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.

As posted on Reddit's Washington DC subreddit

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

Always think of every scenario. This could have been Comet Ping Pong behind this to make this investigation look bad. I hate to bring up politics but let's not forget HC and her campaign paid people to incite violence at trumps rallies. Now if this was a researcher that was pissed off than he clearly wasn't smart on approaching this situation.

We can use this to our advantage!!

If the police have to sweep with the bomb squad, that means forensics, that means if there is any thing that could be found within the perimeter of that sweep, we will know. Hopefully that will include trace DNA and discovery of the basement and or tunnel.

this is actualy a genius idea to get police on the scene if that is the case
