Walter Reed Shooting; Outsourcing Nat’l Security
That’s right! Let’s keep on outsourcing our security for military facilities! It’s a great idea!
An armed security guard at Walter Reed Army Medical Center opened fire at another guard Wednesday outside a busy entrance to the hospital, police said. No one was injured.
The guards had been arguing at about 8:30 a.m. when one of them fired as many as 10 shots, Lt. Jimmie Riley said.

The guards are employed by a private security firm, which is under contract to Walter Reed.

The hospital in Washington is the Army’s premier center for treating injured soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
