The Pentagon was on lockdown Tuesday morning after multiple gunshots were fired near a platform by the facility´s Metro station. At least one person was down, according to two people familiar with the shooting, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release information publicly. The person's condition was not known. The incident occurred on a Metro bus platform that is part of the Pentagon Transit Center, the Pentagon Protection Force Protection Agency tweeted.

Obama’s mentor Bill Ayers returning to the Pentagon to finish the job he started over 40 years ago?
Agreed—I have been in the parking lot/transit area during the late morning—it is very quiet after rush hour is over...
Comb-oh, her-ass-meant? Show of hands he ain’t going anywhere. 😕
Wow ... the Pentagon, the core and command of the entire U.S. military with about 23,000 military and 3,000 civilian personnel employed under a total lockdown for some shots fired at a bus stop in the area. Really makes the biden military look standing tall to get a cower in place order for almost 30,000 people for probably one person with a gun. Ooorah
Bus stops are dangerous places to hang out in DC.
I’m shocked that you managed to snag a MD permit. They are very rare.
DINGDINGDING!
The Metro is DC’s subway. I know there is a Metro Subway station at the Pentagon.They probably don’t mean a bus platform.
The metro is run by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, which includes DC, Virginia and Maryland.
This is on a bus platform near the Pentagon Metro stop.
Yes they do mean buses.
Rail is underground there. I think the buses - much like most of Metro - are available just outside with an escalator ride up.
“bus stop in the area”
It’s not “in the area” - it’s right there. Above-ground while the associated rail is below ground.
It’s rather easy to get to Metro stuff there.
It’s in the metro station UNDER the Pentagon. The metro runs right beneath them, and there’s a large metro station with exits up to the Pentagon.
They snuck another armed gang in on me.
You didn't think there was any physical security at the headquarters of the US military?
FBI “white supremacist” false flag op????
Thanks both. I kept getting better informed as this story is breaking.
Bus stop.
Unless there were security changes since I left
Depends on when you left. Once upon a time, the escalator went right into the building. Now it goes up to the side for a quick screen before you enter the building and swipe your badge.
Yeah, it's a "May Issue" state. Guess I got the State Police guy in a good mood, LOL.
To bad, so close to the target and selects the wrong building.
The reporting is very confusing.
Light rail would be where you said, but buses are above-ground adjacent to the parking lot.
Light rail or bus area?
I guess we will find out for sure soon enough.
Lock down lifted. It’s not happening.
Attempted suicides.
