The U.S. Capitol and its office buildings were briefly locked down Tuesday after suspects nearby shot at District of Columbia police with a small machine gun.

Police arrested three men after stopping their car about two blocks from the Capitol, Police Chief Cathy Lanier said.

Police were alerted to a man with a gun near Fort McNair in southwest Washington, about a mile and a half south of the Capitol, shortly after 4 p.m., police spokesman Dustin Sternbeck said.

What kind of gun is a "small machine gun"?

[Crucial]

And how do you not kill multiple people with one?

The DO”J” has released TENS of thousands of felons.
The DH”S” imports a million a year.

On a two dimensional surface, all points will be
contacted eventually, even if the terrorists
are drunk (plagiarized from Polya).

There should be no releases or importation.
But there is, and will be, paid for by Ryan.

Is that actually the suspect?

uzis are kind of cute and petit

[Zeneta]

Yes it is.

IMHO, he looks more African than a Black American.

How about a lock out instead?

[Olog-hai]

Sure, so long as it’s extended to the other branches of “givernment” too.

Along with flags constantly at half mast, America appears weak and unable defend herself.

Obama does have to “give space” for his allies to do their dirty work.

...a small machine gun.

Can't wait to find out what kind of weapon it really was.

Another of Obama’s sons. Someone should check the sign in list for the Lincoln Bedroom from the night before.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Time to get rid of the wall around the White House. It’s racist.

"..What kind of gun is a "small machine gun?.."

Wouldn't that be an M60 or some such? Isn't that about the smallest "machine gun" before they start with "sub-machine guns" (i.e. Mac10 & 11, Uzi (mini and full grown), P90's and such? d;^)

[Old Yeller]

Gee, I hope Charley Rangel tweets again to let us know he’s safe. Bless his heart.
