Several people are dead, along with the shooter and many others have been injured as additional suspects are being sought following a shooting at Washington, DC's Navy Yard.

Public Safety officials say one gunman died in the shooting, and police are searching for additional suspects.

The Navy Yard was placed on lock-down after multiple shots were fired inside a building on the base, the U.S. Navy said.

At last count, 10 people were injured in the shooting, including eight civilians, one police officer and one base officer. Six people were killed according to official reports.

It has now been five years after the financial collapse and unfortunately very little has changed.

Some of Wall Street's biggest financial firms, including JPMorgan Chase & Co and Bank of America have been placed on notice that the federal government is pursuing new prosecutions of possible abuses in the mortgage-backed securities industry.

This Week in History, September 15 - September 21

Sep 15, 1978
Hispanic Heritage Month. Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, by celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15. It was enacted into law on August 17, 1988, on the approval of Public Law 100-402. This day - September 15 is significant because it is the anniversary of independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and September18, respectively. Also, Columbus Day or Día de la Raza, which is October 12, falls within this 30 day period.

Gandhi begins fast in protest of caste separation. On this day in 1932, in his cell at Yerovda Jail near Bombay, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi begins a hunger strike in protest of the British government's decision to separate India's electoral system by caste. A leader in the Indian campaign for home rule, Gandhi worked all his life to spread his own brand of passive resistance across India and the world. By 1920, his concept of Satyagraha (or "insistence upon truth") had made Gandhi an enormously influential figure for millions of followers. Jailed by the British government from 1922-24, he withdrew from political action for a time during the 1920s but in 1930 returned with a new civil disobedience campaign. This landed Gandhi in prison again, but only briefly, as the British made concessions to his demands and invited him to represent the Indian National Congress Party at a round-table conference in London.
