who is this aaron alexis?e armed with that fire power and able to get to where he was, and why was he shooting? >> mayor gray said at the last press conference there was no known motive and also said, based on what he is being told by law enforcement, there is no reason to believe this was terrorism-related. even congresswoman el for holme said, will hold judgment. doesn't take a terrorist for this activity. >> she said we have not had a day like this since 9/11 and with good reason. she was very concerned that people withhold judgment on why this happened until we have real answers because she says this neighborhood has come back and it's revitalized and she doesn't want what people might think about this or the reasons behind the shooting, without the facts to sully in the neighborhood's reputation right now. >> absolutely. going back to that navy captain we just heard from, he said there were bullet holes in the ceilings, and when matt asked him, one of the reporters, have you comprehended the idea it could

there is the brief sketch much aaron alexis. heidi dhou what did that restaurant owner tell you about aaron alexis? >> he's not just the restaurant owner, he was aaron alexis's best friend. his word. as this moment we believe a plain clothes officer walked in there and requested to speak to the owner. we have yet to confirm what lined of questioning he is going under but he did tell us quite a bit of revealing things about the suspect aaron many alexis earlier. he said he was alexis's roommate for three years from 2010 until just about five months ago. he says that he allowed alexis to move in with him when alexis was kicked out of an apartment here in fort worth. earlier you mentioned tony that in 2010 alexis was arrested, it was the only thing on his criminal record. he was rat arrested for discharg a firearm. he told police he accidentally shot his gun and shot through ceiling. he wasn't charged with anything. there are a lot of questions and police are very interested what this restaurant owner last to say. >> jimmy: than >>

parlev. >> the shooter has been identified as 34-year-old aaron alexis of ft. worth texas. posted photographs of mr. alexis on our web site, and we ask anyone with information contact it as 1-800-call fib. no piece of information is too smile. we're looking to find out as much as we can about his recent moms, contacted and associates. this is a very active investigation weapon currently have our evidence response team moving in to process the scene where the shootings took place. we will also continue to run down every lead and we will continue to work together on this investigation with our law enforcement partners. again, we ask the public to look at the photos of the deceased shooter and contact the fbi with any and all information. thank you. >> there is any indication mr. alexis had a military background? >> no other questions until we get -- >> thank you. >> chief. >> thank you for the opportunity just to say that what you're seeing here is the teamwork that goes into every law enforcement and public safety enterprise here in the d.c. area every day, and as you'll lea

she told police that she was terrified of aaron alexis. so it's interesting to go back and read that report from three years ago and see how it plays into all this. >> thank you very much. we'll hear more about this. and drew griffin talking about this issue if it takes a regular civilian a few moments to find this on google how did this person pass security clearances and be allowed to rejoin the navy in the capacity of a contractor. he lived in fort worth, texas and worked at the restaurant you just saw. and i spoke to bud kennedy who met alexis at the restaurant and i asked him his impression of this man. >> he was a quiet and unassuming waiter. he was working there as part of his friendship with the owner of the restaurant. this is close to a navy reserve base in fort worth. he was a quiet and bookish kind of fellow. i was surprised when i walked out. i thought he seems more like someone you would see at a library than waiting tables at a thai place. >> it seems that that fits from what we have heard from a roommate of his for three ye

earlier in the day he told us that aaron alexis was his best friend. escribed alexis as a gentle and nice person, and he was stunned to find out that his friend could possibly be behind this atrocity. here is more of what he had to say. >> i kind of opened up the restaurant and he asked me, hey, i can help you. i don't have anything to do right now. and i'm like. yeah, if you want to help. that's why we become close friends and stayed in the same house for almost like three years, so, you know, we become friends since then. >> now we also spoke with another friend here of aaron alexis, his name is michael. he is a handyman at this restaurant. and he described his friend aaron alexis in similar terms as a person he never could have imagined turning violent. but he said say there was one indication of something that in his eyes were strange, he said it was weird that a 34-year-old man would be so obsessed be violent video games. >> aaron seemed like a really nice guy. the only negative thing i can say is the played video games all the time, the shooting k

