Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 16 September 2013, Aaron Alexis, a Navy contractor employee with a Secret security clearance, shot and killed 12 U.S. Navy civilian and contractor employees and wounded several others at the Washington Navy Yard. Alexis was also killed. Alexis was employed by The Experts, Inc, a private information technology firm cleared under the National Industrial Security Program. The Experts was a subcontractor to Hewlett-Packard Enterprise Services, which was performing work under a contract with the Department of the Navy. Alexis had legitimate access to the Navy Yard as a result of his work as a contractor employee and used his valid building pass to gain entry to Building 197. Shortly after his arrival in the building and over the course of about one hour, Alexis used his Remington 870 shotgun and a Beretta handgun he obtained during the attack to kill 12 individuals and wound 4 others before he was shot and killed by law enforcement officers. On September 30, 2013, the Secretary of Defense initiated concurrent independent and internal reviews to identify and recommend actions that address gaps or deficiencies in DoD programs, policies, and procedures regarding security at DoD installations and the granting and renewing of security clearances for DoD employees and contractor personnel. This book discusses and provides an overview of the Washington Navy Yard Shooting. It also provides insight on the security from within.

Amidst the chaos, hundreds of workers fled for their lives. Those who weren't hit by the shooter's initial shots were quickly engulfed by the terror that followed.

She addresses workplace safety issues and pays tribute to the twelve people who lost their lives that fateful day. Praise for Shooting at the Navy Yard " ... The point of view from the middle of building 197 is good and shows what was going on in the author's mind, what her experiences were from what she saw, what she could hear, and what she felt as she hid under her desk ..." -Andrew Blanco

Book excerpt: On Sept. 16, 2013, Aaron Alexis, a Navy contractor employee with a Secret security clearance, shot and killed 12 U.S. Navy civilian and contractor employees and wounded several others at the Washington Navy Yard. Alexis was also killed. This is the report on the shooting by the Independent Review Panel appointed by the Dept. of Defense (DOD). It identifies structural gaps and weaknesses in DOD security programs, policies and procedures. The recommended changes are fundamental and far-reaching, and reflect the need to replace the underlying premise of installation and personnel security. For decades, DOD has framed installation security as a perimeter problem. This paradigm is outdated. Threats to personnel and classified information increasingly lie within our installations, and come from DOD employees and contractors who are trusted insiders. DOD needs to strengthen security from within, and reframe its policies and programs to counter insider threats. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.

This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The events that took place on September 16, 2013 at the Washington Navy Yard were shocking and tragic. Twelve innocent lives were lost that day, along with several injured. While much of the security of this horrific event will rightly focus on how someone in Aaron Alexis' mental state was able to pass a Governmental background investigation and to hold a security clearance, today's hearing will concentrate on the physical preventative security measures that are currently in place for Federal facilities. How do we control access to these facilities to protect both employees and public visitors? What physical security measures, if any, can be taken to prevent future tragedies?

Download or read book Healing After the Navy Yard Shooting One Survivor s Story of Her Struggle to Return to a Normal Life written by Laurel Myers and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healing at the Navy Yard recaps some of the happenings that occurred during the shooting at the Navy Yard then tells readers about the internal battle the author goes through as she grapples with her emotions about the event. After the event, after we'd been told we could return to work, and as people began to trickle back to work, the author was still seeing multiple therapists, psychologists, and a psychiatrist trying to get a grasp of what she had gone through and what she could do to heal from the event. She was given some grounding techniques, both physical and mental, to assist her in gaining control of her fears at certain sounds and of the darkness (remember the inside where the author was situated was darkened by the gunpowder floating in the air that refused to fall to the ground). She felt God had abandoned her, then expanded her thinking to include those in the building who had been affected by the shooting, both those who had been killed or injured, and those who were traumatized by the shooting. Once they moved back into the building, a chaplain was assigned to the Headquarters, and he worked with her, encouraging her to visit the areas of the building she was in when the shooting occurred. He challenged her to write a book and to include comparisons about two men who survived the Nazi concentration camps and their approach to God's oversight of their predicament to her situation and her feelings about God's oversight. As she wrote, and compared her thinking to that of the two survivors, she began to realize that God didn't abandon her and those in the building, but that He helps those who help themselves; and allows life to proceed as it does. Even though she felt abandoned, she still prayed to a God she didn't believe existed anymore. But when they moved back into the building, she realized that God was not abandoning anyone. He was just allowing those who could help themselves to do so while still allowing them the ability to make changes that would affect their future. So at that point she also realized she was praying in earnest once more, and that she had not completed her healing but would require many more years of healing before even thinking she could consider herself healed.
