Navy Yard Shooter Aaron Alexis Angry, Frustrated, Vengeful
Aaron Alexis, the gunman who killed 12 people at the DC Navy Yard,
had been stewing over a perceived slight for about a year, would stay
up all night playing military-style video games, and kept asking friends
for financial help, acquaintances of the shooter told ABC News.
One woman said she believes Alexis ruined her new car in a fit of anger when she couldn't give him rides.
The FBI is now scrambling to learn anything and everything they can
about the shooter's past, which include previous brushes with the law
and frustration about his pay as a consultant during a contracting trip
to Japan and difficulties finding full time work.
Alexis, 34, began running into trouble as a Naval reservist in 2010. ABC
News has found that the Navy sought to give him a general discharge, a
status that is less than an honorable discharge. But the Navy was not
successful and Alexis instead sought an honorable discharge through what
is called the early enlisted transition program. He was honorably
discharged in January 2011.
