Gunman shot at US Capitol building
03-28-2016, 04:06 PM
More news to follow no doubt - per CNN interviews it was a single person who has visited the Capitol before. Gun was found at metal detector and gunman was shot.
One female wounded - not sure if guest, or guard.
And they've already let us all know that it's not terrorism, just a criminal act.

Sounds like the female injury was shrapnel. The gunman is in surgery.
"U.S. Capitol Police shot a male suspect Monday afternoon after he pulled out a gun at the Capitol Visitor Center, law enforcement officials said.
A female civilian bystander was injured by shrapnel, but no U.S. Capitol Police officers were injured.
"We believe this is an act of a single person who has frequented the Capitol grounds before, and there is no reason to believe this is anything more than a criminal act," said Capitol Police Chief Matthew Verderosa during a brief news conference.
"The suspect was taken into custody and transported tot he hospital for treatment. The suspect is currently undergoing surgery. His condition is unknown at this time. A weapon was recovered on the scene," he said."

Waiting for the suspect's description, name, and background.
They're not exactly quick with that info....

A Christian?
Prepare for a flood of Facebook garbage like "See! Christians are just as dangerous as Muslims!" and other nonsense.
