There have been 10 separate shootings in Washington, D.C., since the night of Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2013, not counting the rampage at the Navy Yard on Monday morning, police told The Huffington Post over the phone. The number reflects only those shootings to which police responded.

Those 10 shootings left two dead and an additional 13 wounded.

Metropolitan Police Department spokesman Chris Kelly told HuffPost no arrests have been made in any of those shootings. Police have not identified suspects in several of the incidents, including both homicides, Kelly said.

The shootings did not capture the attention of the national news media. Even among many local outlets, most of the shootings were ignored.

Five separate shootings occurred between 10 p.m. Thursday night and 8 a.m. Friday morning in various neighborhoods across the city. One of the incidents occurred on 14th St. Northwest, a popular area full of bars and restaurants, but most were in lower-income areas.

Last year, Washington’s murder rate was 13.91 murders per 100,000 people, according to calculations made by D.C. Homicide Watch, a community reporting project that aims to cover every murder in the city. Homicide Watch points out that this is the eighth-highest murder rate per capita among U.S. cities with populations greater than 500,000. In early January, Washington Mayor Vincent Gray said there were only 88 murders in the city in 2012, which officials boasted was a “historic low.”

Still, 88 murders per year equates roughly to a Navy Yard-sized tragedy about every two months.

At press time, the death toll of the Navy Yard massacre was at least 13 people, including the alleged shooter.

“A dozen or so” people gathered for a candlelight vigil at D.C.’s Freedom Plaza last night, reports the Washington City Paper:

“How immune are we becoming to these senseless mass shootings?” Eddie Weingart, the vigil’s organizer and the founder of Project End Gun Violence, asked the ceremony’s participants, who were flanked by twice as many media members. “Mass shootings are becoming as American as apple pie and baseball.”

NEW YORK — Rep. Jason Chaffetz’s (R-Utah) accusatory tweet is only one example of a meme now making its way through the conservative community: that somehow “political correctness” — a refusal to judge employees, especially in the military — is responsible for the Navy Yard shooting.

At a conservative monthly gathering here called the New York Meeting, South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson, who gained notoriety for shouting “liar” at President Barack Obama, said that the military had failed in recent years to do proper “threat assessments” of individuals, and that the Fort Hood attack in 2009 was the result of the failure to properly supervise the assailant, Nidal Hasan — and that the same laxity of supervision might have been at work at the Navy Yard.

“There have been six different internal attacks within the military on fellow troops” in recent years, Wilson said. He agreed with a questioner that there had been a “change in the culture” and that “political correctness” had produced an atmosphere of lax supervision.

After the Boston Marathon bombing, Reddit users attempted to figure out who the culprits were, leading to “online witch hunts” that resulted in falsely fingering individuals.

On Monday, Reddit took steps to make sure that didn’t happen again in the aftermath of the Navy Yard shooting, shutting down a section known as a “subreddit” that sought to identify the shooter.

“We banned it because it violated site rules by encouraging the posting of personal information,” Erik Martin from Reddit told the Washington Post. “The quote from the side bar that subreddit [sic] that was banned said ‘no personal information about leads unless you are really sure.’ We do not allow the posting of personal information under any circumstances.”

Navy Yard gunman Aaron Alexis reportedly suffered from “a host of serious mental issues, including paranoia and a sleep disorder … [and] had been hearing voices in his head,” according to the Associated Press.

However, the Navy had not declared him mentally unfit, which would have rescinded his security clearance.

Navy Yard gunman Aaron Alexis “was described as a Buddhist who had also had flares of rage, complained about the Navy and being a victim of discrimination and had several run-ins with law enforcement, including two shootings,” according to the Associated Press.

Washington, D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray called the shooting “a horrific tragedy,” but said there was no indication it was a terrorist attack, although the possibility had not been ruled out.

Senate Sergeant at Arms Terrance Gainer said after authorities determined the slain Navy Yard shooter acted alone that all operations at the Senate would return to normal on Tuesday.

Slain Washington Navy Yard shooting suspect Aaron Alexis had “secret clearance,” the CEO of The Experts Inc. told Reuters.

“He did have a secret clearance. And he did have a CAC (common access card),” said Thomas Hoshko, CEO of The Experts Inc., which was helping service the Navy Marine Corps Intranet as a subcontractor for HP Enterprise Services, part of Hewlett-Packard Co.

Meditations on the roots of violence were front and center Monday during an evening prayer service at the Washington National Cathedral.

A layman at the nation’s house of worship, Andrew Hullinger, led several dozen worshippers in prayer not only for the victims of Monday’s mass shooting at the Washington Navy Yard, but also for “the lost, who seemed to believe that violence was their only option.”

