A gunman coolly drew a weapon from his pocket and opened fire at the teeming subway entrance to the Pentagon complex Thursday evening, wounding two police officers before being shot and critically wounded, officials said.

Authorities said all three were taken to a hospital. Richard Keevill, chief of Pentagon police, said the two officers suffered grazing wounds that were not life-threatening.

The suspect, identified as 36-year old John Patrick Bedell, allegedly walked up to a security checkpoint at the Pentagon in an apparent attempt to get inside the Defense Department headquarters, at about 6:40 p.m.

So it wasn’t a Religion of Peace shooting.

My next guess is a Code Pink shooting.

“... a convert to the religion of peace ?”

Could be, or perhaps a computer out of the Bay area. Either can be dangerous.

Wait and see....

Is it this guy or a different J. Patrick Bedell?

“The principal investigator for the proposed research is J. Patrick Bedell, the chief executive officer of DNAputer Research, Incorporated. In addition to a bachelor’s degree in physics from the University of California at Santa Cruz, Mr. Bedell has an intense desire to contribute to the national security of the United States.”

I'm STILL guessin' a convert.

The fringe media doesn't have the sense to actually analyze information ... they heard "white guy name" and ran with it.
