Washington Navy Yard shooting: Capitol Police to review response.
September 17, 2013BBC News
On Monday Aaron Alexis, 34, shot and killed 12 people at the Washington Navy Yard. In a BBC report it is being said that a highly trained and heavily armed four-man Emergency Response team was on site but was told to leave the scene by their commander. If the team were to have stayed and entered the Navy Yard there was a much higher chance that less lives would have been lost. The Capitol Police Forces Chief Kim Dine has asked it to conduct "a comprehensive, independent review of the facts surrounding the Capitol Police's response to the Navy Yard Shootings."
In my opinion before pointing fingers at the commander who allegedly ordered his team to leave the scene there needs to be a full investigation into the facts. But if what the BBC report is saying is to be true I would agree that these men should not have been pulled as there could have been early intervention of the shooter before lives were lost.