as the nation struggles with the aftermath of the massacre carried out by aaron alexis, people closest to him are trying to square his actions with the man they thought they knew. alexis moved from place to place in recent years but we know that he spent a good deal of time in ft. worth, texas. that's where he became friends with michael, who joins us now. thanks for being with us. what's the first thing that went through your mind when you saw alexis' face on tv yesterday afternoon? >> yes, sir. i appreciate you asking me that. first of all, just to let you know, my heart goes out to all the innocent victims and i just never would have seen anything like this coming with aaron. he didn't seem like that kind of a person. so you know, we're hearing more and more things as the days go by, but certainly we would have never guessed that aaron would be capable of pointing a gun and actually shooting a person, let alone many people, so it's just -- it's a really hard thing to handle because he was like a friend, a family friend, a brother to me, and so i don't understand what set him off. >>

based on family accounts, a source with knowledge of the investigation says aaron alexis had trouble sleeping in recent years, was hearing voices in his head. law enforcement sources say he made contact with two v.a. hospitals for psychological issues. a defense department official says alexis had eight instances of misconduct in the navy before his honorable discharge in 2011. police records say he had three arrests between 2004 and 2010, one for disorderly conduct, two for gun-related offenses, including an incident when he fired two shots into the tires of a construction worker's car in seattle. >> an arrest for gun violations should have disqualified him. >> reporter: disqualified him from getting a secret security clearance, according to sheldon cohen, an attorney who specializes in that. cohen and other attorneys say a private firm does background checks on civilian contractors for the government's office of personnel management. opm checks the information, cohen says, then passes it to the defense department. there's one office in d.o.d. that then determines whether someone get

that interviewed some friends of aaron alexis. we understand that he actually was charged in 2010 with the unlawful release of -- he fired a weapon in his apartment and the weapon, apparently the gunshot went through the ceiling of his apartment and narrowly missed his neighbor downstairs. she's interviewed by a fort worth newspaper reporter saying back in 2010, in fact, she filed a report with the police and lived below aaron alexis. he often complained about noise and then lo and behold she was sitting in a chair one evening and a bullet came through her ceiling. >> jennifer, i found it interesting 13 people are confirmed dead so far, exact same number as fort hood. we also heard, maybe you can confirm it, 9:22, an hour and two minutes after the initial reports of shots fired at the navy yard, department of homeland security came out, made a statement, statement or e-mail, not sure, saying there's no connection to terror. did you hear that, do you think they jumped the gun on that? >> reporter: what we did hear, we heard d.c. ma

we can confirm that the deceased shooter from this morning has been identified as 34-year-old aaron alexis of fort worth, texas. we have posted photographs of mr. alexis on our website, fbi.gov, and we ask anyone with information about him to contact us at 1-800-call-fbi. no piece of information is too small. we are looking to learn everybody we can about him. >> at a certain point this afternoon, john, employees began to stream out down m street here towards the media. we all approached them asking about their experience, what they saw and heard. they were told not to speak with us, a few of them actually said that to us. others simply kept walking by. but there was one individual who described convening an 8:00 meeting this morning with his team. >> we had heard the previous gunshots, and we heard gunfire and we looked up, and there were two bullet holes in the top of the wall of the conference room. it was maybe an inch or two down from where the ceiling meets the wall. >> at this hour, john, details are still really rather sketchy, but we do know that there were at least 12 individuals

