This one will be an obvious one to charge Trump supporters with.
This anti-American rag has been a scourge for decades.
Going to be a daily thing until Trump is deposed.
This is Antifa leftist totalitarian fascists.
Bet on it.
Leftists in Deep State are working hard.
LOL — “Man with weapon” is NOT equal to “Active shooter”.
I really hope/pray for everyone there.
Now with that said, let me just share my very first thought. This is perfect for those who will want to associate those of us who have a strong distrust of media bias with radicals and terrorists. These events a very convenient for certain political agendas. Un-freakin-believable.
Police and other emergency services are responding to the USA Today headquarters near Washington, D.C. for reports of a man with a weapon, local officials and witnesses say. The building is being evacuated but there is no indication of an active shooter.
The incident began at about 12 p.m. on Wednesday when officers were called to the Gannett Building at 7950 Jones Branch Drive in Tysons. The initial call was for a man with a weapon, but at one point police were also called for an “active shooter.”
As of 12:45 p.m., there is no evidence of a shooting and there are no reports of any injuries, but police are still investigating and they’re working to secure the scene.
“Please avoid the area,” Fairfax County Police said. Tysons, near McLean, is a community about 10 miles northwest of Washington, D.C.
As a result of the incident, the building was put on lockdown and some employees were told to evacuate. A large number of emergency services, including a SWAT team and other heavily-armed offices, were called to the scene as a precaution.
CRIMINALIZING the mere sight of a gun now in progress.
Has the civil war started yet?
Sounds like a perp waving a big knife....

C’mon. There is no way all or most of this is not orchestrated - too many in too short a period of time.
I know ‘they’ know who’s behind all this.
All ‘they’ need to do is pretend those responsible actually owe lots of taxes - they will be dealt with swiftly.
At USA Today “armed” = a person with rational thinking.
We moved to the Free State of MS a few Months ago.
Every time I leave my House I am a Man with a Gun.
When I attain One Year of Residency here I will getting my Concealed Carry Permit which will allow me to practice my God Given Right to Self Defense in many other States.
The response is predictable. Calls for mass gun confiscation from non-violent citizens, while not taking them from violent criminals. Blaming it on Trump.
Reporter tweeted FBI confirmed no shooting. Nothing on scanner indicates active incident. Fake news and irresponsible to put this out.
Well, could’ve had a man with no arms show up. So, take what you can get.
Go to any open carry state, generally, people are respectful and the sidearm is just part of one’s daily attire. Please correct me if I’m wrong but I’m not aware of any open carry state that has had a mass shooting at a public event. Excluding public schools for the obvious reasons.
Somebody opened a flip phone and farted.
How does that differ, exactly, from McConnell’s house being beset by demonstrators, some of whom were no doubt armed?

USA Today’s Virginia HQ evacuated amid reports of man with weapon
“Employees inside a northern Virginia office building that houses Gannett headquarters and its flagship outlet USA Today were evacuated Wednesday amid reports of an armed man on the premises, officials and the newspaper said.
“We are responding to reports of a man with weapon at the Gannett Building located at 7950 Jones Branch Drive in McLean. Please avoid the area,” Fairfax County Police tweeted at 12:25 p.m.”
While incidental exposure of a concealed firearm (with a permit) is not a crime in Virginia, intentional display of even a holstered weapon is considered brandishing. Open carry is legal for most people. Carrying in a posted private area is considered trespassing and the person can be cited and prohibited from entering again.
I wonder which of these is considered “active shooter” by the folks at USA Today.
