Shooting at US Navy base in Washington, many killed - The Times of India
WASHINGTON: Several people have been killed and as many as 10 wounded in a US Navy Yard shooting in Washington on Monday, a US defence official has said.
A defense official, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak during an active attack, said there were also several injuries.
The Navy said shots were fired around 8:20am (1220 GMT) at the Naval Sea Systems Command headquarters, where about 3,000 people work.
The exact number of the victims and their conditions was not immediately known, though the Navy said multiple people had been injured.
Police and federal agents from multiple law enforcement agencies responded to the scene. Ambulances were parked outside, streets in the area were closed and flights at Reagan National Airport were temporarily halted.
A US Park Police helicopter hovered over the building and appeared to drop a basket or a stretcher with a person onto the roof.
Naval Sea Systems Command is the largest of the Navy's five system commands and accounts for a quarter of the Navy's entire budget. It builds, buys and maintains the Navy's ships and submarines and their combat systems.

This indicates that US has got poor security of their armed forces, thus it can be concluded that their nukes are prone to reach terrorist hands. Un should take control of their nukes. Does it sound familiar.
