A man armed with an assault rifle and a handgun fired more than 20 rounds into a West Virginia federal courthouse building before he was shot dead by police on Wednesday.<br /><br />The man, later identified as retired police officer Thomas Piccard, fired shots from a parking lot across from the Wheeling Federal Building.<br /><br />Shots struck the courthouse, shattering windows. Those inside dove under desks to shield themselves from the assault.<br /><br />"Members of my staff were crawling on the floor or running from office to office telling people to get away from the windows," said U.S. Attorney Bill Ihlenfeld, according to a report by ABC News.<br /><br />Piccard next drew a pistol and continued firing at the building. <br /><br />Officials say it's still too early to determine who, if anyone, Piccard was targeting in the building and what his exact motives were.<br /><br />"That's still trying to be determined," said Bob Johnson, the assistant special agent in charge of the FBI's Pittsburgh office, according to ABC News.<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />TomoNews is your daily source for top animated news.
