All three broadcast networks opened their Wednesday evening newscasts with coverage of newly released footage of Washington Navy Yard shooter Aaron Alexis during his killing spree. ABC World News called it “a haunting new video, a killer roaming the halls of the Washington Navy Yard looking for targets.” On NBC Nightly News, Pete Williams reported, “Cameras inside the Navy Yard building show Aaron Alexis carrying the sawed-off shotgun he used to shoot most of his victims.” TheCBS Evening News reported the FBI said Alexis “was driven by the delusional belief that he was being controlled or influenced by electromagnetic waves beamed into his body.”
