WASHINGTON – A gunman opened fire at the subway entrance to Pentagon complex Thursday evening, wounding two Pentagon police officers, a spokesman said. The alleged gunman also was wounded, said Chris Layman, a spokesman for the Pentagon Force Protection Agency. Authorities said all three were taken to a hospital. None the injuries were thought to be life-threatening, Layman said.

Layman said the suspect walked up to the subway entrance 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.

this says on AP news this happened at 6:40 PM, but as of 8:16 had only been up for three minutes. Interestingly, this happened right after the supreme court said we have a right to bear arms (thanks). I wonder if they will use this to demonize gun owners. They will most likely put more focus on the gun issue. I want to get this out because it is a breaking story and have not seen any other threads on ATS yet.
