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.
