  The Capitol Building is about 4 blocks from the Navy Yard. Crazy in DC.

  Crazy. I was thinking about riding my bike down there, but I got side tracked.

  I can see the capitol on my drive home - better not fuck up my commute.
• Me?

  

  I saw a report that said police were chasing a car, cornered it and the suspect started shooting. Just happened to be in the area of the Capitol. No idea if that is true, we know how reliable these early reports are. But it sure made it sound like it didn't have a single thing to do with the Capitol.

  Just saw on Twitter that a female suspect has been shot and killed.

  Sounds like they cornered the car after chasing it down after the car tried to ram the gates of the White House and failed.
• Me?

  

  What kind of idiot thinks they can ram a car through the gates at the White House...as if they haven't thought of that....

  Radio saying the suspect tried to ram a barricade at/near WH, then fled to the Capitol. Suspect is a woman and is dead.

  I thought it was illegal to own guns in DC.

  She probably snapped after she was unable to register for Obamakare yesterday and have her abortion

  I guess the congressmen/women will have to take the day off from taking the day off.

  Yep. And of course one of my raging liberal friends on facebook who lives in DC posted this:
  

  Shooting is over. Now Congress can get back to not passing gun legislation.

  You should inform your friend that DC has some of the strictest gun laws in the country.

  She did this with a child in the vehicle. Classy.

  His head is too far up Obama's ass he wouldn't know how to process that information.
• Me?

  

  I have yet to even read a report that she had a gun....not saying she didn't, but has that been confirmed? Just because there were shots fired doesn't mean she fired any, if you try to ram your way onto 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue they're going to shoot you whether you have a gun or not.

  On fox they said she shot from her car and the police waited for the go ahead to take action,then forced her off the road and exchanged fire.
  CNN is a little different. They say she fired shots at the scene we see on TV. They don't mention the shots before though.

  Good point.

  Yeah, now I'm seeing reports of exchanged fire.
