A gunman opened fire at a security checkpoint into the Pentagon in a point-blank attack that wounded two police officers before the suspect was shot fatally.
Richard Keevill, chief of Pentagon police said, the two officers suffered wounds and were treated in a hospital. John Patrick Bedell, 36, identified as the shooter, died hours after being admitted to a hospital in critical condition.
"The shooter walked up to the checkpoint at the Pentagon's subway entrance in an apparent attempt to get inside the massively fortified Defense Department headquarters. "He just reached in his pocket, pulled out a gun and started shooting" no more than five feet away, Keevill said. "He walked up very cool. He had no real emotion on his face." The Pentagon officers returned fire with semiautomatic weapons." read more: John Patrick Bedell Dead: Pentagon Shooting Suspect Dies
