The closed-circuit video, released by the FBI on Wednesday, shows Alexis arriving at the Navy Yard in a rented Toyota Prius, entering Building 197 with a backpack and moving through the hallways with what appears to be a sawed-off shotgun. There is no audio, no footage of victims and no images of Alexis firing the weapon.
At a press conference in Washington, FBI Assistant Director Valerie Parlave announced the release of the footage along with still images and a timeline of the Alexis’ activity the morning of the rampage:
7:53 a.m. – Alexis’ rental car, a blue Toyota Prius with New York plates, entered Parking Garage #28 at the Washington Navy Yard, located directly across from Building #197.
8:08 a.m. – Alexis exited Parking Garage #28 on foot carrying a backpack. Alexis entered Building #197 and proceeded to the elevator.
8:09 a.m. – Alexis exited the elevator on the fourth floor and entered the men’s bathroom carrying a backpack and a clipboard.
8:15 a.m. – Alexis crossed the hallway into the 4 West area of Building #197 with shotgun, but without the backpack or a clipboard.
8:16 a.m. – Alexis shot the first victim in the 4 West area of Building #197.
8:17 a.m. – First 911 call is received from the fourth floor of Building #197.
8:20 a.m. – Alexis left the fourth floor using the stairs and entered the third floor.
8:28 a.m. – Alexis appeared on the first floor.
8:57 a.m. – Alexis returned to the third floor.
9:25 a.m. – Law enforcement shoot and kill Alexis on the third floor.
According to the FBI, Alexis, a Navy contractor, “had legitimate access to the Navy Yard as a result of his work as a contractor and he utilized a valid pass to gain entry to Building #197.”
Alexis, the FBI said, used a Remington 870 shotgun and a Beretta handgun he obtained during the course of his shooting. Both weapons were recovered at the scene.
