Navy Commander Tim Jirus talked to The Washington Post about witnessing the shooting at Navy Yard in Washington, D.C. this morning.

Jirus says a man got shot as he was speaking with him.

The Post's video is embedded below:

The Associated Press talked to another witness, who described the shooting and told reporters how difficult it is to get into the Navy Yard buildings without scanning a security card.

Several people were killed in the shooting and nearly a dozen injured. It is so far unclear how many shooters carried out the act and who is responsible.
