Well, a guy with a gun in an office building isn't really that much more of a story, frankly.The Congressional office buildings? Someone wandering through the halls of Congress (literally) with a gun in hand (or in backpack) not a story?
You don't get it at all, do you?

"Tunnels to Capitol being sealed off" Haven't been there since way before 9/11, but it used to be that the only metal detectors were at the outside entrances...meaning you could get between all three House office buildings, the Capitol and the Senate office buildings without going thru a checkpoint again.

Because the O.J. Simpson case was such a ratings bonanza for them, the cable new channels seem unable to kick the habit of hyping at least one or two legal cases a year. As for me, if I never hear the name Peterson again, it will be too soon.

BTW: The Cannon is the closest building to a Metro station (Capitol South)...

Surely he wouldnt just be 'testing" the security..knowing at this building he would get shot.

Presser on CNN/MSNBC: "Precautions" being taken in other office buildings, won't go into further detail for obvious reasons.

Police have orders to "take the man down" They later qualified that the police may shoot him but under no circumstance can they intimidate or scare him.

Thu October 30, 2003 01:51 PM ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. House of Representatives office building was shut down on Thursday by Capitol police, who said they received a report that a person with a gun may have breached security.
"We have information that someone with a gun made an unauthorized entrance into the Cannon office building," U.S. Capitol Police spokeswoman Jessica Gissubel told a local NBC affiliate. The man was possibly carrying a .38 caliber pistol, she said.
