    The scene at the annual event in Washington turned chaotic when a man dashed toward the dining area and was met with gunfire. One hotel security guard said she observed the individual with a firearm.

    So did he actually have a gun or fire any shots? Because that sounds like security just started lighting someone up.

    One officer who was wearing a bulletproof vest was shot and was taken to a hospital.

    Probably friendly fire.

    Authorities said he had a shotgun, a handgun and multiple knives.

    He allegedly had a fucking shotgun, a large weapon notoriously bad against bullet proof vests, in the middle of a city, which he managed to walk to a hotel with, enter the hotel, and not raise suspicion until he was going through security? Also “multiple knives”? What the fuck would you need a knife for if you have two guns, let alone multiple knives?

    The story is so fucking weird, especially since we know every official source has to be lying about all or most of it. Like someone going with a long arm to shoot up a place full of armed security in body armor, something they know they’re gonna die doing, doesn’t go ahead and splurge on even a rifle? He opts not to sneak in and instead charges security, without actually shooting until after he’s fired upon first (if he returned fire at all), but he brought the worst possible option for going up against armored security?

    What do you want to bet it’s a cop shotgun one of them grabbed from their trunk, one of the knives is a swiss army knife and the other is a piece of cutlery from the hotel that someone dropped nearby, and he maybe had a handgun at the most if he was armed at all? If this even happened remotely like what they’re saying at all, and it’s not just a big “whoopsy security opened up on a random guy who just happened to be there, better fabricate a justification for appearances sake”.
