Nowhere to run govt buildings all locked up

i know thats probably a joke but for serious all buildings on the hill currently only have one entrance/exit and capitol police are only at 25% force because all work is voluntary.

Fucking hell... Broven I hope your friend is all good.

all reports are making it sound like it was outside and he is usually plain clothes inside so fingers are crossed.

Well, if that doesn't make a statement, nothin' will.

Looks like someone got pissed off enough about the whole thing they tried to get into Congress and bag themselves a few elected officials. Hope the officer's OK and they give the shooter a lead-filled sendoff to the nearest morgue before he gets a chance to shoot anyone else. WTOP reports a Capitol Police officer's been injured.

rip democracy

Random reportage saying the officer was not shot, but injured in a vehicle crash. Of course, the entire area is in lockdown at this point.

Officer got a chopper ride to the hospital courtesy of US Park Police.

CNN's showing the car the shooter apparently was in, looks more than a mite banged up.

BREAKING: Female driver tried to ram her car into White House gate, Secret Service chased to Capitol Hill

Based on the information, seems like a case of a citizen pushed to the brink and lost it.
