Quote"The big concern for us right now is that we potentially have two other shooters that we have not located," she said.

She described one as a white male in a tan short-sleeve military-style outfit and beret hat. He was last seen about 08:35 local time carrying a handgun.

A black male approximately 50 years of age and wearing olive kit was seen carrying a long gun and is also being sought.

Jesus, there's one shooter. 

EYEWITNESS TESTIMONY FTW!

Hey, those guys sound like MPs from different branches. The kind that tend to work at large military installations. Like Marines on Navy bases. Or something.

From what I heard from the Navy boyfriend that just got home, it sounds like someone stole someone's ID, and drove people on base. Easy enough to do.

There's one shooter.  Not "people".  Bet you.

Ask me how I know.

Yep, that's one reason...And every witness is being honest in what they PERCEIVED.

The other reason is how it went down.  Multiple shooters would have had more than a commesurate body count, and would have had two of the gunmen in position to attain a crossfire on the police and EMTs.

They saw a "Black man in an olive uniform with a rifle."

Look at the black cop in the picture.  What's he fucking wearing?  An olive uniform.

Yep, totally makes sense. Guy went postal, MPs and cops were everywhere. People see guns and get upset. Easy enough.

Also, the shooter used the ID of another employee to gain access.  That employee was black.  So, there was a little bit of confusion there.

Too bad there weren't any armed teachers there to stop him.
