BREAKING ...

The U.S. Capitol is in lockdown, amid reports of shots being fired.

Hmmm.....thanks. It may or may not be important later but I thought it worth mentioning in this day of Islamist terror.

[Mr. Wright]

Is it a rich, white, Republican, Christian, male who is a member of the NRA and the TEA Party? If not, it will not be a good day nor a good story for the news media.

See #352 penelopesire. We are funding this television station.

I hope so but anymore?????

[GeronL]

“ovamaPhone Handout Night” ???

[Irenic]

Rest in peace, lady. God bless her child, just horrific.

[thouworm]

Pen: What is a pit maneuver?

[StolarStorm]

If I had a bunch of guns aimed at me, I’d be more panicked that I’d get shot then I would be about having a warrant out on me. Rather be arrested than shot. Maybe she was on crack.

[GeronL]

Why is government funding this crap?

[penelopesire]

Normal Cops don’t shot first either.especially when a baby is in the car.

[Sarah Barracuda]

If she turns out to be an innocent woman who just got lost and they shot her anyway, that will be just awful..I guess the cops can say the car was itself a weapon but still..she had her little kid in the car either she was off her nut or she was confused about where she was and freaked out

[Disambiguator]

Is that squeaky?

[big'ol_freeper]

:’)

[SE Mom]

I saw a cop lying on a gurney with his hands folded across his chest, eyes open, looked with it.

[Uncle Miltie]

"Normal Cops don’t shot first either."

I'll take that bet.

[dragnet2]

Hours later, why are thousands of cops just standing around?

[Doogle]

..for those watching the car chase...Alhurra (Arabic: الحرة‎ al-Ḥurrah [alˈħurra],[note 1] "the Free One") is a United States-based Arabic-language satellite TV channel funded by the U.S. Congress that broadcasts news and current affairs programming to audiences in the Middle East and North Africa.

This is a new one to me GeronL. Wish I had an honest and true answer to your question. I could speculate but most would not like my answer as to why.

[ponygirl]

"I am going with cops gone wild."

Me too. My armchair guess is a road rage incident caused driver to hit gate near White House. Some plain clothes dude jumped out from behind a bush with gun drawn and she fled. Cops pursued to Capitol building, shot her dead. No gun drawn, no threat, just stupid. Death by cop.

[nfldgirl]

They could have just as easily shot out the tires and that would have disabled her PDQ!
