Gunman arrested after showing up armed at CIA HQ after JFK files are released
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Chilling images captured the moment a disheveled suspected gunman was taken into custody outside the CIA headquarters on Wednesday morning after he was seen making threats with a weapon near the agency's base.

The armed man, seen wearing camouflage and sporting long hair and a beard, sent the agency's headquarters in Langley, Virginia into lockdown as cops raced to the scene.

Reports indicate the suspect, who has not been identified, experienced a 'mental health crisis', was seen sitting on a bench outside the property and pointed a handgun at the agency headquarters.

Police, SWAT teams and bomb squads rushed to the scene, and a passerby described the law enforcement response as 'massive', per the US Sun.

Early reports falsely indicated the man fired his weapon into the air outside the CIA headquarters, however a law enforcement source told WJLA that no shots were fired in the incident.

There are no reports of injuries or deaths as a result of the situation, which closed down the area around the agency.

A nearby school was also placed on lockdown as the incident unfolded.

The incident comes just hours after President Trump ordered the release of classified files related to the 1963 assassination of John F. Kennedy.

Conspiracy theories have swirled in the decades since the assassination that the CIA was involved in the shooting, however there is no indication from law enforcement that the gunman incident on Wednesday morning was related to the file release.

The CIA headquarters have faced several previous similar incidents, most recently in 2021 when an armed man was wounded in a shooting with an FBI agent.

In 1993, two CIA employees were killed and three others were wounded when a Pakistani man opened fire outside the Langley headquarters.
