Revealed: Navy Yard killer carved bizarre phrases including 'better off this way' and 'my ELF weapon' on shotgun as his mother apologizes to all this victimsAaron Alexis, the Washington Navy Yard shooter, carved bizarre phrases referencing microwave communication into the shotgun he used to kill 12 people on Monday morning as they arrived for work - as his mother made an emotional public apology for her son's murderous actions.
Officials with knowledge of the investigation revealed that Alexis, 34, had etched 'Better off this way' and 'My ELF weapon' into the stock of his Remington 870-Express-Tactical shotgun.
While officials said they can't be sure what he meant, they said that ELF usually stands for 'extremely low frequency' and can be used to refer to the weather, or communications.
This is significant to investigators because of yesterday's revelation that Alexis made a disturbed report to Rhode Island police on August 7th, in which he alleged three people were following him and were using a 'microwave machine' to send vibrations through his body and keep him awake in his hotel room.
