Holy Shit: The US Capitol is on lockdown

[gopiscrap]

our country is so fucked up!!! 2nd and Constitution is the site, several injured per MSNBC they changed it to 1st and Constitution.

[bunnies]

1. 2nd and Constitution?

THATS where they shot? Are you KIDDING me?

[gopiscrap]

4. No 1st and Constitution

injury reports say at least one Capitol Police officer is injured

[GreenPartyVoter]

8. Oh no!

[Pretzel_Warrior]

5. Pretty fucking bizarre, huh?

[GreenPartyVoter]

7. Think it's just a coincidence?

[Warpy]

11. The Capitol isn't in the world's greatest area.

It could be morons taking potshots at each other.

Or it could be a message to the Clown Congress.

They'll probably kill the shooter, so we might never know.

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. Yeah. I've heard that it's a pretty rough area.

[Whisp]

19. If you have seen House of Cards with Kevin Spacey

note the story of The Brick...

That's what I'm thinking.

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. Yeah. Hope everyone is Ok!

[MoonRiver]

3. Wonder how many Capitol police are available, i.e. not furloughed.

This is of course the PERFECT time for a terrorist or lunatic to attack. Thanks Boner.

6. Said policeman injured.

[Wounded Bear]

9. Funny how the "Arab" channel is the most reliable source...

[Cleita]

14. Yep. It's the one I watch the most these days. n/t

[cilla4progress]

10. What's next...

we are turning into a 3rd world guerrila run country.

Hope no one was killed or hurt badly.

[gopiscrap]

18. No kidding, I can't believe how fucked up the tea party has made our nation

[seabeyond]

12. saying shots not fired just outside, but inside too. nt

[GreenPartyVoter]

15. Inside too? How does someone manage that?

[seabeyond]

17. thru cspan listening to the local news. senate aide. (unconfirmed). nt

[Boomerproud]

21. I assume no one from the public is touring in DC so how can they be inside?

n/t

[seabeyond]

24. telling what is being said on cspan. i take it all a grain of salt since this is fluid... nt

[Junkdrawer]

25. Maybe THAT'S how the Capitol Police were injured....

Going in guns blazing?

[GreenPartyVoter]

26. Could be. Or shots inside were from Police? I have no idea how they are set up down there.

[seabeyond]

16. several people injuried including an officer. nt

[LiberalLoner]

20. Helicopter landed on west front area of Capitol on the mall, not sure why,

Maybe to evacuate a VIP?

Sheesh. My husband works at DOE, in easy walking distance of the Capitol. I called him to let him know. Bosses there are monitoring situation via TV

[seabeyond]

22. active shooter situation. still looking for gunmen. nt

[seabeyond]

23. streets now completely empty, but police. nt

[seabeyond]

28. on the balcony of house, hear 5, 6 shots fired. nt

[seabeyond]

30. unconfirmed shooter is in custody. nt

[seabeyond]

31. incident outside of the hart building. the newest of buildings. nt

[seveneyes]

29. I'm guessing a police chase ending with gunshots

Seems more likely than an assault on the Capital.

[Capt. Obvious]

32. Just heard it started as a WH breach

chase ensued, shots.
