Shots Fired At Pentagon?

That's what police say.

Shots were fired at the Pentagon early Tuesday, authorities said, striking a window of the building.

Pentagon police spokesman Chris Layman said it's not known who fired the shots. Pentagon police officers heard at least five shots around 4:50 a.m., Layman added.

According to another Pentagon Force Protection Agency spokesman, Terry Sutherland, two bullets hit the Pentagon on the south side of the building -- one striking a window and the other hitting the building itself. This is an unoccupied part of the building that is being renovated.

Most of the time these things aren't terrorism. But, on the other hand, who thinks it's a good idea to shoot at the Pentagon? You would think a conventional criminal, or some guy obsessed with a girl that let him down, would realize there are probably softer targets than the headquarters of the United States Armed Forces.

If it is a terrorist, he's one of those Lone Wolf types, and a disorganized personality type (thank God). Because he's trying to murder a building.
