Gunman in Congressional Office Building

Post by kojikun »

Just heard it live from NPR. A man with a gun, and a woman, entered an office building used by Congress, while congressmen were there, just a few minutes ago.

Not to sound too callous, but lets hope they kill Dianne Feinstein and Chuckie Schumer.

CNN reports they ran, or did when I last glanced.

Further into the building, yes. They got through the scanners and took off down a hallway or something before they could be detained

You know, under the last 3 years or so of Bush, more shit's gone down
than ever did under 8 years of Clinton.

Course, even if said gunman gets that far, Feinstein's ARMED GUARDS
will shoot him dead most likely.

Ker-rist. Don't they expect the fuckers to run?

I don't blame the security for letting him flee. It was probably QUITE a suprise for them. That said, if the Capitol police and SWAT let him get away, then that's sloppy.

I reckon it'd be hard for a guy who's probably never pulled his gun out to shoot someone just like that out of the blue, even if it's the right thing to do. It'd cause hesitation if it's never done before.

The verdict is in. The people were staff workers who were wearing halloween costumes and had a toy gun.
