Volume was average at 3 billion shares. 13 killed, including gunman, in Navy Yard shooting WASHINGTON (AP) — A former Navy man launched an attack Monday morning inside a building at the Washington Navy Yard, spraying gunfire on office workers in the cafeteria and in the hallway at the heavily secured installation, authorities said. Thirteen people were killed, including the gunman. Authorities said they were looking for a second possible attacker who may have been disguised in a military-style uniform. Investigators said they had not established a motive for the shooting rampage, which unfolded in the heart of the nation's capital, less than four miles from the White House. As for whether it may have been a terrorist attack, Mayor Vincent Gray said: ''We don't have any reason to think that at this stage.'' But he said the possibility had not been ruled out. President Barack Obama lamented yet another mass shooting in the U.S. that he said took the lives of American patriots. He promised to make sure ''whoever carried out this cowardly act is held responsible.'' Unarmed man shot 10 times by Charlotte officer begun returning home after days of rain and flooding, but Monday's clearing skies and receding waters revealed only more heartbreak: toppled houses, upended vehicles and a stinking layer of muck covering everything. Rescuers grounded by weekend rains took advantage of the break in the weather to resume searches for people still stranded, with 21 helicopters fanning out over the mountainsides and the plains to drop supplies and airlift those who need help. The confirmed death toll stood at four, with two women missing and presumed dead. The number of missing people was difficult to pinpoint, but it has been decreasing. The state's count fell Monday from just over 1,200 to about half that. State officials hoped the overall number would continue to drop with rescuers reaching more people and phone service being restored. ''You've got to remember, a lot of these folks lost cellphones, landlines, the Internet four to five days ago,'' Gov. John Hickenlooper said on NBC's ''Today'' show. ''I am very hopeful that the vast majority of these people are safe and sound.'' Residents of Hygiene returned to their small community east of the foothills to find mud blanketing roads, garages, even the tops of fence posts. The raging St. Vrain River they fled three days earlier had left trucks in ditches and carried items as far as 2 miles downstream. Syria deal shines light on suspected Israeli chemical weapons JERUSALEM (AP) — The U.S.-Russian plan to dismantle Syria's chemical weapons is drawing attention to Israel's own suspected chemical stockpile and could raise pressure on the Jewish state to come clean about its capabilities. Israel signed the landmark international treaty banning the production or use of chemical weapons two decades ago, but it is among a handful of nations that have never ratified the deal. While foreign experts widely believe that Israel likely possesses a stockpile of chemical and biological weapons, Israeli officials refuse to confirm or deny the existence of any such arsenal. They say the key issue right now is Syria, not Israel. In a radio interview Monday, former Defense Minister Amir Peretz declined to discuss the country's chemical weapons capabilities but said the international community's attitude toward Israel is ''different'' from Syria. ''It's clear to everyone that (Israel) is a democratic, responsible regime,'' he told Israel Radio. ''I very much hope and am certain that the international community will not make this a central question and we will maintain the status quo.'' Stocks rise after Summers exits Fed race NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks are higher after former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers withdrew from the race to become head of the Federal Reserve. Summers had been expected to move aggressively to rein in the Fed's huge economic stimulus program. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 118 points, or 0.8 Colorado evacuees return to find more heartbreak HYGIENE, Colo. (AP) — Weary Colorado evacuees have CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Investigators say an unarmed man was shot 10 times by a Charlotte police officer. Police said Monday that officer Randall Kerrick fired 12 times at 24-year-old Jonathan A. Ferrell early Saturday while responding to a breaking and entering call. Ten of the bullets hit the former Florida A&M University football player. Officers say Ferrell had been in a car wreck and sought help at a nearby house. A woman called authorities when she didn't recognize the man. Kerrick has been charged with voluntary manslaughter. He is out on bond and expected in court Tuesday. Ferrell's mother says she forgives the officer accused of shooting her son and is praying for him, but also says he should have never been hired if he could act so recklessly. January 2012 and were poised to set it upright in the middle of the night. After 15 hours of slowerthan-expected progress in pulling the heavily listing luxury liner to an upright position, engineers said they finally hit the tipping point they eagerly were awaiting. Shortly before midnight, the Concordia was raised by 25 degrees — after that, engineers said, the effect of gravity started giving the rotation a boost. Then engineers quit operating the pulleys, and by using remote controls, carefully began opening valves to let seawater start filling huge ballast tanks that had been welded onto the already exposed side. The weight of the water in the tanks helped pull the cruise liner up much faster. ''We're in the final phase of rotation,'' said Franco Gabrielli, the Italian government official who is overseeing the operation. ''We have passed the 24 degree mark and now are filling the tanks with water,'' he told journalists early Tuesday. Originally, engineers had been confident complete rotation might take as little as 10 hours, and be reached by early evening Monday. But the timetable quickly went off plan. First, an unpredicted early morning thunderstorm pushed back the start time. Then the wreck resisted for three hours before it allowed itself to be wrested off the jagged rocks that were embedded into one side of the hull after the Concordia had hit another reef close to Giglio Island's coastline, took on water through a 70-meter-long (76-yard-long) gash, and eventually capsized a few hundred meters (yards) away onto another reef. Boston homeless man glad to Man arrested in turn in money BOSTON (AP) — A home- front of White less Boston man who police said turned in a backpack con- House taining tens of thousands of dollars in cash and traveler's checks said even if he were desperate he wouldn't have kept ''even a penny.'' Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis honored Glen James on Monday, giving him a special citation and thanking him for an ''extraordinary show of character and honesty.'' James said in a handwritten statement he gave out at a news conference that he was glad to make sure the bag and its contents were returned to the owner. ''Even if I were desperate for money, I would not have kept even a penny,'' he said. Shipwrecked Concordia wrested off Italian reef GIGLIO ISLAND, Italy (AP) — Using a vast system of steel cables and pulleys, maritime engineers on Monday gingerly winched the massive hull of the Costa Concordia off the reef where the cruise ship capsized near an Italian island in WASHINGTON (AP) — The Secret Service has arrested a man for tossing firecrackers over a fence at the White House. A federal law enforcement official says the shoeless man was immediately arrested Monday. An Associated Press photographer heard what sounded like two gunshots outside the White House. Three uniformed Secret Service officers arrested a middle-aged man. The man was white, with dark hair, a blue shirt and white shorts. His white shoes lay on the ground near where the officer tackled him. Obama goes after 'extreme' Republicans WASHINGTON (AP) — A potential federal shutdown looming, President Barack Obama on Monday warned congressional Republicans they could trigger national ''economic chaos'' if they demand a delay of his health care law as the price for supporting continued spending for federal operations.

Even more daunting is a mid- to late-October deadline for raising the nation's borrowing limit, which some Republicans also want to use as leverage against the Obama administration. ''Are some of these folks really so beholden to one extreme wing of their party that they're willing to tank the entire economy just because they can't get their way on this issue?'' Obama said in a speech at the White House. ''Are they really willing to hurt people just to score political points?'' The Republicans don't see it that way. House Speaker John Boehner, who opposes the threat of a shutdown, said, ''It's a shame that the president could not manage to rise above partisanship today.'' Obama, said Boehner, ''should be working in a bipartisan way to address America's spending problem, the way presidents of both parties have done before,'' and should delay implementation of the health care law.
