WOW. This is really big. I have to go take a shower. Took long enough to get it posted. It was on CNN in the lobby of my building and by the time I got to my desk it was not posted. I think you've broken the news on FR. Congratulations.

New alert

Senior State Official says there was an exchange of gunfire outside the Palace where Powell was. Powell is said to be ok. Meetings are being located.

Powell is fine. He was giving his speech live on CNN as they were reporting the gunfire had ceased. Nobody seems to be hurt.

FNC .. confirming there was gunfire .. that Powel was in the Presid. Palace .. the gunfire occurred outside

Powel is safe and is being moved to a safe location

No word on who the shooter/s were

No kidding!!!! He may be a dove, but I think he'd fight to save his own skin (along with his staff).

Powell is fine.

That's good! We may not agree with him (or what he's reported to think, Lord only knows what's actually going on), but I wish him a long & happy retirement after years of service to the USA.
