11:25 am
being told 12 people dead out there and we want to check in with nbc right now, they're doing a special report talking about the chaos and some gunmen still on the loose. >> this is an nbc news special report. >> good day once again, we're coming on the air to update you on an event in washington, d.c. this morning that is now a mass casualty event, a mass shooting at the washington navy yard. here is what the chief of the metropolitan police force cathy lanier just told members of the news media outside the scene. >> right now we have multiple pieces of information that would suggest that we have at least two other individuals that were teamed -- style uniforms that does not mean, we do not know if they are actual military employees. but these are people that we
11:26 am
really believe are involved in some way, we're trying to locate those systems. >> that has to do with the ongoing manned hunt, what we do know is the death toll has risen to 12, 12 dead in this single incident. we believe that number includes the shooter or a shooter. again, right now the emphasis is on the search for two other individuals who my, may have been involved in this. of course this takes on a lot of the qualities of the -- you see the response at the washington, d.c. naval yard this amp. tracking it all day has been our justice correspondent pete williams. for those who have perhaps just joined the coverage. reset this for us, when did this happen and when did we start to find out that was a mass casualty event?
11:27 am
>> this started just before 8:00 a.m. eastern time at the washington navy yard. because of a large confluence of law enforcement agencies, there was a huge response, first to get a perimeter around and then find out where the shooting was happening and get it stopped. now, most of the shots were fired relatively early on in this process. that had wounded and killed people. but, as you heard the police chief say, rather cryptically, reason to believe there were two other shooters. we're told that that evidence is in part surveillance video, that at least one man, a man she described as a white man in a khaki uniform. you see that person leave the frame and that western -- not clear whether the person was
11:28 am
shoot inging at the victim or - based on this video, and eyewitness reports, that's why they're looking at the possibility, i guess the best way to say it is, investigating the possibility that there could be other people involved. as for the person suspected of firing the majority of the shoots inside building 197, at the washington navy yard, that person is dead. we're told that is a 34-year-old man from texas. here's where the story gets complicated, brian. near him was found an id badge belonging to another person who worked at the washington navy yard. that person was detained by washington, d.c. police at home and is now being questioned. a key question at this point is, how did the man who fired the shots inside the navy yard get that id? is there any connection? is it just someone who lost a
11:29 am
badge. that's what police are trying to determine at this point. so more unanswered questions, what's the motive? why did that happen? why the navy yard? that we don't know. we do know the man that's dead that fired the majority of the shots was heavily armed. he came into the facility this morning dressed in black, carrying a shot gugushotgun, a style handgun and an assault rifle. >> this is a military base where weapons are familiar and prevalent and, pete, this kind of mass casualty event puts it on par with a ft. hood and aurora, colorado. >> is its a terrorism like ft. hood or is it more like a pork place shooting, that's the question. >> pete williams has been tracking the story all morning and will of course be a large part of our coverage when we come on the air tonight with what we know for nbc "nightly
11:30 am
news." we wanted to update you, though, that the death toll has risen to include at least one shooter at the washington, d.c. navy yard. we'll stay on it, we'll be back on the air with any extraordinary developments. i'm brian williams, nbc news, new york. #. >> so that is the very latest there coming from new york. be sure and stick with nbc news for our coverage on the navy yard shooting. you can also go go to n nbcbayarea.com. >> we'll continue covering this, again, that death toll has risen to 12 people out there at the naval yard in washington, d.c. make sure you can get the latest information, nbcbayarea.com. - [groans] - well played, lemon.
