D.C. Police detain suspect with an assault rifle at Comet Ping Pong
restaurant
D.C. Police responding Sunday to a report of a gunman at a popular pizza
restaurant in Northwest Washington detained a man armed with an assault
rifle, according to a police spokeswoman.
Police Chief Peter Newsham said a lone suspect in his late-20s walked into
the front door of Comet Ping Pong with an assault rifle. Newsham said it
appeared as if the suspect may have fired one or multiple shots into the
ground after the employees and patrons had left. The man, who police say was
from Salisbury, North Carolina, has not yet been identified and his motives
were not clear.
“We do have employees and guests of the restaurant who, of course, were
extremely frightened by this incident,” Newsham said. “At this point we do
not believe that it was terrorist related. And it’s unclear right now what
the motive is.”
But Comet Ping Pong, a pizza restaurant on Connecticut Avenue with ping-pong
tables that is popular with families, has been caught up in a wave of
conspiracy theories and fake-news stories that spread during the
presidential campaign that have prompted death threats to the restaurant and
nearby businesses.
“We’re aware of that and right now we have nothing to tie it into those
concerns that have been raised on social media,” Newsham said.
Startled patrons rushed out of the restaurant onto Connecticut Avenue,
taking shelter in nearby businesses and remaining locked down for more than
an hour.
Vivek Jain, of Potomac, Maryland, was eating lunch inside Banana Leaf, a
nearby indian restaurant, when Comet patrons came rushing inside. He said
Banana Leaf was locked down for about an hour and a half.
“A bunch of people ran in from Comet and said a man walked in with a gun,”
he said.
About 45 minutes later, he said, he saw a man walking backward on on the
street with his hands in the air.
“He laid down on Connecticut Avenue and he was immediately picked up by the
police and taken away,” he said.
Police said they recovered a handgun in addition to the rifle, and the man
may have had an additional weapon in his car. Bomb-sniffing dogs and at
least one armored vehicle were present at the scene.
