A shooting at the metro entrance to the Pentagon
A shooting at the metro entrance to the Pentagon left two police officers and a civilian suspect wounded and forced the US military headquarters to be put under security lockdown.
Pentagon police spokesman Chris layman said the alleged gunman was also wounded. All three were taken to hospital but injuries were not life-threatening. A security lockdown was imposed on the building for a while. Layman said, the suspect had approached the subway entrance and opened fire. Officials say an investigation is under way. It is unclear why the alleged gunman opened fire at the pentagon police officers. Besides serving the pentagon, the station is a major transportation hub for bus service into suburban northern Virginia and is crowded during the evening rush hour.
