WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The U.S. Coast Guard tried Friday to prevent a boat from entering a security zone on the Potomac River not far from the Pentagon, where President Obama was at an event commemorating the September 11 attacks. There were reports on police scanners of shots being fired, but those reports could not immediately be confirmed.

See post #10 for a conspiratorial possibility.
Something strange is happening here. Just feel it in my bones. Not an exercise........but something else.
The Potomac river is in Washington D.C.
But, it is still near the Pentagon, so your arguments still apply...a training exercise, near the site of a 9/11 attack, on the anniversary of 9/11.
Bad idea all around.
Either that or a drunken Kennedy in a sail boat.
What?????...what are your thoughts.
I’d like to see the EIR (Environment Impact Report) that needed to be filed due to the lead bullets impact on native river environ’s and the person who approved a live fire exercise, near a bridge, used by the President on 9/11.
Ten warning shots into its wheelhouse?
It’s like the seen out of the “TRUMAN SHOW”. Patrick Kennedy is trying to escape the world of rehab he finds himself stuck in.

That would be, ‘The Fool on the Hill’... “day after day, alone on a hill.....” da da daaa Right?
Curious story. I wonder if “It’s a training exercise” is the new version of “It’s not terrorism.” Dear Hubby is retired USCG, and an “exercise” like this, on this day, in populated area—just seems out of character. But some years have passed since retirement, so maybe it’s a different USCG today.
Excuse my tinfoil hat, but your theory seems at least as likely as the USCG holding an exercise like this, in this place, on this day.
Ooops. I've been to the Potomac, should know better.
To do a drill, on THIS day...”What a ‘bad’ idea” is an understatment to say the least....I dont think this was any drill at all, they dont want the public to panic, nor for this day of rememberance to be tarnished. Its just too coincidental and half of the american population are not the idiots obama hopes we are! ;)
ROFLOL! Too funny!
A photo op????
Anyone know 10 rounds of what?
What do Coasty’s have on board a 50’cal or 60’cal or some anti-ship cannon that would need to be reloaded several times?
And the news reports are all over the map on this story...some say “exercise,” some say “suspicious recreational craft”...
How about the fact the MSM reports shots were fired when the President was at the Pentagon and the media goes nuts? It became about ZERO once again.
