   Officials  say  a  shooting  at  a subway station next to the Pentagon
   prompted  officials to impose a security lockdown at the U.S. military
   complex outside Washington.
   Authorities  say three people were shot in the incident, including two
   security officers and the alleged gunman.  None of the injuries appear
   to be life-threatening.
   Media reports say a suspect is in custody.
   Witnesses  say  the  suspect  approached the subway station and opened
   fire, but the motive for the shooting is not clear.
