage already, nobody pays much attention to retractions.

Reporting on a mass shooting in Washington, CNN doesn't let a lack of facts get in the way of drawing speculative conclusions. (06:53)
