(Oct. 20) -- At least six shots were fired at the Pentagon on Tuesday by a still-unidentified party, not two as was originally reported.

Investigators originally found two windows on the exterior of the building that had been hit by one bullet each. But today, Steven Calvery, director of the Pentagon Force Protection Agency, said the investigation has determined that four additional bullets hit the Pentagon's facade, according to CNN.

Authorities are continuing their search for the gunman today. Calvery said Tuesday he thought the shooting was "a random event." (D.C. has a notoriously high rate of gun violence).

The FBI is looking at videotapes from the Pentagon and surrounding roads and buildings to try to shed some light on the attack. Authorities have not determined what type of gun fired the bullets, but Calvery said he thought they had come from a rifle.
