WASHINGTON October 19, 2010, 07:44 pm ET
Someone fired shots at the Pentagon early Tuesday in what security
officials described as "a random event." No one was injured in the pre-
dawn incident in which shots were fired into two windows at the
sprawling Defense Department just across the Potomac River in suburban
Virginia.
Steven Calvery, director of the civilian Pentagon Force Protection
Agency, told reporters that a number of his officers reported hearing
five to seven shots fired at about 4:55 a.m. EDT near the south parking
lot of the Pentagon. The Pentagon building and the roads leading it were
briefly shut down as officers did an initial sweep of the area.
An internal search of the iconic structure found fragments of two
bullets still embedded in two windows — one on the third floor and one
on the fourth. The bullets had shattered but did not penetrate the
windows, Calvery said. The windows were part of offices that are being
renovated and they were unoccupied at the time.

A rifle is also believed to have been used in that shooting, which may
have occurred during early morning hours.

A spokesman for Prince William County Police, which is investigating the
museum incident in Quantico, said his officers were working with the
Pentagon force protection agency and were trying to determine if the two
shootings were related.
A cleaning crew at the museum called police Sunday when they noticed the
bullet holes in a part of the building that faces Interstate 95.
Gwenn Adams, a spokeswoman for the museum, said it appeared to have been
hit by at least 10 rounds — five that struck glass and five marks on
metal panels. Not all the bullets penetrated the glass, she said. |
