And this after shots were fired at the National Museum of the Marine Corps, over in Virginia.
Another D.C. Sniper type Thing ?
The Washington Post
Authorities searched Tuesday for a gunman who fired shots at the Pentagon in the early morning, possibly using a high-powered rifle. No one was injured.
The shots were fired shortly before 5 a.m., shattering, but not penetrating, windows on the third and fourth floors, officials said. They said the walls of the building might have been struck.
"Right now, we are considering this a random event," said Pentagon Force Protection Agency Director Steven E. Calvery. "We can only process what we have."
Federal and local authorities spent the morning searching for evidence, closing adjacent Interstate 395 briefly and combing through grassy areas. The FBI also was examining bullet fragments lodged in the windows.

A British soldier dubbed the Silent Assassin has broken a distance record after taking down two targets from a mile and a half away.
Corporal of Horse Craig Harrison, a British Army sniper, killed two Taliban machine gunners in Afghanistan from a distance of 8,120 feet, Sky News reported.
"The first round hit a machine gunner in the stomach and killed him outright. He went straight down and didn't move," the 35-year-old said of the incident, which took place in November 2009.
"The second insurgent grabbed the weapon and turned as my second shot hit him in the side. He went down, too. They were both dead."
Harrison was nearly 3,000 feet beyond the effective range of his British-built L115A3 Long Range Rifle...
The sniper's shots broke a record previously held by Cpl. Rob Furlong, a Canadian Forces soldier, who in 2005 killed an Al Qaeda gunman from about 7,972 feet away.
Sgt. Brian Kremer of the United States Army held the record in 2004 with a shot in Iraq that struck its target from about 7,545 feet.
