Nothing on the wires yet. No more news given than what I put in the headline.

It seems the injuries to the officers are not life-threatening.

New conference up now

Layman said the suspect walked up to the main entrance of the Pentagon at 6:40 p.m. and opened fire. He hit two officers. The officers fired back, and the suspect was hit. His injures are more serious.

Considering the weapons the cops at the entrance carry...

PRESS conf on now.

Suspect came up to the two officers, didn’t say anything- just opened fire.

Officers will be ok- gunman is critical.

"Suspect came up to the two officers, didn’t say anything- just opened fire."

That's not a street crime, that's an attack. There's no other way to shade it.

What is the name and nationality of the shooter? I bet he isn't Amish!

Did I just hear a reporter ask “Is he muslim” and the PIO said “I don’t want to answer that at this time”...

WTH?!?!

Uh-oh...

Pentagon Police Chief Richard Keevill speaking now. Says the wounds to the officers were grazes. Says the suspect, didn't say anything before shooting, he "walked up very cool," "reached in his pants like people do to pull out a pass and instead pulled out a gun."

Says gunman is American citizen as far as he knows. Won't describe gunman.

It’s very hard to hear the questions- that’s why I asked...did I HEAR that right? I thought I heard that..

But I’ll tell you- it’s pretty damn strange to just walk up to a couple of Pentagon officials and start shooting without saying a WORD.

One of my most favorite memorabilia I have is a picture of South Parking and the Pentagon in a rear view mirror.

That's still a popular gift. :)

Does anyone find this very coincidental considering health care has been number one priority in the news?

What a way to take the masses mind off of that important issue. Just thinking out loud here.

I am stuck watching BOR (someone dear has control of TV)
Has the ethnicity of the shooter been raised? :)
Middle Eastern? Black? White?

CNN is the only cable news outlet carrying the Pentagon press conference.

Chief "can't answer" how many shots were fired. Says there was a likely a third officer involved. Says Pentagon police use a Glock .40 caliber semi-automatic. Says gunman did not get inside Pentagon.

Jeez, the exchange happened so fast and I was straining to hear - I honestly don’t recall if it was male or female.

It IS very strange just to walk up to two policemen and start shooting.

Call me crazy, but I’m getting a whiff of Islam.

(Now the chief says it is inappropriate to describe how the assailant was dressed? Weird...)
