Aaron Alexis

Aaron Alexis: After the gunman was also killed in a shootout with police, authorities warned there could be two other potential perpetrators still at large. But at a late-night news conference, Cathy Lanier, D.C.s police chief, said Aaron Alexis, a 34-year-old one-time Navy reservist, acted alone, according to 660 News. In one of the most powerful cities on Earth, where security is of paramount concern, the notion of multiple perpetrators targeting a military institution raised the spectre of an orchestrated attack 12 years after al-Qaida terrorists commandeered a hijacked jetliner into the Pentagon and WASHINGTON The U.S. capital became the latest American city to grapple with sickly familiar scenes of chaos and bloodshed Monday when a former military man opened fire at the citys heavily guarded Navy Yard, killing 12 people. The FBI appealed to the public to come forward with information about Alexis, who was working as a military contractor after being discharged from the Navy two years ago. He was born in New York City but most recently resided in Fort Worth, Texas. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
