Lets hold off on this stuff for at least 30 minutes after the event, please.
Rep. Gerry Connolly (R-Va.) was standing on a balcony of the U.S. Capitol with Rep. Matt Cartwright (D-Pa.) when they heard two burst of gunfire coming from the direction of the Rayburn Office Building.
“It was almost like two very rapid fire bursts, very loud,” he said. “They were clearly coming from the direction. That’s when we saw people fleeing, and we realized this was no fireworks. It sounds liked the first volley of a 21 gun salute.”

Local DC crackhead with a baby - it was a police chase that happened to run into the Capitol Bldg.

Why does this comment make me picture the shooter getting shot and then yelling, " Help me Obama-Care"?

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.

C'mon this is ATS. The second the news breaks it's always a false flag...
People just can't understand that sometimes bad people do bad things and they have no motive other than to kill.
