Navy Yard Gunman Kicked Out Of Navy; Claims Of ‘Anger Issues’ After Rescuing Victims Of 9/11

Aaron Alexis was thrown out of the military in 2010 for discharging his own gun, similar to another incident in 2004.

In 2004, he was arrested in Seattle for shooting the tires of someone’s car during an anger-fueled ‘blackout’.

‘He said that he didn’t remember pulling the trigger of his firearm until about one hour later,’ according to the Seattle police report.

Later he said that he felt the intended victim ‘disrespected him’.

The report states that his father said his anger issues stemmed back to his time in New York where he helped the rescue efforts following the September 11 terrorist attacks.

The shooter’s father told police ‘that his son had experienced anger management problems that the family believed associated [sic] with PTSD.’
