Pizzagate took a turn for the even more bizarre on Sunday, as a
man with an assault rifle walked into Comet Ping Pong to
"self-investigate" the Baltimore, Maryland, pizza parlor that internet conspiracy theorists say is at the center of an
international child sex ring run by prominent Democrats. 28-year-old Edgar Maddison Welch, of Salisbury, N.C.,
reportedly fired the rifle at least once inside the restaurant but no one was injured.
As HeatSt.com reports, Washington, D.C., police arrested the man Sunday afternoon, after restaurant employees saw a man, described as being in his early 20s and
carrying an "assault rifle," work his way through the dining room and then attempt to enter the staff work area at the back of the building.
Restaurant workers acted quickly, getting staff and patrons—including a number of children—to safety and dialing 911.
Authorities were quick to respond. They subdued and arrested the man and secured the restaurant. No one was injured.
Comment: This only adds more fuel to the fire of the whacked out conspiracy theorist angle. Here is the owner's statement.

Update:Coincidentally (or not), the gunman's father seems to have
served as the Executive Director for Protect-A-Child. Welch also worked for his father's film production company, and spent time
in Haiti. The mainstream media is blaming "
fake news". More info on Welch
here. He is said to have fired one shot into the floor of the building,
after it had been evacuated.
Curiously, Trump's national security advisor's son, Michael G. Flynn, tweeted this yesterday (he's been tweeting regularly about pizzagate):
Never question official narratives. People who do are dangerous. We need new laws against "conspiracy" theorists.
