Suspect, Police Hurt in Pentagon Shootout
Two police officers were injured by a suspect who opened fire outside the Pentagon tonight after the officers asked him for an access pass, police said. An aerial view of the Pentagon in Arlington, Va., is seen in this September 2003 file photo. Two police officers were shot outside the Pentagon Metro station March 4, 2010.
The suspect was identified as John Patrick Bedell, sources told ABC News and The Associated Press, which added that he was 36 years old. Keevill would only say the suspect was "an American citizen, as far as I know."
"The officers were emphatic about saying he was very calm, that there was no distress," Keevill said. "He had his arms down at his pocket. We see folks come up to the Pentagon every day that have their passes in different places. He reached into his pocket. They assumed he was going to get his pass out. He came out with a gun and just started shooting."
