obozo and the DC ruling elite needed more reason to keep people out so they staged some gun fire. They will now build up security and likely build a huge wall because those in DC know the people are pissed off to the point of fuming and this will help to preempt any future backlash from the American people.

I believe you are correct...is it possible someone didn’t see the signs?

““Shelter in Place”...what an emasculating phrase. “

The whole culture and Christianity has been emasculated (through control of information and by Words and Language).

It is the M.O. of Marxists to collapse a culture-—destroy the Patriarchy and Christianity to created emotionally dysfunctional and crippled people who submit to State control (victimhood/feminization/dependency). Controlling words will control the attitudes and beliefs-—particularly of the children raised from early childhood under such PC blurring of Truth/Words and elimination of Wisdom of the Ages/Mind control.

They destroy self-reliance and moral formation (virtue) by demeaning masculinity (moral males) and true Christian Ethics, by glorifying evil and vice and dependency and rewarding disfunction. Without Virtue, culture will collapse because Freedom is impossible. Promoting “public virtue” is the only purpose of a Just Law....and now we have a Vice System (unconstitutional) and Words and phrases that obscure the truth.

” ... a report of “possible” shots fired in D.C. makes national and world wide news.”

This was at the U.S. Capitol. When shots are fired in, say, Anacostia, it doesn’t make the news.

Either ROP or one of Obama's sons otherwise they'd already have the name of the perp.

Probably an Obama son in a crack buying dispute with some Federal employee.

Joining all you immature commenters

Yesterday Moose said, "this is the ... Obama administration last Easter it whirl ... and ... and if we think about what we've accomplished over the past seven years it's pretty incredible ... because when Baloch and I first got here one of the goals that we had was to open up the White House to is many people ... from as many backgrounds as possible ... to open it up to our kids"

Except, of course when we CLOSE IT during the sequester.

I grew up hearing “Be on the lookout for” followed by a descriptive identification of the suspect(s).

It is apparently now forbidden to disseminate any descriptive information that could be in any way useful in the apprehension of the criminals responsible for committing acts of violence against law abiding citizens.

The media is not on our side, they have joined with our enemies.

Well put, carrying guns in DC and on the Capitol grounds is a crime. People wouldn’t violate the law.

Guns know that they aren’t allowed to come to the Capitol. There is even a sign telling them so. This must just be a misunderstanding.

(/sarc, just in case)

If this were a “real” threat I could stream live video of F-16’s and any number of Military helicopters from my location.

The “false” twitter report of a bombing at the White House a few years ago garnered more response.

You seem to be referring to rumors regarding one of our fine upstanding presidential candidates. Of course I could be wrong, most of those that claim to represent us are of somewhat less than stellar moral character.

I think you may actually be insulting hookers, maybe should apologize to them.

Yes, and I especially remember that day because the owner of the business next door walked in and killed 2 of his employees and a court appointed attorney. A bunch of their people came running through my shop screaming for help, a single look at their faces told us that it was for real, every single guy here dove for their gun and faced the doors they ran in. Since that day every one of us has a gun squirreled around the place in our toolboxes or desk somewhere.

July 24 1998 was a day I won’t forget.

Aw geez! Wash DC WMAL idiot Brian Wilson has now said twice, “...the Capitol Police had an interaction with the suspect...”

Hard to believe this guy was once a Texan...then again he was a CNN news mgr once upon a time.

Did the cops arrest him next door or did he run?

“Shooter in custody. One officer slightly injured (his pride).”

Thanks for the update. I went to the original story link an here is the update they had there, as you said:

“Though the Capitol was previously locked down, the lockdown was later lifted, according to a Reuters source.

A Capitol Police spokeswoman had no immediate comment but said the office would be issuing a statement soon. The shooter was said to be in custody.

Early reports suggested one Capitol police officer was shot, though later reports suggested the officer was wounded by shrapnel rather than the shot directly. The D.C. Police Department said that the shooting was an isolated incident.”