more than 24 hours have passed since the suspect, aaron alexis, opened fire.re learning more about a mostive and how he carried out the rampage which left 12 people dead. >> we are joined from washington, dc, at the navy yard, with more. >> good morning, kristen. at the navy yard the building behind me is reoning as police continue to develop clues of the suspect. we learned this man might have had a grudge against the navy. >> the f.b.i. says 34-year-old aaron alexis, a former navy reservist, is behind the terror at washington's navy yard. >> we have an active shooter on the 4th floor. >> 12 people were killed. eight were injured. he died in a gun battle with police. >> we now feel comfortable we have the single and only person responsible for the loss of life. >> this morning, authorities urgently seeking the public's help to find out more. >> we are looking to learn everything we can about the recent movements and contacts and associates. >> in brooklyn, authorities questioned the suspect's family as they searched for a motive. sources tell abc7 news that h

tonight police are at a hotel where aaron alexis is believed to have been staying. at have you learned? >> reporter: earlier today we got a tip from our joe johns that alexis had talked to a woman and told him he was staying at this hotel in southwest washington the residence inn by marriott. just about two miles away from the navy yard. so we came over here earlier today to check it out. actually, as we were arriving, so were a number of law enforcement vehicles, a number of washington police cars. a number of unmarked cars, at least one fbi vehicle. our producer jan izzo and i went into the lobby and were inside talking to hotel employees who were being very categoriy. then we were asked to leave for a quote security reasons and we kamg outside. investigators, ander zorn, have been in the hotel for about two hours now and the hotel doors are locked. they are not letting anybody in there, but we are still seeing some law enforcement officials arrive and come and go, anderson. >> and very briefly, peter, the bottom line, any word on how long this guy was allegedly st

the same law enforcement sources in washington are now telling nbc news that it appears that aaron alexis the building armed and that one of the first persons who was shot was the security guard at the entrance. it is believed that mr. alexis then took the guard's sidearm and either picked up the assault rifle from a safe/cabinet nearby or the guard was also armed with a long gun. so, as pete williams was suggesting earlier this hour, having one weapon when he approached the building, shooting a security guard and taking either one or two guns off of that guard or away from that guard post. evidence collection team said to be expected on the scene throughout the day tomorrow. they are still determining the number of rounds fired. but again, the two pieces here of information are the reported locating of the rental car in a garage across the street from the building where the shooting happened and at least reports from law enforcement sources in washington about how accessing the building may have happened, including with those weapons. it was about 2:30 p.m. eastern today when nbc's pete

their killer, aaron alexis was no enemy to stormed the main gate. >> we can confirm that mr. exis had legitimate access to the navy yard as a result of his work as a contractor, and utilized a valid pass to gain entry to the navy yard. >> reporter: now defense officials and members of congress are asking whether security at military installations has been too lax. many with valid military ids can walk or drive on to most installations without ever being searched by military police. visitors are usually screened and their cared inspected. >> i think the military needs to start random inspections of all vehicles. everybody has to have random car inspections. >> the navy secretary as ordered a security review at u.s. installations. his boss, the defense secretary later said he wants that to cover around the entire world. an audit found that navy officials had attempted to reduce costs in screening contract workers, and that meant 52 convicted criminals received authorized access. access the agency called unacceptable. the admiral who oversees naval security says he welcomes a cha

today for the first time we have reaction from the mother of aaron alexis. she apologized to the families of the murder victims. >> my son alexis has murdered 12 people and wounded several others. his actions have had a profound and everlasting effect on families of victims. i don't know why he did what he did. aaron is now in a place where he can no longer do harm to anyone. for that i am glad. to families of the victims i am so very sorry that this has happened. my heart is broken. >> president obama will be attending a memorial service to honor the innocent victims. it will take place this weekend as the president shares in the nation's grief. >> randall pinkston, randall, before i let you go, can we talk about what secretary hagel talked about. there will be multiple reviews to make sure nothing like this happens again. there will be reviews from the department of defense. one from the navy and completely independent review as well. >> as well as the office of opm, office of professional management, will be undertaking a review. what we have learned even

