At least seven people are dead after as many as three shooters dressed in military style uniforms opened fire in a rampage at the Washington Navy Yard on Monday, police said, spreading fear and chaos across the region as authorities tried to contain the incident.
Lanier described one as a white male wearing what appeared to be a khaki tan military uniform and a beret, and carrying a handgun. She said police also are looking for a black man, about 50, wearing an olive military-style uniform, and possessing a “long gun.”
Authorities have confirmed at least seven fatalities, including the shooter. The dead shooter had an assault rifle and a handgun, two law enforcement officials said. One said he also had a shotgun.
At least two police officers were among those shot.
Police on the scene said one is a D.C. Metropolitan Police officer who was shot twice in the leg and was evacuated to a hospital. The other was a base officer.

He was about 40 yards away but close enough for them to see he was clad in blue and had a weapon.
"He was a tall man, appeared to have dark skin, looked like he was in some kind of uniform and he had a rifle," Durham said.
"No words. He raised the gun and started firing," he said. "He said nothing."
