tim got the whole washington game. he knew that for all of the tributes to him and the speeches and people getting on tv to talk it was allhe knew about the people left to scrape their way up the pecking order, and tim knew all about this. that is one of the reasons he was so successful and one of the reasons his personality was that. tavis: there was a lot of funny stuff in the book. the scout -- scalpers stare. the four head stare. thehis happens to me all of time because nobody wants to be talking to me. them, start talking to and they will look over my scalp to see who more important is in the room that they can be talking to instead of me. it happens in every city. i think it is pretty pronounced here. tavis: how did you get anybody to cooperate with you for this book? and before you answer that, let me put the complete question out, because in my mind, i see two sides of this coin. on the one side, if you are in washington, and you know mark is writing this book, you do not want to be anywhere near him. stay away

washington, d.c. being about ten square miles in area so it is not a massive area and everybody was affected. as you heard the president when he -- spoke and addressed the nation earlier today. he indicated he was keeping track of everything taking place on capitol hill -- consume -- washington navy yard. you heard mike viqueira say his speech was delayed 20 minutes because of it. we have new numbers now, my producer is telling me in my ear, the number of shot was, 12 shot, seven dead. and these numbers are coming in from reuters. and a police officer is confirming the new fums. the new numbers new numbers. look for two suspects, one of the gunmen is now believed to be dead, the two others mike viqueira wearing military garb which has to send chills to official washington, especially in the major nadal hasan situation. mike, is mike there? >> we do have our shot up. there was a naval commander that walked by, on site during the shooting, happened 8:00, going on more than five hours, he described a har

tragedy in washington, d.c. we learned from washington empty police, 12 people have been killed as a result of this massive shooting around 8:15 this morning. what you're looking at, the washington navy yard. something we have now learned here in the last few moments at cnn. a government official with detailed knowledge of this specific shooting investigation has told us that the dead shooting suspect has already been fingerprinted and identified. that's all we know, but this individual has been fingerprinted and identified. also we know at this hour, think of the loved ones. think of the moms, the dads, the husband, the wives, who have family members who work, 3,000 people work at this washington navy yard, so they're all, if they're not there already, heading to right next door, washington national stadium, which by the way, has canceled that braves game tonight. instead, it's now changing the use, now allowing family members wait and hope to be reunited with their loved ones who had been sheltered in place fo

needs to change washington that the nuclear program the civilian nuclear program is an excuse for washington to impose this sanctions it's not a reason and until they come to terms with it. will never give up its rights. going to jump in go ahead for a head. ok we actually have a fire alarm here but i just want to jump in to say that this conversation is a little too slanted and biased it's it's both sides that need to compromise it's not just washington iran has a whole history of deceiving the international community about its nuclear program it's documented it's on record this isn't information that should be debated but i've been told now i have to leave the building so that i you are now you know. i think you have. i think you need to. for one thing brookings one knows that it's actually a pro israel think tank that does spew out these reports and there's inaccuracy is so i think that you need to come to terms with what is actually real and what is not and there is no there is absolutely not one iota of truth in what you just mentioned iran has always been transparent about its nuclear

one is at george washington hospital. much of the washington area has been shut down. as law enforcement authorities try to deal with this. the white house has been briefed. we don't know the progress of this situation inside the navy yard. obviously, there is no news media inside there at this point. we are going to have to wait formofor more information, carl. >> some conflicting reports. some said flights were halted, some said some delays. any clarity on how it has affected transportation. >> i would not imagine that that has been lifted yet. because you've got so much of law enforcement that is focused on this one area. when they don't know exactly what's happening, they do a lot of things on a precautionary basis. i don't believe that to my knowledge, amtrak trains have not been halted. one metro stop near the navy yard has been shut down. i think we are going to have to wait and see as this develops over the rest of the morning. >> we did get -- there were some tweets from metrorail saying that one of their entrances had been reopened in the early part of the 9:

because of the toll of gun violence in the civilian streets of washington, d.c., washington hospital center has extensive, extensive experience treating gunshot wounds, so much so that army physicians and navy physicians train at washington hospital center to ramp up their gunshot treatment skills before they deploy into combat zone. the chief medical officer for that facility acknowledged that experience today, that they have had to develop, and then she sort of let loose with some emotion about what it means about us, what it says about us as a country, that that combat trauma experience is needed here at home. speaking today on a day when it very much was needed here at home. >> we see a significant number of gunshot victims here at the hospital center, and i will tell you that between working with our partners that are the first responders, who are excellent at initial stabilization and then bringing them here, we actually are very, very successful in having people live through these multiple gunshot wounds. the other thing that i would mention to you is that we have a very close

