Police Seal Off Parts Of U.S. Capitol After Report Of Gunfire

Gunfire was reported just off the fringe of Capitol Hill on Wednesday, and there were unconfirmed reports of at least one injury.

Police briefly sealed off part of the Capitol as a precaution.

Officials did not immediately confirm any details of the incident.

Robert Drumm, a tourist from Oklahoma visiting the nation's capital with his family, said in an interview, "There were so many gunshots being fired my family got down."

Drumm said he saw one victim, not wearing a police uniform, taken away in an ambulance.

Drumm said he first noticed trouble when he saw one car speeding and being chased by a police vehicle.

Numerous emergency vehicles converged quickly in the area.

Another witness, Dale Lanigan of Toledo, Ohio, described a similar scene, although he said two police cars gave chase. As the car went past him, Lanigan said, "the driver had one hand on the wheel and it looked like he was reaching for something."

Lanigan said he then heard shots and police ordered him to get away. He said the driver of the car was taken away in an ambulance.

Cher the DC residents have no motive to discharge a firearm there. It's clearly a right-wing terrorist.

Still it was near the Captiol. Not the crime/residential areas.

Crack wasn't a problem, until it reached white suburbia. Or so Ice Cube or someone said in I think Boyz in Da Hood.

I don't think a gang member would wave a gun at police 2 blocks from the Capitol.

You brought in this random assertion when the more likely thing is that a man was trying to get to the Capitol to shoot people. Right wing activists have often announced their wish and intention to see Congress removed or killed.

I'm gonna go with the gangster theory. Sometimes gang violence does spread outside the ghetto, you know.

It does sometimes, but not that much. This is so close to the heart of the nation that I think even gangsters would have some sense to not cross that line.

I agree with Sel, it's some mad, drunk right wing radical.

Or it could just be some domestic dispute. Or an argument between two business associates. Or someone could have felt ripped off, told to f*** off, returns with gun. Or someone cut someone off in traffic and the person went ape shit. Or or or..

Apparently some guy was fleeing from a traffic accident, pulled a gun and got shot and killed...
"OMG! I hit another car! I gotta flee!" *runs his ass off*
"Fuck! Cops!" *pulls out a gun, shoots and officer and get's shot himself*

Why does it have to be a gang related or terrorist related incident.

I think it was just some cracy ass who was getting chased by police for speeding or something, freaked out and pulled an unregistered concealed firearm and shot wildly to get the cops to stop chasing him which obviously didn't worl. Duh B)

Rednecks pack every type of heat.

Maybe it's both a right winger and a gang member.
