The gunman who opened fire at the Metro entrance to the Pentagon has been identified as John Patrick Bedell. But authorities are checking into whether there was a second gunman.
The man was calm as he approached the officers at the main entrance around 6:40 p.m., Pentagon Police Chief Richard Keevil said at a news conference. The officers asked to see his pass to enter the building; he started shooting without saying a word.
“He reached into his pocket and they assumed he was going to get out his pass and he just started shooting,” Keevil said. The officers were only “grazed” and immediately fired back.
Keevil declined to [identify] the suspect or the officers, whose injuries aren’t life-threatening.
The gunman’s injuries are more serious, but Keevil wouldn’t elaborate. A Pentagon source told Fox News the gunman was shot in the head.
