White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Tuesday President Obama has no plans to meet with first responders, victims, and victim’s families of the Navy Yard shooting:
Q: Jay, a couple questions on the Navy Yard shooting. Does the president have any plans to meet with first responders, victims, victims' families, considering that the shooting happened so close to the White House?
MR. CARNEY: I have no meetings of that nature to announce today. What I can tell you is that later this afternoon, the president will receive a briefing from Attorney General Eric Holder, FBI Director James Comey and members of his national security team on yesterday's horrific shooting at the Washington Navy Yard. The president has obviously been updated regularly, including this morning at his PDB, on developments in that matter. But he will get a specific briefing from the attorney general and the FBI director this afternoon.