Washington police Officer Scott Williams was identified by authorities at a Monday night press conference as having been wounded in the shooting at the Washington Navy Yard earlier in the day.

Washington Police Chief Cathy Lanier said in a press briefing that “we have the single and sole person responsible” and police are lifting the “shelter in place” order.

Roads were closed for blocks. Businesses shut down. People in nearby buildings were instructed to stay inside. The Senate went into shutdown mode, planes at nearby airports were grounded, and the Nationals, whose baseball stadium is blocks from the Navy Yard, called off their scheduled evening game against the Braves.

Navy Yard employees — there are roughly 3,000 of them — were allowed to leave the complex by 3:30 p.m. Monday, having been on lockdown for hours. And slowly, hundreds began to fill the empty streets and make their way to the nearby Metro station. Some stopped for a few minutes to talk to reporters about their experience.

“Terrifying,” said Gregory Dade, who said he locked himself in his office as gunfire carried on for nearly an hour outside his door.

Read more of the report from HuffPost’s Jennifer Bendery here.

Washington Mayor Vincent Grey provided new information in a press conference on the deceased: Their ages are 46 to 73 years of age. Seven families have been notified.

NBC News reports on the weapons Alexis had with him on Monday:

He packed an assault rifle and two other firearms during his lethal rampage — including a shotgun purchased just weeks ago at a Virginia gun shop, multiple law enforcement officials told NBC News.

The officials also said Alexis obtained the assault rifle used in the shooting from a gun safe on the naval base. There’s where he may have also obtained a handgun, according to authorities.

From Time:

The Navy “did not effectively mitigate access control risks associated with contractor installation access,” at the Navy Yard and other Navy installations, the report by the Department of Defense Inspector General’s office says. Parts of the audit were read to Time by a federal official with access to the document.

The risks resulted from an attempt by Navy officials “to reduce access control costs,” the report finds.

Navy Vice Admiral Bill French has placed the number of Navy Yard casualties at 27, including 13 dead and 14 wounded. The shooter is among those killed. All 12 people killed by the shooter were civilians, French said.

USA Today reports that at least some of the weapons used in the assault were purchased by Aaron Alexis in Virginia over the last few days.

“It’s a shocking experience, nobody expected this,” Anthony Little, brother-in-law to deceased shooting suspect Aaron Alexis, told NBC 4 in New York. “No one saw it coming, no one knew anything. So all of this is just shocking.”

Little has asked the media to “back off a little bit” to give the family time to process the incident.

From the White House:

Today the President called FBI Director James Comey to express his gratitude for the quick response of Bureau personnel to this morning’s tragic shooting at the Washington Navy Yard. The President also received an update on the ongoing investigation, being led by the FBI. The President commended the FBI and all of the federal agencies involved for their close coordination with the local officials during the ongoing response.

The Washington Post reports that Navy Yard shooting suspect Aaron Alexis worked for “The Experts,” a Hewlett-Packard subcontractor. Read the full story here.

Navy Yard employees are getting a free ride home Monday night, compliments of D.C. Metro, a Metro police officer told HuffPost.

One Metro officer angrily refused to confirm whether the news of the free rides was true when a reporter entered the Navy Yard Metro station and asked.

But another officer pulled the reporter aside and said it was true, and that a police sergeant had recently come into the station to notify the Metro employees working there.

Roughly 3,000 people work at Navy Yard in southeast D.C.

HuffPost’s Sam Stein reports:

One lawmaker decided that the elephant in the room wasn’t really worth avoiding. From Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), one of the loudest gun control advocates in the Senate, comes this statement:

I mourn those killed today at the Navy Yard in Washington and send my thoughts and prayers to those families grieving the loss of loved ones. There are reports the killer was armed with an AR-15, a shotgun and a semiautomatic pistol when he stormed an American military installation in the nation’s capital and took at least 12 innocent lives.

This is one more event to add to the litany of massacres that occur when a deranged person or grievance killer is able to obtain multiple weapons — including a military-style assault rifle — and kill many people in a short amount of time.

When will enough be enough?

Congress must stop shirking its responsibility and resume a thoughtful debate on gun violence in this country. We must do more to stop this endless loss of life.

During a press conference Monday evening, Metropolitan Police Department Chief Cathy Lanier said law enforcement officers are working to verify or clear the last person of interest and the investigation remains active.

The U.S. Navy released a PDF fact sheet on Navy Yard shooting suspect Aaron Alexis. He had won two awards during his military service, a National Defense Service Medal and a Global War on Terrorism Service Medal.
