There has been a "security incident" at the entrance to the NSA's headquarters in Fort Meade, Maryland:
Several people have been injured and a suspect was taken into custody after a car crashed outside the US National Security Agency's headquarters.
Gunfire rang out after the black SUV approached the facility in Fort Meade, Maryland, without authorisation.
An NSA spokesman said it was unclear if the shots had been fired by law enforcement officers or the suspect, adding that the scene was now secure.

This is how you a lot of bullshit "fake news" gets started. "This attack can be" uh huh, except that the article itself quotes ""We believe there is no indication that anything more than an isolated incident of what happened here today this morning," said Mr Johnson, stressing that it was not terrorism related"
So not an attack, the very phrasing creates misconceptions. #1 accident - MOST LIKELY
Yes I get that you were probably just responding to the headline, but how do you think crappy news gets through the reporter and editor's desks?

Your suggesting that shots where fired accidental outside NSA headquarters at the same time as a car crashed.

Say you’re driving your car in an unfamiliar area and some dude starts shooting at you. You crap your pants and probably crash the car in your panic. All because some overly jittery gun toting security guard panicked in fear that 911part2 was in progress.

Goddammit, are you telling me that the prototype flying car crashed before it even lifted off?
