The MPD have issued a statement describing that the shooter at the Navy Yard in Washington D.C. may be armed with several weapons.

They have described him having at least one assault rifle on him, but the account has not been confirmed.

At least four people have been injured during the Navy Yard shooting in the Naval Sea Systems Command building, with no fatalities reported as of yet.

The suspect has engaged police in a standoff after barricading himself on the grounds. WUSA 9 describes him as a black male, 5'10" to 6 ft. (178-182 cm) tall, weighing 170 lb. (77 kg).

He is reportedly wearing a black shirt and black hat.
