On September 16th, 2013, tragedy struck Washington, D.C. and the United Sates when an armed assailant left nearly two dozen innocent victims injured, over half of whom were fatally wounded. The mass shooting happened at the D.C. Navy Yard at approximately 8:20 a.m. Eastern Time. While there are no words to express the irreparable damage caused to the victims and their families, a familiar question began making its way into the discussion. In a report published by CNN, a statement by Michael Ritrovato, a friend of the suspected shooter Aaron Alexis, indicated that while according to Ritrovato, Alexis had no known issues with aggressiveness or violence, he had played quite a bit of online shooters.
