Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Signs supporting Comet Pizza outside the restaurant's door.
A North Carolina man armed with a rifle walked into D.C. pizza restaurant Comet Ping Pong on Sunday afternoon. He fired shots before he was arrested on a number of gun and property destruction charges. The gunman claims he was “self-investigating” allegations that have taken root online about the restaurant’s involvement in a Hillary Clinton-backed child sex trafficking ring. The claims have proven false, but show the far reach and real-life implications of political conspiracy theories in local communities. We talk with neighborhood business owners and residents about the reaction to the episode and their plans moving forward.
