Naval Yard shooting


On Monday, September 16th navy reservist Aaron Alexis passed though security with his civilian contractor ID. He did not have to pass though a metal detector and proceeded to the fourth-floor bathroom, opened his bag and went to the balcony and started his rampage. Before this tragic event occurred he was a felon and had two gun charges in the past 9 years.

Why is it that when this events happen there is always a huge warning before hand and no one seems to care until the problem surfaced?

Many warnings could be wrong. Many times, people have given out false information.

A lot of times people fail to see the real situation. Family members and loved ones of mentally unstable people have a hard time believing that the person is indeed in an unstable place. I believe that is why a lot of times these kinds of people are left to their own accords and not put in mental hospitals and the like.

Mentally unstable people are just ridiculous and horrible when situations like these occur.

no matter how big or small a sign is you must take it into consideration. it is indeed a sign that needs to be recognized for its abnormality. as for the thing where he wasnt checked through a metal detector, as a military institution i feel their guards must always be up. Because once your guard is down thats when danger and tragity always strikes. he probably realized he could literally get away with murder because he was always under the radar. they need to always keep their guard up.

For anyone who may have lost someone in that shooting, it must've been terrible. Believing that one of the 'supposed' safest places to be, and there's a shooting. For those who know Evan Wray, we would feel the same way if we would've lost him.

Sadly, most issues are ignored or overlooked because individuals believe that these incidents won't occur again but when they do the circumstances are often tragic.

This could have been avoided if we change our security, like having routine background checks on new and current employees. search everyone for weapons, regardless is they come to work everyday or have certain clearance. This is just common sense stuff, but we dont enforce these kinds of policies and tradegies like this occur.

Shootings like this keep happening and the government does little in response. There is always talk about laws getting passed but little action has actually been done. When will the government say enough is enough and try and get something started to restrict gun ownership?
