Accused pizzeria gunman brought 3 guns from N.C. in ‘rescue’ attempt

WASHINGTON — A 28-year-old North Carolina man armed with an assault rifle who police say traveled to a popular D.C. pizzeria to “self-investigate” a fake news story about a child sex ring being run there by Hillary Clinton campaign operatives was ordered held without bond at his first court appearance Monday.

Edgar Maddison Welch, of Salisbury North Carolina, is accused of carrying an AR-15 assault rifle into the Comet Ping Pong at the corner of Connecticut and Nebraska avenues Sunday afternoon, pointing it at an employee and firing shots inside the restaurant. Employees and customers fled the restaurant and no one was injured, but the incident shut down parts of Connecticut Avenue and led to a heavy police response.

Welch has been charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and three other weapons-related charges. D.C. Magistrate Judge Joseph Beshouri ordered Welch held without bond during his court appearance Monday. Welch’s next court appearance is Thursday.

"The D.C. restaurant attracted national attention after fake news stories falsely claimed Clinton and her presidential campaign chief ran a child sex ring out of the restaurant." I didn't see any "fake news story" claim Clinton or Podesta ran the ring, although I can't claim to have seen all of them. I did see a lot of speculation about the Podesta emails and what some claimed to be coded messages as well as speculation that Comet Ping Pong (along with other establishments in that area of DC) used symbology that is also used among pedophiles to identify themselves. You can find stuff online if you're interested. Most of it is quite loony to me, some of it makes you go hmmmm.
