Navy Yard Shooting: FBI Video Shows Aaron Alexis During Rampage (VIDEO)
The FBI recently released surveillance video and of Aaron Alexis, the shooter who went on a rampage at the Navy Yard in Washington D.C. that resulted in the deaths of 12 people.
There are no signs that Alexis, 34, was targeting anybody in the September 16 shooting at the Navy Yard in southeast Washington, said Valerie Parlave, the FBI assistant director in charge of the Washington field office.
"We have found relevant communications on his electronic media, which referenced the delusional belief that he was being controlled or influenced by extremely low frequency electromagnetic waves for the past three months," Parlave told a news conference.

The FBI website says a document retrieved from Alexis' electronic media stated: "Ultra low frequency attack is what I've been subject to for the last 3 months, and to be perfectly honest that is what has driven me to this."
The Department of Veterans Affairs also released a statement regarding the health records of Aaron Alexis in which the department reveals that Alexis never sought treatment for any of his alleged mental health issues.
"According to VA records, he never sought an appointment from a mental health specialist, and had previously either canceled or failed to show up for primary care appointments and claims evaluations examinations he had scheduled at VA medical centers," the VA said in a statement.
The statement did add, however, that he did seek medical treatment for insomnia.
"Aaron Alexis received treatment on August 23, 2013, when he visited the emergency room at the VA Medical Center in Providence, R.I., complaining of insomnia. After a medical examination, he was given a small amount of medication to help him sleep and was instructed to follow up with a primary care provider," the statement reads.
