I think people are confusing this story. There is NO report from anyone close to the event of shots being fired. There is however a confirmed report of a man with a gun.
“Active police event” at @USATODAY HQ in Tysons Corner, #Virginia, @FairfaxCountyPD confirms to me but has no further details.

This just in: the CBS affiliate in DC is reporting of a man with an assault weapon storming the Gannett bldg in Fairfax, VA. Gannett is the publisher of USA TODAY. Citizens must avoid the area until further notice.

Police confirming that there’s a report of a person with a gun is not police saying that there IS a person with a gun.

And for the sake of all at USA Today let’s hope it is just a false report.
.@USATODAY says reports of a person with a weapon at their suburban Washington HQ was a mistake. There was no such person. Everyone is safe

Panic in Times Square over a backfiring motorcycle. USA Today evacuating its headquarters today. Terrified parents dreading the start of school this month because we know it will bring more shootings.
