BREAKING: Possible incident at Comet Ping pong DC (pizzagate)

submitted ago by Skanda

A man just walked into the Comet restaurant with an assault rifle. No shots fired but everyone ran out. I'm next-door at the red fox coffeeshop. 10+ police cars are already here.

EDIT: a man just exited with his hands on his head. He was handcuffed and put in a squad car. Still holed up in the red fox.

UPDATE

“u/d COMET PINGPONG, 5037 Ct Av NW-DC. A man has surrendered to PD. SWAT-ERT and bomb techs will sweep Comet and man’s car parked outside.”

UPDATE 2: CONFIRMED

They look noticeably shaken up having just witnessed a man run into a restaurant with a rifle, while with your kids and wife no doubt? Naat. Cool as a cucumber that guy on the left.
