Fox News — and it seems only Fox News — is reporting that there was a shooting incident Saturday afternoon in Washington, D.C.’s Navy Yard district.
A friend just sent me this photo. There was a drive-by shooting outside of Novel and 10K in Navy Yard—in the middle of the day.
This is your daily reminder that crime in Washington is out of control and Mayor Bowser is an abject failure. pic.twitter.com/if08b6ibNc

I heard the shots from inside the building — sounded like probably a dozen shots. Strong police presence here.
Navy Yard folks: stay safe🙏🏻 https://t.co/lTDh7g8Lf3

Sarah Iddrissu, chief of staff for Rep. Jamaal Bowman, tweeted that all the Republicans in Navy Yard are about to become pro-gun control:
All the Republicans in Navy Yard are about to agree: we need gun control https://t.co/DKtd9DIO31

This is certainly one way to react to someone talking about a shooting outside their building.
I think most folks around here are focusing on making sure their none of their friends weren’t just killed, actually

Call me a skeptic, but I highly doubt firearms used in crimes of this nature were acquired lawfully and legally

Yeah. DC doesn’t have any gun control laws.

Because DC has super lax gun control laws.

No they’re gonna wish they had a gun themselves if they were unarmed

Hearing gunshots doesn't automatically make people morons.

Just a hint for @SarahIddrissu:
When you tweet out something this blatantly stupid, the correct response is to delete the tweet, not lock your replies. https://t.co/C6HGVyKBer

There were an awful lot of people reminding her that D.C. has some of the most strict gun control in the nation.
