ASHINGTON (AP) — Someone fired shots at the Pentagon early Tuesday, hitting the building and causing minor damage, defense officials said.Police who protect the massive Defense Department headquarters temporarily locked down some road and pedestrian entrances to the building after a civilian reported he may have heard shots at about 5 a.m. on the south side of the facility.
A sweep of the area and facility found that some shots had hit the building, Marine Col. Dave Lapan, a Pentagon spokesman, said. He didn't know how many shots or from what kind of weapon.
Roads and pedestrian entrances leading to the Pentagon were reopened a little after 5:30 a.m., but part of nearby Interstate 395 was later temporarily closed for part of the investigation.
