Subject: Breaking: Reports of shots fired on Capitol Hill
(CNN) – U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said on Thursday that one person was injured in a shooting on Capitol Hill, CNN's Dana Bash reports.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has dispatched units to the Capitol, near Garfield Circle, which is on the west front of the Capitol Building.
An order was given over the Capitol speaker system to shelter in place because of an active shooter situation.
Capitol Police sent out the following advisory to staffers:
"SHELTER IN PLACE. Gunshots have been reported on Capitol Hill requiring all occupants in all House Office Buildings to shelter in place. Close, lock and stay away from external doors and windows. Take annunciators, Go Kits and escape hoods; and move to the innermost part of the office away from external doors or windows. If you are not in your office, take shelter in the nearest office, check in with your OEC and wait for USCP to clear the incident. No one will be permitted to enter or exit the building until directed by USCP. All staff should monitor the situation. Further information will be provided as it becomes available."
The House and Senate went into recess after the shooting
Supposedly the Capital Police were working without pay today. And one was injured.

The situation started as an attempt to rush the White House gates? Yikes.

Suspect dead.
Unsurprising. Don't try to break into the white house and then flee towards the Capitol.

I am sure that MSNBC and FoxNews are working very hard to find the voter identification card.

Well, this woman obviously forgot the part about needing a busload of North Korean commandos armed to the teeth, a pair of suicide bombers to blow open the front gate, a pair of Dept of Sanitation trucks loaded with 50 cals plus an exploding bus... And some handy RPG's to knock out the security posts...
Of course, all we'd need to fix the situation is an angry Gerard Butler!

If you think your important, in the great scheme of things. Do the water test.
Put your hands in a bucket of warm water,
then pull them out fast. The size of the hole shows how important you are.
I think we should roll some dice, to see if we should roll some dice, To decide if all this dice rolling is good for the game.
