she thought the Washington, D.C. Navy
Yard was undergoing a Fort Hood-style
attack when she heard a total of nine shots
on Monday morning, as a gunman opened
fire on workers at one of the Navy’s largest
facilities.
And she added that she wished she could
have carried a gun to work with her.
‘A group of four of us were getting coffee
down the hall and we heard three “pop,
pop, pop” sounds,’ said Pat – who asked
MailOnline not to publish her last name.

‘We all looked at each other and froze. And
I said, “Oh, Jesus, here we go again. It’s
another Fort Hood.”’
Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan killed 13 and
injured 30 others in a jihad-inspired attack
at the Texas military base on November 5,
2009. A military panel recommended a
death sentence for Hasan on August 28.
Pat, who lives in a northern Virginia suburb
of Washington, D.C., said she heard
another group of six gunshots after the
first barrage.
‘They couldn’t have been more than 30 or
40 yards away. We didn’t hear people
screaming or anything. I mean, these are
military folks we work with. But within a
half-minute everyone was rushing down
the hall and headed to the emergency
exits.’
‘I heard lots of voices saying, “Let’s go!
Now!” and in a minute or so I was outside.’
She spoke with MailOnline at a satellite
parking lot adjacent to Nationals Park,
where family members of Navy Yard
employees met their loved ones.
Although she emerged unscathed, Pat said
she would have felt safer if she had been
permitted to carry her own gun to work.
‘I’m a gun owner, and so is my husband,’
Pat said, ‘but I work in D.C. so I can’t carry
a weapon. Now I wish they would let us do
it anyway. I felt like a fool walking around
unarmed after shots were fired.’
