Excerpt
SUMMARY: In the wake of the Navy Yard shooting, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel recognizes his department's responsibility to ensure the safety of its employees. But, he told Judy Woodruff, there were "red flags that didn’t get connected." On Syria, Hagel said the military is ready to respond to any option the president decides to take.
JUDY WOODRUFF (Newshour): Secretary Chuck Hagel, welcome to the NewsHour.
SECRETARY CHUCK HAGEL: Thank you, Judy.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Let's talk first about these tragic shootings at the Navy Yard this week. You acknowledged earlier today that there were a number of red flags, as you put it, that were thrown out that should have been picked up. You've commissioned a couple of reviews to be done, and you've said whatever mistakes were made, we're going to fix them.
But what do you say to the families of the victims and to the people who still work at this Navy Yard and other military installations who are thinking, I thought if my loved one worked at a place like this, they'd be safe?
