I’m sure someone with stronger “Google-fu” skills can dig up more,84B0E482-A2AB-49AE-B103-BD21BE000C6F.png
 
Newsmedia is reporting One is a cop that got shot

gotta be fake, only the .gov has guns there and they're not shooting at each other so this is not possible.

EDIT: apparently it's possible, but the media hasn't figured out the angle yet:

As soon as they've got the story, they'll let you know if you should be outraged or just ignore it.

Interestingly, Yahoo news didn't even list the event. Google News had it about 7 line items down under Coumo and Covid, while RT.com had it as their top headline. :rolleyes: That alone should tell you something.
 
There was a stabbing. Details are slowly coming.
 
They're being extremely tight lipped about the suspect. I saw a few blurbs about him possibly being on a train bound for Maryland. I saw ONE description "white t-shirt with a red stain".

That tells you that they don't fit the narrative of white supremacist, you know the type that the Eff Bee Eye says is the greatest terrorism threat to "our democracy".

The officer has died from being shot. So you can bet they will use this tragedy to push their agenda for Gun control. Plus it will then overshadow Creepy Cuomo getting called out for being a predator.
 
Officer supposedly died from stab wounds.

That's just more of that EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVIL rayciss, whitey-cracka, honky-devil, right wing conspiracy talk - TRYING to disparage the 51st (58th?) state's wonderful reputation, as a gun-free UTOPIA since 1976! 🤪

This all seems to have gone down at the bus station at the Pentagon Metro station. This is a public area which anyone is free to enter without restriction. On any given weekday thousands of people are going through this area on the bus and metro train during their commute not just people who work at the Pentagon. I am willing to bet the location was not the cause of the incident but was just where it happened to take place. Most likely just your avg act of violence that happened to occur at that particular Metro station.

Also the Pentagon is not located in DC. It is in Virginia. https://www.google.com/maps/place/T...83d0f8c013532f!8m2!3d38.8718568!4d-77.0562669

A Pentagon police officer was attacked Tuesday morning on a Metro bus platform at the military headquarter’s transit center in Virginia, authorities announced at a news conference. One of Virginia’s U.S. senators said an officer had been killed. Pentagon Force Protection Agency Chief Woodrow Kusse said gunfire was exchanged during the encounter that began just before 10:40 a.m. and that there were several casualties.

Also it is perfectly legal to carry a firearm on the Metro in VA. The WMATA does not have a system wide policy but follows the local laws of the jurisdiction that the station, train or bus is in. So in DC no. MD maybe? VA yes to carry in public transportation. IIRC

But again lets not let facts get in the way of the narrative.

Why. Again I am willing to bet that this is going to be an everyday type of crime that happened to go down at the Pentagon Metro. It could have easily gone down at at King St.
 
This why I hate the news. Anything to get a story out and copy others stories. First out was it was a shoot out at the Pentagon. Anyway prayers for the officers family.
 
Austin William Lanz of Georgia

Stabbed the deceased officer in the neck.




Aug. 4, 2021, 11:20 AM EDT
By Elisha Fieldstadt and The Associated Press
A man suspected of fatally stabbing a Pentagon police officer outside the Pentagon Metro entrance tried to join the U.S. Marines and had recently been charged in Georgia with aggravated battery on police, making a terrorist threat and other counts, authorities said.
The man, identified by multiple law enforcement officials as Austin William Lanz, 27, of Georgia, was killed Tuesday morning after investigators said he stabbed the officer multiple times in the neck.

The slain officer, identified by the Pentagon Force Protection Agency on Wednesday as George Gonzalez, fired on Lanz. However, it was unclear if Gonzalez or another officer hit the assailant with gunfire.
The officer, an Army veteran, joined the Pentagon Force Protection Agency in July 2018, and has since been promoted twice.
"A gregarious officer, he was well-liked and respected by his fellow officers," the agency said in a statement.

Meanwhile, Lanz enlisted in the Marines on Oct. 9, 2012, but was "administratively separated" on Nov. 2, 2012, "and never earned the title Marine," Marine Corps spokesman Maj. Jim Stenger said.
"Our sincerest condolences are with the family of the officer who was killed today," the official added.
Lanz was arrested in April in suburban Atlanta on criminal trespassing and burglary charges, according to Cobb County, Georgia, court records.
When deputies tried to book him at the county jail, he allegedly attacked a deputy "without warning" dislocating his thumb and damaging his taser beyond repair, according to a criminal warrant. He then attacked another deputy, chipping a bone in her knee tearing her ACL, the document stated.
The warrant said Lanz "had to be restrained by multiple deputies."
He challenged deputies to a fight and "verbally stated he wanted to fight all the present deputies, stating the deputies were 'gay' for ganging up on him and asking to have his restraints removed so he could fight them one-on-one," the warrant said.

He was subsequently charged with two counts of aggravated battery on police, a count of making a terrorist threat and a charge for rioting in a penal institution, records show.
A judge reduced his bond in May to $30,000 and released him, imposing some conditions, including that he not ingest illegal drugs and that he undergo a mental health evaluation.
The charges against him are still listed as pending. A spokesman for the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that Lanz had been previously held at the agency’s detention center but referred all other questions to the FBI’s field office in Washington, which is leading the investigation into Tuesday's violence.
Officials said they believe two bystanders at the busy transit hub, just steps from the Pentagon, were also injured.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Tuesday ordered flags be flown at half-staff at the Pentagon and extended his "deepest sympathies to the family, loved ones and colleagues" of Gonzalez.
"This fallen officer died in the line of duty, helping protect the tens of thousands of people who work in — and who visit — the Pentagon on a daily basis," Austin said.
Gonzalez "took our mission of 'protecting those who protect our nation' to heart," according to the statement from the Pentagon Force Protection Agency.
He had also previously served with the Federal Bureau of Prisons and the Transportation Security Administration. He was awarded the Army Commendation Medal for service in Iraq.
Gonzalez was a Brooklyn, New York, native and a "die-hard Yankees fan," the statement from the agency said. "Officer Gonzalez embodied our values of integrity and service to others."

Pentagon officer killed in stabbing attack identified as Army veteran who served in Iraq

The metro hub outside the Pentagon remained closed early Wednesday, as many questions still surround a burst of violence that happened there a day earlier that left one police officer dead after being stabbed in the neck and a suspect killed by ensuing gunfire from responding law enforcement.

Lanz was arrested in April in Cobb County, Georgia, on criminal trespassing and burglary charges, the Associated Press reported, citing online court records. The same day, a separate criminal case was filed against Lanz with six additional charges, including two counts of aggravated battery on police, a count of making a terrorist threat and a charge for rioting in a penal institution, the records show.

A judge reduced his bond in May to $30,000 and released him, imposing some conditions, including that he not ingest illegal drugs and that he undergo a mental health evaluation. The charges against him were still listed as pending. A spokesman for the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that Lanz had been previously held at the agency’s detention center but referred all other questions to the FBI’s field office in Washington.

Lanz had enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in October 2012 but was "administratively separated" less than a month later and never earned the title Marine, the Corps said in a statement.

COVID of course. 🙄

Dude was a bit high strung. "Separated" from the Marine Corps. I just read that the guy that set the fire on the Bonhomme Richard was another wash out that couldn't pass SEAL selection training. Was returned to regular duty and had a big chip on his shoulder.
