The Pentagon is in Virginia — not sure how gun laws apply.
Three people, including two Pentagon police officers, were shot Thursday at the Metro transit entrance to the Pentagon, Pentagon officials told NBC News.
The third victim was possibly the suspect gunman, NBC reported.
Two of the victims were reportedly taken to George Washington Hospital for treatment; the third was treated at the scene for what was believed to be minor injuries.
Update coming up.
Still sounds to me street thugs.
Drug deal gone bad. Whatever. Thugs with guns.

No problem. The Mod Squad does what it does. This thread was a bit more articulate, and by then may well have had more replies. Only La Lydia managed to post to mine.
From twitter :
chrisgolden: WaPo via Pentagon Force Protection Agency: one person in custody. 2 shot confirmed to be police officers #Pentagon
No kidding. If it was a damn mohammed who shot the unarmed people, then you can bet the farm that the stupid bastards at the FBI will state that this was not terrorism.
Meanwhile, that worthless weasel General Casey will soon issue a statement saying that this "tragedy" should never overshadow the importance of political correctness, or some such horsesh!t.
Lest we forget, they are everywhere now.
I now understand what Lincoln was saying when he spoke about how perverting the constitution ultimately just made it a suicide pact.
CNN adds George Washington Hospital tells them that they are treating three people from the incident, presumably the two officers and the shooter.
CNN further reports the lockdown has been lifted at the Pentagon except for the Metro entrance.

SNIPPET: “Local television station WUSA reported three people were shot. Two were taken to George Washington Hospital in Washington, the station said.”
The shooter got rushed to the hospital??
Now it’s police officers who were shot? !!!!
prayers for those involved.
Cripes. Dear Lord.
I was much more content with street thug shootings.
Interesting.
I wonder if the shooter was trying to get into the Pentagon and shoot everyone he could?
jawsjudd: OMG I was half way up the Pentagon escalator when I heard about 6 shots fired-scariest moment of my life

Some witnesses reported hearing gunshots being fired in the station and people screaming.
Maybe this is something like the CIA shooting where the muzzie ambushed people at the entrance.
