Two police officers were injured by a gunman firing shots outside the Pentagon tonight and a suspect was in custody, a police spokesman said.
Initially, hundreds of employees at the Pentagon were ordered to go into "Code Red" -- the entire building locked down, with no one allowed to enter or leave.
After about 45 minutes, people were allowed to leave the building through entrances other than the one closest to the Metro station. Metro trains bypassed the Pentagon station.
At least three ambulances were called to the scene, and all parking lots at the massive Defense Department headquarters were closed off, ABC News' Martha Raddatz reported.[/quote]
[highlight][b]APPARENTLY ALL OF WASHINGTON D.C. IS ON A HIGH ALERT. THE POLICE SUSPECT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. WILL UPDATE AS I GET NEWS[/highlight][/b]
Could you imagine having the balls to walk right up to the Pentagon with guns?
Wonder why he did it...
So with three sides lost to a pentagon does that make it a triangle?

lol geometry
Another Muslim extremist?
Did he really think he was going to be able to shot people in the pentagon?
He failed.
Probably.
Here's an update I just got
[quote]"Pentagon under lockdown, all essential personnel ordered in to work, no exceptions, police in DC on highest alert, Foggy Bottom and L'Enfant Square on HIGH alert, we are told this is NOT an isolated incident. As we are cleared to reveal more we will..."[/quote]
There's more? :ohdear:
[editline] lol [/editline]
I'm on the other side of the country in a suburb, why is this so special to me!
[QUOTE=squeaky024;20563394]There's more? :ohdear:[/QUOTE]
From that little snippet I would assume so. "Not an isolated incident" kind of throws a red flag out there
EDIT: [highlight][b]MORE UPDATES[/b][/highlight]
[quote] Conflicting reports on shooter in media, most media sources are quoting government sources as saying shooter acted alone, not terror related, HOWEVER ... OUR sources say the situation room is in high gear (not something that happens when it's a lone gunman) and DC police have been mobilized for something "IMMINENT". A DC police officer has confirmed that they are in preparation for an "event".[/quote]
Scary shit right here guys :ohdear:
So I guess there's another man somewhere?

Yea, check the knoll!
Pentagon Police chief is taking questions on CNN right now if you want to watch it.
That's kind of an intimidating story though, considering I work for the Executive Office of the President. We get all kinds of security alerts all the time, but never anything like this.
Holy shit.
That's one ballsy sonofabitch, trying to shoot up the [I]Pentagon[/I].
this is just crazy. this guy has the balls to do this. he will have a lot of friends in prison

Yeah the whole "not an isolated incident" thing is leaving a lot to question.
Here's a Facebook page if you want real-time updates:

What's with all the shootings lately?
Highly lockdown? holy fuck.
Shit guys, I'm scared, hold me.
Not again...
Hardly did jack so far.
This is why you hide RPGs and 24 grenades and an SMG with 500+ bullets in your rectum like Dr. Freeman does.

It's a gun free zone. Nothing much could stop him.

Lol you really think that it's a 100% gun free zone? Secret Service and FBI carry guns dude.

Yes. Military Bases, U.S. Army, Marine, Navy and Coast Guard property are gun free zones. The guards carry weapons but they have no magazines. Anyone entering the Pentagon has their weapon confiscated at security before they proceed, same for almost all government buildings like this.
Now that they're in Code Red they most likely have issued security weapons, but had they not caught the guy response would be up to the local police.
