WASHINGTON (AP) — Police locked down the U.S. Capitol on Friday afternoon after a report of gunshots in the area.

U.S. Capitol Police say all Capitol buildings were being locked down “due to an external security threat” and staff members were told they could not enter or exit the buildings.

The MSM will say it is a Trump Supporter, when it is an America hating Muslim.... 😀

[immadashell]

And the response from the left? “See what Trump did?” They won’t let it go until the propagandists convince everyone that Trump was the worst President ever. This is absolute bullshit!

Boy that Putin guy sure moves around fast. There he goes again.

[Alas Babylon!]

Unless it’s a military officer, it’s a civilian. Police officers are civilians. They’re not military.

[RedStateRocker]

Just keep ‘em all within rifle range of their constituents.

And *NO* protection for *ANY* elected official; the original meaning of ‘Tyrant’ was someone so loathed by the people they ruled that they needed security.

“...skittish, Toombs. Very skittish....”

AND Pakistani transgenders are well funded by Nanzi Pelosi’s US Congress...

BAN ALL CARS!!!!

I was thinking that. But probably at night.

...and this is why we can’t have nice things.

I wonder if the driver had his mask on.

Police say 2 officers injured after vehicle rams into barricade at US Capitol

Will undoubtedly, somehow and in someway, be used to go after patriots and conservatives and blame Trump.

[JennysCool]

They’re having a really hard time convincing anyone that Trump was the worst President ever since they illegally replaced him with the ACTUAL worst President ever.

[AppyPappy]

Many times, that kind of thing isn’t done by “I hate the government” types. Sometimes it is people trying to get away from the police or someone else

We could move them closer to their constinuency... like Honduras.

[Skywise]

No no - there’s no fighting in the war room!

[JonPreston]

Hold on to your hats folks, the car was

WHITE!

Perp had NO gun, he had an assault knife:

At the Capitol, Fox is told suspect got out of car with knife and was shot by USCP. Was shot after hitting officers with car.

[Not A Snowbird]

It’s DC. There’s always gunfire nearby.

That was the sound of Joe Biden falling down the White House stairs, not guns. Hope they don’t shut down the city every time he falls

Or poops in the White House hallway - you know, biologic hazard.

Those poor maids must be very busy.
