#1 Most people are just happy to get OUT of that place. Strange, very strange.

#2 Probably a wrong turn and a panic.

As the exit sign at the back gate to the fort said "Drive Gently"

#3 A federal law enforcement official told CBS News that cocaine and a weapon were found in or near the vehicle.

Did they belong to the perps or the fed agents/guards? (see-Secret Service el al)

#4 CBS News sez the person who said it's not terrorism-related was an FBI guy.

#5 But then, I don't think we've had a terrorism related incident since 9-11, right? I mean, even when Nidal Hasan was shooting up Ft. Hood, yelling "allahu akbar ", that wasn't terrorism, it was workplace violence.

#6 I suspect the perps' names will Ahmed and Mahmoud, not Donte and LeV'arr, though I'll grant they could be converts and answer both sets.

#11 Washington.CBSlocal update 2:21 pm gives us a perpetrator's name and background:

One of the men who was shot in the incident was identified as Kevin Fleming of Baltimore, U.S. law enforcement sources told CBS News. Fleming reportedly has a lengthy criminal record including for assault.

#12 Yahoo update at 4:00 pm gives us:

Preliminary information indicated the two men were partying at an area hotel with a third individual when they took that individual's car without permission. However, it's still unclear how or why they ended up at the NSA gate.

#14 "Mmmm? Kevin? Whatsisname didn't give us permission to take this thing!"

"By Jove, Donte! That's correct!"

"We must return the vehicle to its proper owner!"

"Quite true. Not to do so would be dishonest! I'll just make a U-turn at this convenient side road here..."

[SMASH!]

"What was that?"

"A concrete barricade!"

"Stop, you villains!"

"And who was that?"

"A possibly armed guard."

[BANG! BANG! BANGETTY BANG!]

"He is armed! [GASP] [RATTLE] I go to a better place!... Rosebud!"

"You can't make a U-turn on a road on the other side of the post from the National Security Agency!"

"Kevi-i-i-i-n"

#17 Jihadis could not do something that stupid, could they?

I would think that if they were jihadis and were crashing the gate, they would have a large quantity of high velocity kinetic material in their vehicle. The guards were lucky that they did not.

#19 Fred, I think you misspelled Dante and Randal.

And no, they weren't supposed to be there today.
