[Diddle E. Squat]

Searching for a lone gunman

Another problem: Roads around Pentagon closed due to suspicious truck on 395...msnbc

Well if they were going to blow something up...or do some damage - I think they have missed their chance. The building is basically empty now.

[Naspino]

My thoughts exactly - why wasn't he blasted as soon as he took off?

Probably congressmen "I'm too good to obey security" take off running all the time and if they shot a congressman they'd be sent up the river forever.

Capitol Police spokeswoman: "Still investigating... Looking for TWO people, one male, one female."

[meowmeow]

Truck cleared - parking lots open again.

[TomGuy]

Capitol Police looking for a man and a woman. Maybe or may not be related to incident. May or may not be together.

Bag involved in investigation; being searched, identified.

[mewzilla]

Not with conventional explosives.

[OldFriend]

Guess the D.C. guards have x-ray vision.

Or given a medal... depending on who they shot and who is in power at the time :)

[No Blue States]

"Roads around Pentagon closed due to suspicious truck on 395"

I wonder what makes a truck suspicious? A moving Truck like in the OK city bombing?

[Becki]

Just in on Fox, police are looking for a second perp...

Where did this one come from?

Becki

[TomGuy]

[cars for sale]

now a man and woman...it could be Boxer and Hillary
the x=ray should determine who had the strap on on.

[Rutles4Ever]

ELFs? (ELves?)

[Merovingian]

"Revolver" is what is described as being seen in backpack..

Male and female entered bldg..

[mhking]

Mary Bono on MSNBC: "We were told to stay in our office and lock the doors. But about two minutes ago there was a lot of shouting in the hallway..."

[unixfox]

Searching everybody leaving except members.(Mistake IMO)

Kinda like drug tests, they are good for everybody else EXCEPT them. Because they are PERFECT.

[TomGuy]

MSNBC reporting that security video of perp(s) exist and is being reviewed. It may or may not be released to public later.

[camle]

I 395 is in CT. You must mean I-95

[NCC-1701]

"...How the hell did he get through the metal detector?..."

Must have been TSA on the job.
