UPDATE: D.C. Police: The white male in the tan outfit has been identified and is not a suspect or person of interest

D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray said at least 12 people were killed in the Navy Yard rampage as D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier revealed one shooter was killed at the scene and authorities are looking for another man — after a third was cleared of involvement in the attack.

Conflicting reports emerged of the dead shooter. 

NBC reported the slain gunman was a 34-year-old man from Texas, who was a civilian contractor who stole a military ID to gain access to the Navy Yard.

But the Associated Press said authorities identified the dead shooter as a Navy employee whose work status had been changed earlier this year.

 A senior federal law enforcement official said authorities were investigating whether the main shooter was motivated by a dispute with employees at the Navy Yard.

Authorities were still clearing the building early Monday afternoon.

The two at large suspects were dressed in military garb but are not believed to be U.S. service personnel, Lanier said.

One was a young white man in a khaki like uniform and the other was a black man in his 50s with a long rifle in an olive colored garb, she said.

UPDATE: The D.C. Police Department tweeted the white male in the tan outfit has been identified and is not a suspect or person of interest.

Earlier, Navy Capt. Ed Buclatin said all the injuries occurred in Building 197 of the Navy Yard, which is home to the Naval Sea Systems Command.    

Navy officials had reported shots were fired at 8:20 a.m. at the headquarters of the Naval Sea Systems Command in Southeast Washington.

D.C. police quickly deployed an "active shooter team" within seven minutes of reports of shots fired, Ms. Lanier said.

Two of the shooting victims are D.C. police officers.
