A police officer died after the Pentagon was placed on lockdown following what a spokesperson called a “shooting event” near the Metro bus platform outside the building
Pentagon Police Chief Woodrow Kusse told reporters in a new briefing that a police officer was attacked on the Pentagon Metro bus platform at around 10:37 Tuesday morning. Gunfire was exchanged and there were “several casualties,” he said.
“The incident is over. The scene is secure,” Kusse said. “The Pentagon and the Pentagon reservation are safe and secure.” Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby told reporters Tuesday afternoon that Austin and Gen. Mark Milley, the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, were attending a regular meeting at the White House with President Joe Biden at the time of the episode. They returned to the building after the meeting, he said.
