FYI, those weren't my words, they were the words in the article. I see they recently updated the article and changed the word "state" to "local."
But if I had to answer what state Comet is in or what state DC is in, I'd have to either say a state of denial or a state of confusion. It all depends on how is president.

WASHINGTON - A North Carolina man who fired an assault rifle multiple times inside a D.C. pizza restaurant while investigating claims related to an internet conspiracy theory will face more serious federal charges.
FOX 5's Bob Barnard said that prosecutors dropped state charges against Edgar Maddison Welch during his appearance in Superior Court on Tuesday.
The investigation will now be taken over by federal authorities who are expected to pursue more serious charges.
Welch, who has been in custody since the December 4th incident at Comet Ping Pong, will remain in custody.

WASHINGTON - A North Carolina man who fired an assault rifle multiple times inside a pizza restaurant in the nation's capital while investigating the internet conspiracy theory known as "pizzagate" will face federal charges.
Edgar Maddison Welch of Salisbury, North Carolina, appeared briefly in Superior Court in the District of Columbia on Tuesday.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Sonali Patel told a judge that prosecutors are dismissing the local charges because they have obtained a federal arrest warrant. Patel didn't detail the federal charges. It's not clear when Welch will appear in federal court.
The 28-year-old Welch has been in jail since the Dec. 4 shooting at Comet Ping Pong, which has been falsely rumored to be the site of a child sex trafficking ring run by prominent Democrats.
Welch's parents were in court, but declined to speak to a reporter.

I'm intensely curious about what state you guys think Comet Ping Pong is located in.