you'll recall yesterday pretty much as soon as authorities named aaron alexis as the shooter, aaron alexis, age 34 of ft. worth texas. it was the ft. worth texas police department, that released this arrest record from the time alexis was arrested there in 2010, he was arrested for discharging a firearm inside his apartment in ft. worth. other than just the weapons charge and the arrest itself, what was particularly of interest was the upstairs neighbor. saying in that police report that she was terrified of him. that was the first police report that came out very early in the day as soon as we learned he was from ft. worth. then a few hours later, yesterday afternoon, it was the police department in seattle, washington saying they too had a police report from arresting aaron alexis, this happened in 2004, when he shot out the tires of a construction worker's car. he confessed to police officers that he had done it in what he described as a rage fueled blackout. he said it did it because he felt that the construction workers on the site next to hiss home had disrespected him. what seemed p

thomas hoshko says they are pulling the time cards for aaron alexis.ut he believes it was last week or this week he started this work there. he is a defense contractor that works, obviously, on jobs, refreshing computer systems at these various naval installations. he worked with a team of seven people. according to thomas hoshko no one all summer long reported any problems with this person whatsoever. the company is cooperating with the fbi and meeting in person with the fbi investigators tomorrow. we believe -- mr. hoshko believes that work began -- mr. alexis at the navy yard began last week or this week. they are trying to get clarity on that. >> it's face fascinating to hear that he worked at other positions and other bases throughout the summer. so the question is why lash out at this one? was it just the first opportunity he had to the it or the first that something occurred that made him focus on this particular navy yard. again we don't have the answer to that. but it certainly we are getting pieces and pieces together. do you have anything on

>> well, aaron alexis was a resident of fort worth. he worked at the station in fort worth. he worked that a thai man with the man you just heard from. that man claimed he was aaron's best friend and they were roommates for four months. that ended when aaron apparently left fort worth and took the job in washington. we also spoke to another friend today who was an acquaintance of aaron u alexis. he says that every time he saw alexis, he was playing video games and violent type of video games. the kind where you shoot around corners. not at targets, but at people. >> so i understand this friend said it was like an obsession with video games. >> it was. in fact, we were all invited to his apartment to watch football one night but he never came out of his room but once or twice. he stayed online playing these violent video games where you shoot people. he says, this guy wanted to play with me and i'm going to pick him up on it. >> did he give any indication of a timeline, how long ago this was? >> well, he also said that some time last year that aaron alexis took a job with a su

. >>> and an exclusive interview with a woman who spent time with aaron alexis just days ago, aaron alexis just days ago, face-to-face with a killer. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com >>> and good evening, everybody. i'm erin burr nunett. we have breaking news in the investigation into the washington navy yard massacre. we are hearing now the first emergency dispatch calls from that chaotic scene yesterday morning. we just have those and i want to play it for you. >> we have a report on the fourth floor. a male with a shotgun. multiple shots fired. multiple people down. we have conflicting reports about the scene's security. we're sorting that out now. >> right now police confirm five people shot, could be others. >> can you give me a brief of how many we've taken to which facilities so far? >> all units in the main triage group need to move left. the ambulances in line, you can move left away out of the line of fire. >> we have an officer down building 197 on the third floor. there's also a female shot on the roof of building 1333. >> we're doing a sweep of the building for security.

but it still doesn't explain how no one was able to catch the red flags in aaron alexis' past. s employer, the experts this afternoon, released a statement again backing up claims alexis was properly screened, saying, we enlisted a service to perform two background checks, and we confirmed twice through the department of defense his secret government clearance. the company writes the latest background check and security clearance confirmation were in late june of 2013, and revealed no issues other than one minor traffic violation. >> now, drew, that's incredible, obviously, because as you said with your search, you were able to find about multiple arrests for violence and guns. and they found one traffic issue. now, explain what you found out about this, though, because the navy knew at least that he had a terrible record as a sailor, right? as they said less than stellar. how did the navy allow him to leave that institution with a security clearance, which although not the top, was a middle one, a very significant security clearance, security intact. >> right. yeah, officially
