The FBI said there was no indication that the Washington
navy yard gunman targeted any specific individuals when he opened fire inside
the complex, killing 12 people.
The agency released pictures and video of Aaron Alexis
stalking the corridors of the building, and held a news conference to give more
details of the investigation.
Valerie Parlave, head of the FBI's field office in
Washington, said investigators were continuing to explore the background and
motivations of 34-year-old Alexis. She said Alexis had a well-documented
history of mental health issues.
Parlave said Alexis held a delusional belief that he was
being controlled by extremely low frequency waves, or ELF waves. Alexis had
written "my ELF weapon" on a shotgun he used in the rampage.
Alexis, a former navy reservist and IT contractor, was
killed in a shootout with police.
