Autopsy Result Released

The medical examiner says an autopsy on the man who opened fire at the Pentagon nearly two weeks ago died from gunshot wounds to his head and arm. Thirty-six-year-old John Patrick Bedell approached a Pentagon security checkpoint on March 4 and started shooting. Three officers returned fire fatally wounding Bedell, who had a history of mental illness. Internet material reportedly posted by Bedell indicated he may have been upset about the suicide of a U.S. military officer that he felt was really a murder.
