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.

Per a posting on the other thread, it looks like the shooter is a 9/11 Truther, on top of being a moron.

I wonder if this is his Amazon profile? If so, he would appear to be a 9/11 truther and Bush hater. Got a screen cap saved.

Looks like he's a pot grower too, assuming this is the same guy.

Facebook shows a J. Patrick Bedell who seems to be a Lew Rockwell fan.

You would think it would take two or three full business days for the FBI, CIA and other agencies to make a determination that this was not terror related. I wonder who in the fed made the statement that this was not an act of terror because there is no mention of it in the article. Just move along there is nothing to see here.

That's some interesting research. Having DNA molecules be absorbed on to an aluminum surface and somehow using it to mass duplicate and produce molecular level circuitry. In other words, organic ultra small microchips. At least after glancing at it, that's what the paper seemed to be saying.

The fact that the writer has just a BA in Physics would lead one to think he's a grad student in their mid-20's, not 38 as the shooter is described. Probably not the same guy, but if he is it's like something from a storyline on Fringe.

Was he riding a magic carpet and chanting “Barry Akbar?”

His facebook pic looks crazy.

His facebook photo seems like he’s a convert to the Religion of Gay.

Nothing to see here, just move on.

[Nitehawk0325]

You’re right. They would have said his Christian name for days and his rag head name once.

His physics degree from UC Santa Cruz was 1994, so would be about the right age.

Hey, isn’t that a gun free zone?

Huh?

So it wasn’t a Religion of Peace shooting. My next guess is a Code Pink shooting

My first thought, being eliminated then goes to "the perp is a Liberal; a Progressive; a Demrat of the First Kind".
