Kenneth Bernard Proctor, 46, was one of twelve people killed in the mass shooting at the Washington Navy Yard in Washington, D.C., on Monday morning, September 16, 2013. A Native American and member of the Piscataway Conoy Tribe, Proctor worked as a civilian utilities foreman and had more than twenty years of government service. He had gone to Building 197 for breakfast, a routine visit to the cafeteria though he did not work in that building.

Aaron Alexis entered the building armed with a shotgun and opened fire. Proctor was fatally shot during the attack; Alexis was killed after an exchange of gunfire with law enforcement. The FBI later concluded Alexis acted alone and reported he may have believed he was being controlled by electromagnetic waves. A Department of Defense report after the shooting identified missed warnings about Alexis’s mental health and gaps in detecting and responding to those red flags. Proctor was buried with tribal honors and is survived by his family, including two teenage sons.

If anyone knew Kenneth, worked with him at the Navy Yard, or has information about his last morning, please share what can help remember him.
