Active Shooter at Washington Navy Yard, Reports of Multiple People Shot

this is a fake story. DC has very strict gun laws. there's no way there can be gun violence there.

their is nothing mandatory about "shelter in place"...it is voluntary and a request,

Like I said .. it's a 'shelter in place ORDER' ... not 'shelter in place REQUEST'.
The very words of the order say ... ORDER. They dont' say REQUEST.

National Terror Alert Center - Shelter in Place Order

Example of Shelter in Place being mandatory - Mandatory Shelter in Place Order issued

press conference right now

www.nbcwashington.com...

reporting at least TWELVE fatalities

I'm getting mixed reports on the MSM channels about the shooting being in the base or right outside of it.

Please Flyers...

You are playing with semantics to further a falsehood.

Was Boston Actually on Lockdown?
What "shelter in place" really means

“The lockdown is really voluntary, to be honest with you,” says Scott Silliman, emeritus director of the Center on Law, Ethics and National Security at Duke Law School. “The governor said he wants to use sheltering in place.

The “shelter in place” request is legally different from a state of emergency

You can find all you want online. I work with people at WNYD every day of the workweek. Others here have as much or more knowledge of it. It is most definitely considered a base, regardless of what you're reading on Wikipedia.

The persons ID used to enter the building was he arrested at home or just questioned?

Latest information from the Base to all base personnel (including me) as of 1408 hrs:

"The crisis situation at the Washington Navy Yard is still active and entry/exit to the base is suspended. The situation continues to unfold and immediate resolution is not expected. Shelter in place is still enforced".

police chief confirming they are still on the lookout for 2 more people involved with the shooting


sidenote: can we stop fighting about the "shelter in place order vs request"?

No .. I posted information straight from the US government on what a shelter in place means.
Sorry .. but the folks in DC are on mandatory shelter in place.
It's SMART for them to stay inside and out of harms way.
But it's not voluntary. It's an ORDER.

Whatever. You aren't going to listen ...
Moving on ...

DC is governed by a general of the military.
It is a order from a general.

Why do you keep beating this dead horse? If you leave the areas that are under shelter orders you will pay a consequence and don't tell me that people in this situation on this thread are wrong.

UNDERLINING the important part for certain posters.

TV NEWS just said that Shelter in place will be enforced for at least a few more hours ...

DC mayor just called it Naval Command Seat. I understand that "base" stands for "base of operations". This used to be a shipyard and ordnance production facility. Now it is a complex, but not a base. Naval base is at Norfolk.

You are confused...ALL "SHELTER IN PLACE" are voluntary...If it was a legally enforced "ORDER" it would not be a "Shelter In Place"...It would be a "State of Emergency" It is like a storm or tornado warning.

They can call it an order...but they are still without legal consequences. Tornado warnings are the same thing...Yet they don't arrest storm chasers.

What are the moods of the people with you?

Semantics, call it what you want. Coming from personal experience in dealing with it on a daily basis, its a base, in addition to whatever else you wish to term it as.
