When things don’t add up, it’s time to pause and reexamine. What’s more, when coincidences begin to pile up in every direction, it’s time to examine more closely–or in some cases, begin examining in the first place. Cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men are counting on us to remain hopelessly unaware, distracted, and balkanized as they steal and destroy the earth.

…the first thing you learn as a young FBI agent in this, there are coincidences but they’re not likely, and there are a lot of coincidences about this event.

Fmr. House Intelligence Chairman, Mike Rogers (September 16, 2012)

    The shooter’s name has not been released, but he has tentatively been identified as an active-duty U.S. sailor assigned to the USS Columbia, a submarine that is in dry dock at the base for standard maintenance work, said Rear Adm. Robert Chadwick, commander of Navy Region Hawaii.

    […]

    One man, who did not give his name, was at his desk Wednesday when he heard the shots from Shipyard Drydock 2, a maintenance area for nuclear submarines.

    “I kind of recognized that as gunshots, I looked out the window (and) saw three people on the ground, I looked out in time to see the shooter, who I assume was a sailor because he was in uniform, point the gun at his head and shoot himself,” the witness told CNN affiliate KGMB/KHNL.

    […]

    The incident took place three days before National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day when the nation commemorates those who died in the December 7, 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor that pushed the United States into World War II.

    The lockdown at Mokulele Elementary, Hickam Elementary and Nimitz Elementary has been lifted according to the Hawaii Department of Education.

    Most students were not on campus since Wednesday was an early release day.

    Honolulu’s worst mass shooting was just over 20 years ago after a Xerox employee shot and killed seven of his colleagues.

    Sources said 22-year-old Gabriel Romero was armed because he was assigned to stand watch on a submarine undergoing maintenance at the shipyard.

    “Our thoughts are with the families of the victims and everyone involved,” said Rear Admiral Robert Chadwick, commander of Navy Region Hawaii. “This is certainly a tragedy for everyone here.”

    He said it wasn’t immediately clear whether Romero knew the victims ― all shipyard employees ― or if the three were targeted at random.

    He also didn’t have details about what type of gun was used or a possible motive.

    […]

    The Naval Criminal Investigative Service — or NCIS — has taken the lead. However, Honolulu police detectives and the city Medical Examiner’s Office have also responded.

    […]

    Alex Ojeda and Will Churchhill reported to their first day at work on base Wednesday when the active shooter situation started.

    […]

    The USS Columbia, which Romero was assigned to, is currently undergoing repairs at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard, which is its homeport.

    The 360-foot-long, 6,000-ton submarine was commissioned in 1995.

    It has a crew of about 150, which often conducts operations across the Pacific.

    The Navy says it’s one of the most modern subs in the world, capable of long-range Tomahawk strike operations, anti-submarine operations, as well as surveillance and intelligence gathering.
