Fox News reporting there are reports of shots being fired in the parking level of the Rayburn (House of Representatives) office building. Tell all people in the building to seek shelter. Stay away from all windows. Building locked down.

Yikes.

just checked the channel, they are saying it happened in the parking lot now

Capitol police doing a room to room search now.

 

Shots fired in a parking level. It's was probably a backfire.

The FBI terrorism task force is now on the scene. Something's happening here. I just heard the phrase 'four ambulances' but no reports of anyone wounded.

Probably just some nut-job, not a terrorist.

Capital Hill Police tell Fox they've found someone with a gun.

There are now unconfirmed reports of EMT's rushing into the building with a gurney. Press conference starting now.

Probably just some nut-job, not a terrorist.

 

Ah, I'd much rather be shot dead by a plain ol' nut-job. :rolly

 

j/k. I was hoping it was somebody's car backfiring, but 4 ambu,ances on teh scene doesn't make it sound that way.

The press conference consists of "I don't have that information at this time."

The man has a point.

 

I didn't mean to be that dismissive. I was just saying that this isn't something to treat as a terrorist attack.

 

A woman was wheeled out on a gurney and put in an ambulance.

Someone has definitely taken out on a gurney. I just saw video of it. Whether or not this lady needed medical attention as a result of the fired shots is not known at this time. The lady appeared to be in pretty good shape as the gurney was raised into what I'd call a recliner position.

Since this doesn't appear to be as dire as once thought - now I can ask if Dick Cheney just got lost on his way to go hunting?

Yes you can ... Look up. He's about 50' from you.

Good thing I'm not wearing an Orioles hat then. I'd really be screwed.

That immediately reminded me of the Seinfeld episode.

A woman was wheeled out on a gurney and put in an ambulance.

 

Apparently, she was suffering from anxiety.

Panic attacks are the worst.

 

Sounds like no one was injured? Did they figure out what it was?

No definitive news yet ... another press conference starting now.

Followed closely by being shot in a House parking lot. . .

 

I'll take the panic attack, thanks.

lol - no kidding.

No reported injuries. No arrests made. Investigation ongoing.

Whoever made the call better have really heard something or they might be in hot water.

Reports now claim that the "gunfire" was nothing more than air hammer being used in an elevator shaft.
