Washington Navy Yard in the News Today

It was very sad to learn that 13 people were killed today at the Washington Navy Yard in Washington, DC. Fortunately, the killer is also dead.

I have been writing a bit about the yard in this blog as of late. Along with the White House and other public buildings burned in the city when the British captured it in 1814, ships and facilities at the Washington Navy Yard were also destroyed, some by the British, but others by Americans trying to keep them from being captured.
