D.C. Gunman Had Clearance, Despite Gun Incidents -- Daily Intelligencer
Aaron Alexis, the man who allegedly killed twelve people at the Washington Navy Yard before dying in a gun battle with police on Monday, was a 34-year-old former Navy reservist, who was discharged in 2011 due to "a pattern of misconduct." In 2004, he was arrested for firing out the tires of a car parked near his Seattle home
Then in 2010, he was arrested again after firing a shot through his upstairs neighbor's floor. While one might think that at least one of these facts would raise a red flag during a background check, officials say Alexis recently obtained security clearance to enter the Navy Yard, and may have even purchased firearms within the past few days.
There were other consequences. Alexis's Fort Worth apartment complex began eviction proceedings, and one Navy official said the gun incident was part of the reason Alexis was given a "general discharge" in January 2011, a classification that often indicates a blemished record.
Tell me how this dipshit got a security clearance.......the lawsuits from this will be huge
