Possible Shots Fired Near Pentagon

Pentagon entrances were locked down early Tuesday after a report of possible shots fired near the building.

Maj. Chris Perrine, a Pentagon spokesman, says a civilian reported he may have heard shots at about 5 a.m. EDT on the south side of the massive Defense Department headquarters.

Perrine says police authorities did a sweep of the area and didn't find anything.

The roads and pedestrian entrances leading to the Pentagon were reopened a little after 5:30.

If I were going to do something stupid like shoot someone I sure would pick another place. That building has thousands of people inside who are trained to kill people and also hundreds, if not thousands of guards who have real guns with real bullets!
