A Pentagon Police officer was stabbed to death and the suspect killed by other officer during a morning confrontation at the Metro bus station at the Pentagon transit station, the Associated Press reports.
The incident caused the Pentagon to go on lockdown for about an hour as notifications that there were gunshots heard on the campus. An Associated Press reporter near the building heard multiple gunshots, then a pause, then at least one additional shot. Another AP journalist heard police yelling “shooter.”
The names of the dead officer and the attacker were not announced.
