Shots Fired at U.S. Capitol in Washington

Tinfoil hat time.

My prediction although I might be stating the obvious:
If the suspect is an Obama fanatic or a Muslim, then it will be hushed up quickly.
If the suspect is Caucasian and right leaning in any way, we will never hear he end of how evil gun owners are.

Some reports are saying the shooter may have been a woman.

- total of about 13 shots fired.
- (armed?) woman driver was chased and killed by the SS.
- conflicting reports of a police officer injured either by being shot or by being hit by a car.

Sounds like from the press conference that no one has definitively concluded whether or not the female was armed or not, or at least nobody is saying if they know.

Female suspect killed by law enforcement.  Child in the car safely removed.  No word on a possible motive, or if reports of the woman firing/possessing a gun are accurate.

On a potentially related story, President Obama 20 miles away from DC.  Instead of working to solve the problem, he is giving speeches in Maryland to demonize Republicans who he says are the problem.

If a president says the Congress is his problem, that means the government is working as designed!!   :thumbsup:

Woman driving her Infiniti tried to breach a temporary barricade and hit a SS agent.
Woman sped away in her Infiniti when officers drew on her.
One SS agent was injured when he got hit by the woman's car. 
Another police officer that was injured hurt himself during the chase when he rammed into a barricade.
Woman was not armed, was shot and killed by law enforcement.  She "used her vehicle as a weapon".
All shots fired were by law enforcement or secret service.
One year old in the back of the car was unhurt.

Tragic.

The chase began about 2:15 p.m. at a White House security checkpoint, where the woman struck a barrier and a Secret Service officer with her black Infiniti. The woman fled that fortified icon and headed straight for another: the Capitol.


its a Nissan

Authorities said the woman was not armed, and although the incident was first reported as a shooting at the Capitol, the only shots were fired by officers

BTW, notice how the stories still say "SHOTS FIRED blah blah blah CAPITOL blah" when the only people shooting were LE/Security?

The media knows ... people comprehend based on sound bites.  Sad situation in this  low-information nation!!

Yet another example of preventable tragedy.

Tens of thousands of FATALITIES are caused every year by automobiles.

This does not even include the countless injuries and senseless street violence happening all over the nation.

Licensing is not working.

We need to ban all automobiles.

If we get the automobiles off the streets, there will be no more automobile deaths.

It's basic logic. Even a child can see.

NO CARS. NO DEATHS.

This is not even protected by the Constitution so there is NO EXCUSE.

Let's make it happen.

Logical follow-on to that .... only law enforcement and military need vehicles that exceed moped and golf cart speeds.  Why do you need to drive at 50+ MPH and burn all that fossil fuel?  Drive at 10 MPH, use peddle power, get exercise, and enjoy the 3 hour ride to downtown!!

Woman shot was a black dental hygienist.  The woman supposedly had some history with mental illness. There was something having fallen and sustaining significant head injury.  Truly tragic... Now the world welcomes another parentless child.

Hmmm... I wonder if it's going to become a race issue now?

Back on topic  ;)

Yes, civilians have no need for motorized transport.

They have legs. They can walk.

Only security personnel need to be able to get to the scene of an "incident" quickly.

If they really need some kind of transport vehicle, they can get licensed for pedal-action transport (per the maximum allowable wheel size and gear ratio of their State).

This not only saves lives, it reduces global warming and our dependence on foreign crude supplies.

It also boosts the local economy due to higher consumption of carbohydrates. Thus, it grows jobs on farm and non-farm payrolls.

This is what America is all about isn't it? Jobs!

If you do not stand against automobiles, then you do not stand for America.

And the number of drive-by shootings each year will plummet because the hoods can't outrun law enforcement!
