D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier said the shooter walked into the lobby of the building at about 10:45 and was confronted by the security guard as if the guard was asking him where he was going.
The man then took out a gun and opened fire on the guard, Lanier said. The guard and others wrestled the man to the ground, disarmed him and waited for police, she said. The guard was then taken to the hospital and is in stable condition, the chief said.
The shooter is in FBI custody and has not yet been charged, authorities said.
“The security guard here is a hero, as far as I’m concerned,” Lanier said. ”He did his job. The person never made it past the front.”
Authorities did not identify the shooter or the security guard. They also would not say what kind of gun the shooter used or whether the security guard was armed.
“We don’t know enough about him or his circumstances to determine what his connection is to this group [the research council] or his mental state, or what he was doing or thinking of doing,” McJunkin said. “So we’re going to try to sort this all out, pull the evidence together, do all the interviews we can.”
If the security guard had died could Romney run an ad with the guard’s wife saying that Obama’s/Democrat’s campaign of hate and division killed her husband?
The Wapo is to laugh at. Only a few hours after the event, they want to know the type of gun used.
“They also would not say what kind of gun the shooter used or whether the security guard was armed.”
Had to be an AK-747, with a folding SPEC-OPS stock and the 6,000 rd drum clip hidden in his pocket. /sarkov
...so in other words, do their best to bury any leftist motive, probably release the perp because he is part of that “largest civilian army in history” Obama was talking about [/sarcasm]
Ha! One of this dirt bags 12 Facebook friends is a girl named Reagan Chaney. No doubt a Lefty, can you imaging the ridicule she must get from friends about her name.
