Navy Yard shooting suspect Aaron Alexis received an honorable discharge

Washington Navy Yard shooting suspect Aaron Alexis received an honorable discharge from the U.S. Navy Reserve in 2011, even though he exhibited a pattern of misconduct during his career, a Navy official said today.

A military official said that before discharging Alexis honorably, the Navy had been pursuing a general discharge against him on a series of eight to 10 misconduct charges, ranging from traffic offenses to disorderly conduct.

Aaron Alexis was shot dead during a gunfight at the Navy Yard after killing 12 people.  Yesterday news sources were mentioning the police searching for other possible suspects, however I didn’t see anything new on the story about that.
