Gunman tells police he was hearing voices before rampage
Aaron Alexis, 34, a Rhode Island Navy contractor, told police he heard voices through walls and ceilings in hotel rooms and that microwave vibrations prevented sleep. The Aug 7 Newport report adds to a pattern of erratic behavior, with officials noting untreated mental health issues while he held a security clearance. The attack at the Washington Navy Yard left 12 victims, and investigations examine background checks for contractors and agency security standards.

Navy Yard shooter faced guns and law gaps in gun rules
Aaron Alexis had a history of violent outbursts and faced several gun incidents. He bought a shotgun in Virginia with out-of-state ID under a law that allows it, while federal rules restrict handgun sales to out-of-state buyers. The 1986 Firearms Owners Protection Act eased interstate gun sales, and background checks did not flag him. Lawmen reviewed Sharpshooters Small Arms Range records, noting he rented a rifle, bought ammo, and used the range before the shotgun purchase. The episode spurred renewed calls for broader checks and limits, but Congress has stalled.
