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

Oddly my breaking news app reported this. Not a word about any of this before but suddenly a man having a fun in a restaurant gets a push alert? How many people go into a restaurant with a gun,maybe even harm people or rob the place on a daily basis all over the country and I don't get an alert on it but this one does. I know lots of people that use the same app and have no idea what pizzagate is and seeing that alert would have made no sense to them. Even stranger is that the follow up reports were not push alerts and people would not see the Claims about the self investigation. I think the low level editors at breaking news agree with us.
