‘You may not leave’: Senate went into lock down after Navy Yard shooting

UPDATE: In a 4:16 p.m. email, the Senate sergeant at arms emailed staff saying, “I am lifting the portion of the lock down which required you to remain in the buildings.”
In explaining the original move, he wrote, “While this [lock down] approach is inconvenient, it is at times necessary. The lessons of Boston, Virginia Tech, Sandy Hook, and Aurora are clear, and just still too raw.”
WASHINGTON – The Senate complex in the Capitol Building has been locked down after a shooting at the nearby Navy Yard early Monday morning.
