thank you for starting your day with us. >> they are trying to figure out why a navy service and defense contract employee went on a shooting rampage at the washington navy yard killing 13 people before -- 12 people before killing himself. >> new overnight police releasing the names of 7 of those victims. michael arnold >> peert doocy one of the first on the scene. i watched all of your coverage yesterday as it continued to unfold. you did a great job. what is the latest this morning? >> heather, the latest is that

we are now learning the shooter's recent past included a job at a subcontractor for hewlett-packard as a company called "the expert. he had his security clearance renewed this summer. we can confirm he had legitimate access to the navy yard as a result of his work as a contractor. he utilized a valid pass to gain tree to the navy yard. >> that clearance was granted despite two prior civilian arrests one for unlawfully discharging a weapon in 2010 and one for disorderly conduct. his time as a navy reservist came to an end because of those arrests. but contractors telling the

"washington post" a discharge from military is not a disqualifier for work there. gets his gig and aaron alexis was perched on a high floor inside building 197 shooting downward at innocent people just starting their workweek. he killed 12 people before authorities killed him. 14 were injured during the shooting spree. the victims who survived were speaking to authorities last night but many without bullet wounds are still going to be scared by the attack. they are telling all of the civilian and military plow es we will come together as a family. >> peter thank you so much. appreciate you getting up again for us. commander tim injuries was an eyewitness to the shooting. he describes the chaos and fear he felt as he and others fought

to survive. >> we are on the 4th floor which is where i work at and we hear 1, 2, 3. sounds like something like a cap gun. it was loud sounds because it wasn't that close to us. you have people running by telling us to get out of the building. we evacuate the building like we do for any other fire event. i end up on the backside of the building between the boiler maintenance facility and our building. the gentlemen that came out from the back of the boiler building is standing tenext to me talkin to me. he dropd in front of me i took off after that. seeing somebody die here is more of a relationship of you talking to god or you realizing just how fragile life is and how random it is and how quickly you are here and you are not. >> were you that close? >> i was this far away. to get into the building you have to get on to base a which means you have to have an id card attack card.

after that you have to have that tack card key for the people who work inside the building. if not you can check in with security at the front of the building. i have no idea who the shooters are how they got into the building how secure it is. if you would have asked that question at 8:30 this morning i would have said very secure it was a different story when i was running for my life. >> what can they tell us about the motive and should he have had security clearance to begin with. >> coo of the stefan group don burrell lee. >> let's talk about the criminal history of alexis. evidences raised twice before shooting into his neighbor's house shooting out tires at one point. how does someone with a criminal history like this get security clearance into the navy yard. >> i think that will be a key question that the investigation is going to work to find the answers. normally when you have an original security clearance it is very extensive.

it lasts five years they look at employment history, school history, they talk to relatives your friends your neighbors. i know when i went through any own internal investigation with the fbi it was a very lengthy process. nowadays they are a bit shorter a lot of it hadz to do with they have been contracted out to companies. if this was not his original security clearance but it was up for a five year renewal. >> he said it was renewed as recently as july i believe. >> not ohm are people looking today at how evidencesable to get on to that area and how he was able to get those weapons in. they are looking at his past history and wondering why and possible motive. is there anything in the past history that we have heard so far the arrest, the allegations

of being disturbed after helpin. his father said he suffered from ptsd, does that tell you anything in terms of a motive? >> i think a lot of that information is going to be answered in the days to come. i read different accounts where evidences frustrated about getting paid for certain contracts and obviously he hadz a history of anger management. you couple that with weapons it could be a deadly mix as we saw yesterday. >> done, let's ta -- don, let'st some of the weapons on him. ar 15 assault rifle a shot gun and a semi automatic pistol. how in the world did he get such a cash of weapons into the navy yard? >> as i have read in other reports he actually drove on to the navy yard using a valid credential. in this case it's likely that he pulled up to the guard gate he showed his credentials there's a picture on the credential that

looked like him. the guard waived him through. normally if it's somebody that is known they are not going to search the car every time somebody that's a known employee goes on to an installation as opposed to a visitor who has never been on the installation before may have to pop the trunk. my assumption, although i haven't seen it confirmed he drove the weapons on to the base. >> i have a feeling all of that is going to change. they will make security measures much tighter there. don borelli live for us in the studioings. now to an extreme weather alert for you overnight the death tole rising to 8 in colorado. this morning more than 600 people still unaccounted for in the flood waters. emergency crews on the ground planning more door to door searchs today. helicopters from the u.s. army and national guard will also be out again as they air lift hundreds more stranded residents to safety.
