    Wolf Blitzer just told viewers to be cautious about the information they are hearing right now.

    Do not believe what you are hearing on our station.

    Very close to Nationals Park, yes? I know it's the same Metro stop.

    WaPo is backing away slowly. Now reporting "as many as two shooters".

    Nicely done WaPo.

    Jesus.

    Police say "two 'potential' shooters" on the loose.

    Same Metro stop, yes. There are two exits for that stop; the one right in front of the Navy Yard/DOT and the one at Nats Park, which is a block or two west.

    Apparently, the team was told to stay home for now, do not come to the park.

    Six dead including one shooter, two shooters on the loose, according to the Navy:

    MSNBC seems pretty confident there is only one shooter.

    If that's true, it's really wild the D.C. Police Chief would make the comments she did.

    CNN confirming that there was a shooter.

    MSNBC is reporting the shooter was an African-American male.

    I'm not sure how his race is relevant.

    Very good friend of mine is about 15 minutes away from it, and says it is pretty crazy right now.

    Thanks. I would not have guessed that.
