Nutjob reacting to the JFK files?

Send that mentally ill woman the CIA had in the recruiting ad to take him out.

SWAT teams are reported to have the man at gunpoint on the beach, it is unclear at this moment in time whether the man has been detained or apprehended or whether the crime scene negotiators were put to use.

Interesting timing. Who fires a shotgun in the air rather than at people... in front of the CIA... when they know the building is full of people who would gladly take him down? A lockdown might allow time for file shredding...?

CIA has its own police force?

[Uncle Miltie]

That’ll get someone’s attention.

I would hope so

The police just released a picture of the man. He is as unidentified as of now.

Uhh, this is CIA HQ. Calling in SWAT from outside is like a local sherrif’s office calling in city coppers. CIA is not able to protect themselves and their facilities?

Joe Biden?

How in the hell did a nut job with a shot gun GET INTO CIA headquarters??? Is he employed there??

Maybe they dropped him as an asset, and he's angry he's not getting paid anymore.

Gaslighting theater.

Hmmm… did he have this season’s duck stamps?

The real question is which side are the bad guys at the CIA. The guy with the shotgun or the CIA?

This is infrequent, but not unknown. There have been several individuals over the years that pick the CIA parking lot to make statements. A wacky Paki even killed a couple of people there many years ago.
