Pentagon official: FBI releasing footage of Navy Yard shooter was “gratuitous”
Aaron Alexis

Report from my FNC colleagues Jennifer Griffin and Justin Fishel:

From a senior Pentagon official: “people in DoD are furious that FBI unnecessarily put out this video footage today.  It only adds to the pain of the families and brought life back to a killer.  It was gratuitous.”

I don't get the angst over stuff like this. 

Of course DoD is up in arms; the Navy has egg all over its face for giving security clearances to this malcontent. 

One thing the video does show is that no "assault weapon" was involved; it was clearly a pump shotgun.
