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

Why were reports about this incident written hours before it happened? https://twitter.com/DispelShadows/status/805555954527981568

I am skeptical of that link. Anyone can alter an image. The link in question was archived at 4:21 pm EST (https://archive.fo/l3LKV)) . A more current article is archived here. A lot of the articles I'm reading say the guy was arrested a little before 4. So writing an article between 4 and 4:20 is plausible, especially considering that the guy originally appeared around 3. According to the page's info, it was originally published at 4:10.

Someone moving the CCV 1 day before is really sketchy. I mean, who does something like that on a Saturday?
