ABC News ^

Posted on 03/29/2017 7:09:01 AM PDT by bryan999

Shots were fired this morning near the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.

U.S. Capitol Police responded to the area at Washington Ave and Independence Ave, which is located near the U.S. Botanic Garden and the Rayburn House office building.

The suspect apparently struck a Capitol Police cruiser and then tried running over several officers who were on foot, according to Metro DC Police. At some point, Capitol Police fired shots, but no one was hit.

The suspect was apprehended at 3rd and Independence Ave, and has been taken into custody.

No one was hit by the suspect's car, police said.

The FBI said it would assist Capitol Police at scene. There is no clear indication of a motive, or if this was intentional or not, according to the FBI.

Later today police will hold a press conference at Bartholdi Park.

Police were kept safe by standing so she would have to parallel park to hit them.

HAHA!

I actually saw a bona fide Amish gentleman casually walking on 57th St. in Manhattan a couple weeks back. Complete with Abe Lincoln-style beard, straw hat and suspenders.

Yes, I froze up in complete terror, because I know what these bloodthirsty Amish are capable of, but luckily he walked past me without incident....

...and I’ll put the sarcasm tag right here -—> /s

How could they possibly know for sure unless he didn't have pants on.

I've seen several diesel dykes that look like men.

Some people also wear disguises when committing crimes.
