Pentagon Orders Security Review of All US Military Facilities -- Voice of America
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is ordering a security review of all U.S. military facilities around the world after a gunman shot 12 people to death Monday at the Washington Navy Yard.
The Pentagon says details of the review will be announced Wednesday.
The Navy Yard gunman, 34 year-old Aaron Alexis, was fatally shot by police about 30 minutes after he began the shooting rampage. The FBI says he acted alone and got into the Navy Yard with valid identification. His motive is still unknown but police say there is no evidence of connection to terrorism.
