The Pentagon attack

[stillcool]

4. It's as clear as mud...a tale from two agencies?

yesterday the victim was reportedly shot, but then it was reported he was stabbed. They mention casualties but don't provide any more information. Today, the assailant committed suicide with the weapon he took from the victim he had stabbed, and in the very same article was killed by responding officers. Don't know what happened to casualties. Guess they recovered fast.

Two law enforcement sources previously told CNN that an officer had been shot during the incident. But later Tuesday, a defense official familiar with the initial reports said the officer was stabbed by an assailant and other officers responded rapidly and shot the suspect.
================================
Chief Woodrow Kusse did tell reporters during the briefing that an officer was attacked on a bus platform outside the building and that the incident was over, with "no continuing threat" to the area.
"Gunfire was exchanged and there were several casualties," he said. While Kusse acknowledged there were several injuries, he would not say whether anyone was killed in the incident.
Kusse also said, after being pressed multiple times by reporters, that law enforcement is "not actively looking for another suspect at this time."
The "shooting event" occurred on the bus platform on the Pentagon complex and prompted a lockdown of the building with no personnel allowed outside, according to a message that was sent to the Pentagon workforce by the Pentagon Force Protection Agency.

A senior defense official told CNN that the officer, George Gonzalez, was stabbed by the assailant and that other officers responded rapidly and shot the suspect.
The FBI's Washington field office confirmed Lanz as the suspect on Twitter Wednesday and said that he died by suicide using the service weapon of the Pentagon Force Protection Agency officer he had fatally wounded.

According to the FBI's tweet, Lanz "exited a bus at the Pentagon Transit Center" and "immediately, without provocation, attacked" Gonzalez with a knife.

The FBI continued, tweeting that a "struggle ensued, in which the subject mortally wounded Officer Gonzalez and then shot himself with the officer's service weapon. Other PFPA officers engaged the subject, who ultimately died at the scene."
Lanz briefly enlisted with the US Marine Corps in 2012 but never earned the title of Marine, according to Maj. Jim Stenger, Marine Corps spokesperson.
