4 shots were fired outside the U.S. Capitol at about 2: 15 today; Wonkette Editrix Rebecca Schoenkopf was about a block away when she heard "four sharp bursts of gunfire," followed by a "loud boom." Twitter messages indicate that the Capitol is in lockdown and that a suspect may be in custody; Rebecca says that she overheard a plainclothes capitol police officer telling a uniformed officer that "an officer is down" on 15th Street.

I saw the video of the 6-7 officers, guns drawn and pointed, surrounding the car. It backs up and takes off and THEN they remember they have guns and start firing. Didn't anyone think of shooting the engine block or were they armed with those 'wunder 9s' that wouldn't penetrate?
I'm going to go way out on a limb here, and speculate (irresponsibly) that this crazy bitch was not an Obama voter in the previous election cycle. Oh, and that she's a sore loser.
And now I hear all the DC police are working for back pay now. Possibly the FD and EMS as well?
I have seen the current Wonkmobile, it is a Prius.
All of this barely-information confirms my previous biases! Further updates as rumor and speculation come in.
"Twitter is reporting..."
Mmmmhmmm.
I didn't even know Ben Ghazi was the ghey...

"Hey, let's politicize this!" said no one helpful.
CBS News showed a picture, claimed to be of the kid from the car. Kid looked to be 2 or 3, and blah.
If that was the same video that I saw, the fusillade did not stop the car. The driver appears to have been shot off camera.
I am getting weary of their tacky, tiresome rhetoric. Grownups are supposed to know there are situations when you shut up.
Excellent point. Our minimum age to be elected only applies to chronological age.
that coward deleted his tweet

Nah, it gave up being real a long time ago. Now it's just a very sad fantasy.
these clowns never seem to grasp that basic fact
this is what happens when you whip the crazy into a whirlwind 24/7
