Washington: Survivors of Monday's deadly mass shooting at the Navy Yard in Washington D.C. recalled harrowing scenes of panic, improvisation and personal loss. At least 12 people were killed in the incident.
"It was like pop, pop, pop," Patricia Ward, a logistics management specialist who was at the Navy Yard cafeteria when the shooting took place, was quoted as saying by Xinhua.
"And in a few seconds it stopped and then pop, pop, pop, pop, we were just flailing."
Witnesses said a gunman opened fire from a fourth-floor overlook on people in the cafeteria of Building 157. Others spoke of a gunman firing in a third-floor hallway. It was not clear whether they were describing the same gunman or separate ones.
