Just about an hour ago shots were fired outside the Capital Building……and all the Senators and Congresspeople crapped on themselves……..
(Newser) – The US Capitol is on security lockdown after reports of shots fired outside the building, the AP reports. People are being told to shelter in place and “close, lock, and stay away from external doors and windows.” Capitol police say that one officer has been injured, though details are sketchy. Both the House and Senate went into recess immediately, reports CNN.
“It was almost like two very rapid fire bursts, very loud,” says Rep. Gerry Connolly, was was standing on a Capitol balcony, reports the Washington Post. “They were clearly coming from the direction of the Rayburn Office Building. That’s when we saw people fleeing, and we realized this was no fireworks. It sounded liked the first volley of a 21-gun salute.”
I wonder how many hid behind the skirts of their office women……just look at their faces…..AFRAID! Fear is a sobering thing……more to come……
Rep Tim Griffin (while hiding in a “House Cloakroom off the Floor”): “Stop the violent rhetoric President Obama, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. #Disgusting” (via twitter)
Got that? They started blaming this on Obama while the woman (apparently it was a woman?) was still shooting.
Also: Just a bit of advice.. it’s probably not wise to tweet our your hiding place.. just saying.
Mathius…I bet all our “courageous” reps are busy cleaning their drawers out……this situation is humorous….talking to all these people that “heard” the shots…..a yawn at best…..
