US names Navy base shooting suspect

US authorities probing the shooting spree at Washington's Navy Yard, which left 13 people dead and eight injured, have said  that a lone gunman carried out the killings.

Authorities said military contractor Aaron Alexis, 34, of Texas, launched the attack on Monday inside a building at the US Navy complex, spraying gunfire on office workers in the cafeteria and in the hallway at the heavily secured installation.



Investigators said hours earlier  they were searching for two suspects and urged Washington residents to stay in
place until the search ended.

However, Washington mayor Vincent Gray said on Tuesday there was no evidence nor indication that there was another shooter, "even though we haven't completely ruled that out".
