What police believe to be two shooters, including one in fatigues, killed at least four people and wounded eight others at the Washington Navy Yard on Monday, throwing the region into fear and chaos as authorities tried to contain the incident.
At least one of the shooters is down, police said mid-morning, but it was unclear whether that means the suspect has been arrested or shot. They said the another suspect may remain at large, and police believe they have pinned him down in a building on the installation in Southeast Washington.
