    Shots fired on Capitol Hill, somehow Feinstein will find a way to blame the government shutdown on an AR-15.

    This everyday crime will be out of the news cycle by tomorrow. They only have room for crazy whiteboys with AR's. Everyday handgun crime in a city with the strictest gun laws doesn't play well with the liberal mindset.

    Here is another link with some seemingly up-to-the-minute updates.

    It seems like it started at or near the White House with a car trying to ram a barricade which then turned into a car chase to Capitol Hill. Source states that a female suspect is reported dead at the scene. An eyewitness says a baby was taken from the car.

    So here's what we know so far...

    Shots fired around D.C. today...


    1) Not a male.

    2) She was unarmed.

    3) She wasn't angry over ObamaCare.

    4) Only shots fired were from police.

    5) There weren't multiple shooters.

    6) No tactical assault AR-15 Shotgun Rifle, with the shoulder thing that goes up, present.

    7) I made up #6.

    8) She may have had a psychotic episode after a small fender bender with a barrier near a White House entrance.

    9) Give it 48 hours before you can start believing anything.

    10) Keep an eye out for Facebook pages made about this even 3 days ago.

    If she wasn't armed - and the vehicle was boxed in/disabled...I wonder how the (wannabe military) Capitol Police will justify deadly force -- especially with a child in the mix. We won't see any mainstream media complaining about excessive force -- doesn't fit into their agenda.

    I still think it was suicide by cop -- and they provided the response (and end result) willingly/readily.
