[NOVACPA]

A friend told me that one of the slain actually had a gun?

Any confirmation?

Multiple news sources have confirmed. But I have not read if they have identified which Marine had a gun. A naval officer also had a gun and used it. A relative of one of the Marines said the shooter was wearing body armor. I have not seen any such info from the FBI.
