PlayStation Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 WASHINGTON - The U.S. Capitol was in lockdown on Thursday after gunshots were fired outside the building, injuring several people including a law enforcement officer, a Senate aide and a Capitol police officer said. The U.S. House of Representatives and Senate were in session when the gunshots were heard. The U.S. government was partially shut down this week when lawmakers failed to agree on a budget. Police called in a Medevac helicopter, a Senate aide and a U.S. Capitol policeman said. The Senate chamber was locked with staff inside. Senate leaders were locked in their offices. The shots were fired near the Hart Senate Office Building at 2nd St and Constitution Avenue Northeast, only a few blocks from the U.S. Supreme Court.

Aladeen Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 How most Americans aren't disgruntled with their corporate overlo...errr I mean government, is beyond me. Apparently they've done a bang up job pacifying the masses with big screen TV's and Big Macs. 100 years ago there would have already been a revolution/civil war IMO.

aGENT Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 So the definition of domestic terrorism is violence towards politicians? What would it be called if it was shooting at random people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Common sense Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 It's not terrorism. http://www.bbc.co.uk...014#TWEET909687 A police chase in Washington DC ended in gunfire, sparking panic at the White House and US Capitol and leaving a police officer injured in a road crash. The chase, gunfire and wreck were "isolated", and not an act of terror, a senior police official said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