washington used other forms of deception. there was one case when washington was substantially cornered on a sand bar in the middle of the river in pennsylvania. the british officer cut the lead in the day and he figured he didn't really want to do an attack in the dark. so they camped on the shore and they did their thing with dinner and so on, leave the americans alone. periodically they would check during the night and saw the camp fires burning across the water. in the morning when they went to attack, washington was gone. of course he did the same thing i think it was entrenched in, where they marched through the snow. it was some as a forced march. nobody expected they could cover the distance they did. so they had a surprise attack. the surprise attack is hit-and-run. this is kind of deception. he put out false intelligence about what their positions where. he had messages that were communicated or capture. it was misinformation. so anyway, washington you know was often on the front lines try to encourage his men forwa

navy yard here in washington, d.c. but there's a multiple -- there's a multitude, shall we say, law enforcement agencies on the scene. you mentioned the fbi, u.s. military police, d.c. metropolitan police. it looks like everybody has moved into this area, evan. >> yes, that's right. wolf, there's a very -- this is an area in washington because of obviously of all of the different threats that are faced with the federal government and the military facilities in this area, they are very well practiced in this area. the d.c. police, for instance, does a lot of drills. they roll out on multiple reports of bags that are left unguarded or unattended near metro stations or outside of public buildings. i mean, multiple times a day these guys roll out to try to secure scenes. so this is something that they are well practiced in. the joint terrorism task force is part of this as well. they -- this is a grouping of the federal agencies and the local police of this entire area and they are all well practiced in trying to secure pl

washington d.c. police are going on eyewitness accounts and leads on two other people. >> we have the finest folks to make sure no one else is injured and bring potential folks to justice. it is circumstanceual and we don't know yet. but i am confident in our first responders to bring the folks to justice. like i said, it is difficult and potentially anned in job. i know that the government worked hard to make sure there is full accountability and we will find them and bring them to justice. i am curous what you thought when the choppers were hovering over the building and also using that open side of the platform and using it for two snipers that were trying to figure out. how dow think they did today? >> they did great. i am always proud of men and women on the front lines and emergency responders. it is a testament to the strength and willingness to make sure no matter the cost, we make sure they are rescued and safe. >> and your mind goes to fort hood and the scenes of tragic on the military base

this is not washington, d.c. this is not good. so we have got to work to get rid of this. >> this was dr. janis orlowski, medical director at that facility in washington, d.c. joining me now is ej dionne of the "washington post" and thomas perriello, ceo for the action fund. gentlemen, thank you for joining us tonight. i want your reaction to this. my reaction to that is that, you know, the folks who provide all the care under tremendous duress, it takes a toll on them, as well. and i thought that it was almost therapy for that doctor to step up and to be able to say that in front of the microphones tonight, and whether our lawmakers are going to make any changes or not remains to be seen. but the fact is, workplace violence in this country is going to be under a microscope and behavior of people with firearms is always going to be under a microscope. ej, what did you make of that doctor making that statement in the heat of all of it? >> i say god bless dr. orlowski. i hope everybody in the country sees that. let's get rid of this

craig, i'm curious, you worked here in washington, you've covered washington. these are the time of events, frankly, we all fear living in washington, that there's -- because we're the capital, that it could be a magnet frankly for crazies to come and do something. here we ended up with oun of these. i'm watching the city handle this, your own personal reaction to it. >> reporter: you know, i don't think a lot of folks realize, chuck, this is a military installation that really is, you know, smack dab in the middle of the city. i mean, it's very much not just a part of this community. this is -- this is -- >> the neighborhood. >> reporter: an anchor of -- yeah. yeah. i mean, and just -- you know, a half a block away, they're throwing up these new condominiums. this mixed-use facility that they're going to have, this is very much part of the redevelopment effort here for washington, d.c. and there's a lot of foot traffic. this is -- this is a part of the city where there are a lot of people walking about. there's a baseball game that's going to be happening this

