Washington Navy Yard Shooting: Notes From The Lockdown
"These sirens are never ending." "I have no idea what is happening." "Just got out of lockdown. Finding beer."
At least one gunman killed a dozen people on Monday at the Washington Navy Yard. The manhunt, and the potential of a second shooter, put buildings and schools in the area on lockdown.
Later in the day, fears of attacks required lockdowns in Senate offices and at the White House.
Its not surprising that many took to Twitter and Facebook to alert family that they were safe in the lockdown, but unable to exit their offices.
See Facebook, Twitter and Instagram posts from people on what it was like in the lockdowns during yesterday's events above.
