Alexis, a former Navy reservist who had a valid pass to enter the facility, likely acted alone, DC Police Chief Cathy Lanier said Tuesday.
"We do now feel comfortable that we have the single and sole person responsible for the loss of life inside the base," she said.
Police initially said they were looking for a second shooter based on statements from eyewitnesses and security camera footage.
The 34-year-old Alexis's military record indicates that he was a full-time Navy reservist from May 2007 to January 2011, when he was hired as a contractor, the Pentagon said.
President Barack Obama declared four days of mourning for the victims. EFE
