According to the Fairfax County Police Department, there is “a man with weapon” at the USA Today office in McLean, VA. They are advising the public to “avoid the area.” Please check here for continued updates.
This one will be an obvious one to charge Trump supporters with.
This anti-American rag has been a scourge for decades.
Going to be a daily thing until Trump is deposed.
This is Antifa leftist totalitarian fascists.
Bet on it.
Leftists in Deep State are working hard.
LOL — “Man with weapon” is NOT equal to “Active shooter”.
I really hope/pray for everyone there.
Now with that said, let me just share my very first thought. This is perfect for those who will want to associate those of us who have a strong distrust of media bias with radicals and terrorists. These events a very convenient for certain political agendas. Un-freakin-believable.
Police and other emergency services are responding to the USA Today headquarters near Washington, D.C. for reports of a man with a weapon, local officials and witnesses say. The building is being evacuated but there is no indication of an active shooter.
The incident began at about 12 p.m. on Wednesday when officers were called to the Gannett Building at 7950 Jones Branch Drive in Tysons. The initial call was for a man with a weapon, but at one point police were also called for an “active shooter.”
As of 12:45 p.m., there is no evidence of a shooting and there are no reports of any injuries, but police are still investigating and they’re working to secure the scene.
“Please avoid the area,” Fairfax County Police said. Tysons, near McLean, is a community about 10 miles northwest of Washington, D.C.
As a result of the incident, the building was put on lockdown and some employees were told to evacuate. A large number of emergency services, including a SWAT team and other heavily-armed offices, were called to the scene as a precaution.
Could be a disgruntled employee, lots of layoffs as the traditional media withers on the vine.
Per WUSA: FBI confirms incident is NOT a shooting.
Okaaaay. Was the perp waving a copy of the Constitution...?
CRIMINALIZING the mere sight of a gun now in progress.
Could be...USA Today was bought recently IIRC.
I was told, just last weekend by the local sheriff’s deputy, that my Gerber pocket knife is considered a “weapon”.
3-inch blade.
Go figger.
LOL, I was wondering what the weapon was and concluded that it was most probably a walking cane.
Has the civil war started yet?
Sounds like a perp waving a big knife....

how about a hoax call?
C’mon. There is no way all or most of this is not orchestrated - too many in too short a period of time.
I know ‘they’ know who’s behind all this.
All ‘they’ need to do is pretend those responsible actually owe lots of taxes - they will be dealt with swiftly.
That’s true too.
And then you also have the disgruntled “ex partner” shooters too.
At USA Today “armed” = a person with rational thinking.
