Breaking News! Reports of a shooter at the Capitol. Update!

6:48 AM By


There is still a lot of confusion but apparently there is a LEAST one shooter and people have been rushed inside by Capitol police to protect them while they put of barricades to keep them safe.

By the way the Capitol police are doing this without pay today due to the government shutdown.

I think the Republicans just got their asses handed to them by karma.

Update: Well this figures.
Apparently these assholes don't respect ANY authority.

Update: The crisis is over, but it did not end well.

This from Politico:

Two eyewitness said U.S. Capitol Police fired multiple shots at a black sedan on Constitution Avenue near the Hart Senate Office Building. Two people — including a child — were removed from the vehicle. One adult from the vehicle appeared to be hit by gunfire, according to a eyewitness on the scene. A helicopter landed on Capitol grounds, and one person was taken away.

A female suspect was shot and killed, WJLA reported.

Secret Service at the White House say the car slammed into the south side of the White House gate and then fled to Capitol.

When shots were fired, Capitol Police cleared the plaza on the East Front of the Capitol, and quickly moved dozens of members of Congress, aides, reporters and tourists into rooms.

I am also seeing reports on Twitter that the child in the car was killed as well. (Never mind, those turned out to be false.)

This simply could not be a worse week for Washington D.C.

Update: I guess the question of the day is what drove that woman to ram the security gate outside of the White House and why did she exit her car firing shots at police?
