WASHINGTON (AP) -- The D.C. medical examiner says the man who
opened fire at the Pentagon died from head and arm injuries.
Thirty-six-year-old John Patrick Bedell approached a Pentagon security checkpoint on March 4 and began shooting. Three officers
returned fire, and two of them suffered minor injuries. The officers fatally wounded Bedell, who had a history of mental illness.
D.C. Office of the Chief Medical Examiner spokeswoman Beverly
Fields said Monday that the cause of Bedell's death was gunshot
wounds to his head and left arm. She says the manner of his death
was ruled a homicide.
Fields says Bedell's body was brought to the medical examiner's
office on March 4, and an autopsy was done within 24 hours.
