Aaron Alexis opened fire several times with a semi-automatic inside the headquarters of the naval command systems of the U.S. Navy weapon, killing twelve people and injuring at least a dozen others.
The author of gunfire was then shot by the police. Police in Rhode Island had warned the month before the U.S. Navy on Aaron Alexis because he said "hearing voices" and had come to complain to the police.
This September 11, 2001 in New York, he said he was traumatized by the attacks on the twin towers.
