Еще одно массовое убийство
Sep. 16th, 2013 02:21 pmНа этот раз в столице, в Washington D.C.
Police say a gunman opened fire at the Washington Navy Yard Monday morning, killing 12 people and triggering an hours-long manhunt and lockdown blocks away from the U.S. Capitol building.
Washington, D.C. police chief Cathy Lanier confirmed the shooter was killed in a confrontation with law enforcement, bringing the total dead to 13. A search was continuing for a black male in his 40s or 50s described as wearing green military-style clothing. The police department said in a tweet that a white male initially being sought was not a suspect or a person of interest.
Three people — a D.C. police officer who was shot in the legs as well as two civilian women — were being treated at Washington Hospital Center. The officer was injured when he exchanged gunfire with the shooter, Lanier said.
Dr. Janis Orlowski, the hospital’s chief operating officer, said Monday afternoon that the officer and one woman who was shot in the shoulder were undergoing surgery. The other woman was injured in the hand and had a bullet graze her head without penetrating her skull, and did not need surgery, Orlowski said.