washington, d.c. police, and the fbi say the report after shooter still inside this washington navy yard. the parking lot, the building in the background we would assume that would be the building in question. but that's just an assumption we are making. u.s. navy reporting on twitter they are on the lookout for a gunman somewhere on this campus, southeastern washington, about two miles from the u.s. capitol building. >> we are taking a look at the live shot on the left hand side of your screen. you can see civilians on the street watching trying to figure out what's going on. at 8:20 a.m. this morning, here come the ambulance streaming down the street in front of the washington navy yard. the pentagon is saying three shots were fired at buildings 197 which is the navy c command buildings. at least one injury confirmed at this point as we watch the ambulances pull up in front of the building. obviously this is a great concern. they are trying to figure out who this person is and locate this person. th

washington adopted the deception in all kind of things for example washington encouraged the development of the team's. a very small numbers of people and they were hunters. when they would go against the british, the officers would be sitting on horses way in back of the battlefield and they didn't go well and expose themselves with the sharpshooters could take off a british officer from 300 yards and they thought they were safe. all the americans could see is he is on a course. but the british officers were so frightened and they had no idea what they might do. so the british would tear off their insignia in the hopes they wouldn't be but of course they still sat on horses were. there is disorder in the field and washington used other forms of deception. so there is one case where washington is substantially corner on the big sandbar in the middle of a river in pennsylvania and the british officer got there late in the day he didn't want to start an attack in the dark so they can't on the shore and they did their thing with dinner and so on and periodically they would check during the

washington hospital center says it has received the wounded. in fact we saw some of them being taken by helicopter, airlifting the victims, rushing them in for treatment. and schools in the area have been on lockdown since this all started. it all started to unfold about 8:20 this morning when three shots were fired. initial reports were it took about an hour and ten minutes for them to get to the gunman. u.s. capitol police as we just heard have increased their presence all around the capitol building as a precaution and air traffic has been temporarily shut down at reagan national airport. let's bring in nbc's jim miklaszewski. jim, what's the latest you're learning? >> reporter: well, senior navy officials tell nbc news that at least a dozen people were shot in this shooting rampage at the navy yard and that four are reported to have been killed. now, those shot include a federal and a civilian police officer. the scene described to navy officials as being so chaotic that one individual was hiding under his desk on the telephone and describe

we talked to tracie potts out in washington, d.c. she is saying it's possible an officer may be down, may be shot in both legs and also a potential report of one person away from the scene also injured but we again, this is very fluid and a lot of changing information so it's not confirmed but a lone shooter is loose on the naval base. a shelter in place order is in effect for all navy personnel. >> about 3,000 people are said to work in the naval systems command building where this is all taking place so this is affecting thousands of people potentially. military pleas are responding, u.s. capital police responding and washington city police on the scene. we're notified that the capitol has stepped up security efforts on the capitol grounds and i did a quick search and this is all about 3 1/2 miles from the white house, from pennsylvania avenue so very close to the white house. we can tell you that elementary schools in the area are on lockdown so a very scary scene for students. this all broke out about 8:20 this morning eastern ti

joseph washington's autopsy photo. from the original negative, i printed onto technical pan film then transferred onto high contrast slides. from what you asked, i figured density slicing might do the trick. what's that? it's when you take each scale of gray and you print it as pure black and white. is that the best you can do, ray? matter of fact, i did better. and better. better. rush: so that's how washington knew the runner. and the walmart's super savings event is here! like this xbox 360. on rollback: you save $20. and this huffy cranbrook cruiser. on rollback: you save over $9! get more for your money at walmart's super savings event. yep.the baby's in there? how'd that happen? um...

washington said to his manager of mount vernon, lund washington, was his second cousin. when the bridge, the potomac, the burnt mount vernon, get out my books, and martha, presumably not in that order -- [laughter] he presumed he was going to lose everything. when jefferson eventually gets around to writing those famous words, our lives, our fortunes and our sacred on it, they sounded pretty rhetorical. a, they were for real. it was everything. it was all in. you had to be willing to do that. and he was willing. later in 1779, a british frigate comes up the potomac and lund washington says, okay, i'm going to send out this gift with fruit and presence to these the british captain. so he does that, and the british captain says hey, man, i'm just fishing for airing. i have no evil intent. he doesn't even know that this is mount vernon. so lund washington sends a report of this to george, sort of proud that he defended the homestead. and washington rights back and says, i am extremely distressed at what you have told me. you have sullied by honor. if it happens again, let t
