Shots Fired at Pentagon, at Least Two Police Injured
http://abcnews.go.com/US/pentagon-shots-fired-police-officers-reported-injured/story?id=10014570

Two police officers were injured by a gunman firing shots outside the Pentagon tonight. Hundreds of employees there were ordered to go into "Code Red" -- the entire building locked down, with no one allowed to enter or leave.

ABC's Steven Portnoy reported that Pentagon police had a suspect in custody. ABC's Martha Raddatz reported that three ambulances were on the scene, and all parking lots at the massive Defense Department headquarters were closed off.

The shooting occurred at the Pentagon Metro Station, which is just outside the Pentagon's main entrance.

The shots were fired at about 6:30 p.m. ET.

Pentagon Police spokesman Chris Layman told ABC News the initial report was that two police officers were shot. But local television station WUSA reported three people were injured. Two were taken to George Washington Hospital in Washington, the station said.

1. I assume that the police officers didn't have their guns.
Since it's impossible for anything to go wrong when you are armed.

13. Agree with your point
But felt compelled to point out that the Pentagon is in Virginia, not DC. Common misconception, even for people who live in the area.

6. You don't spit into the wind, you don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger...
and you don't fire shots at the Pentagon.

7. You have to be a special kind of stupid to be shooting in this area.

The stupid. Sometimes it's just to much to bear.
