Sheriff deputies find live ammunition outside Capitol

Dozens of rounds of live ammunition were found outside the Capitol Thursday morning, law enforcement officials said.

Dane County deputies found 11 rounds near the State street entrance Thursday morning, said UW-Madison Police Chief Susan Riseling. Twenty-nine rounds were found near the King Street entrance, and one round was found near the North Hamilton Street entrance, Riseling said.

Department of Administration lawyer Steven Means is asking that the Capitol be cleared for a security check.

Riseling said all the bullets were 22-caliber long rifle hollow points. Officers were conducting a sweep of the grassy areas and bushes outside the Capitol.

4. In my limited experience

Bullets don't often hurt anyone without some mechanism to propel them. This has all the earmarks of an agent provocateur. I wonder who tipped off the cops to look around for bullets at the doorways to the Capitol?

13. Protestors should split up with cameras and watch the police. If there is

anyone in uniform - observe whether they are look-outs for 'planters' (or if it is Michelle Bachmann).

15. Planted I bet

[Uncle Joe]

17. Does this mean that nobody can afford a gun like the guys that brought guns to Obama's rallies?
