Vice President Joe Biden addressed the shooting incident that took place Monday at the Washington, DC Navy Yard, calling it a “tragedy” and acknowledging that the investigation is ongoing.
Biden told the crowd at an event in Charleston, N.C. that although he had been traveling, he was briefed on the incident by the National Security Council and told there may have been more than one shooter.
“You may know more than I in the last 45 minutes,” Biden said. “But this situation is unfolding and we know a tragedy has occurred, and we’re thinking about all the people who are there.”
