THE SIGNS WERE ALL THERE: A month before he went on the rampage that left 13 dead, Washington Navy Yard gunman Aaron Alexis complained to police that people were talking to him through the walls and ceilings of his hotel rooms and sending microwave vibrations into his body to prevent him from sleeping. Alexis, a 34-year-old information technology (IT) employee with a defense contractor, used a valid pass to get into the heavily secured Washington Navy Yard and then killed 12 people before he was gunned down by police in a shootout that last more than a half-hour. Alexis had been undergoing mental health treatment from Veterans Affairs since August but was not stripped of his security clearance, according to the law enforcement officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the criminal investigation was still going on. He had been suffering a host of serious mental problems, including paranoia and a sleep disorder, and had been hearing voices in his head, the officials said.
