While hardly reminiscent of Chicago during peak shooting hour on a weekend, news of occasional shootings in the US is becoming increasingly more prevalent, the most recent report coming from a Washington Navy Yard, where the police reports at least three people were shot by an active shooter. As WaPo reports [5], "D.C. police are looking for a suspect they say shot at least three people at the Washington Navy Yard on Monday morning. According to a police spokesman, there is an “active shooter” on the grounds of the Navy Yard in Southeast Washington."
