Shots heard near White House; appears unrelated to Obama
The Hill ^ | 11/12/11 | Josh Lederman

Police are investigating gunshots heard near the White House on Friday night, according to multiple reports, but the incident appears unrelated to President Obama, who was not in Washington at the time.

An AK-47 assault rifle was recovered from a car near the Roosevelt Bridge shortly after police started pursuing two vehicles fleeing from a section of Constitution Avenue near 16th street, where the shots were heard.

Witnesses saw the driver of the vehicle where the gun was found run across the bridge toward Virginia, according to the AP.

U.S. Park Police Sgt. David Schlosser said authorities were searching for evidence that shots had been fired, and that the White House did not appear to have been connected to the incident, NBC Washington reported.

Metropolitan Police said the Secret Service is taking the lead on the investigation. A Secret Service spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for additional information.

Guns in DC? What’s wrong - can’t they read the “No Guns” signs?

I felt like shooting my TV last night when Dumb0 was on before the basketball game. But I’ve already gone through 4 TVs since January ‘09.

If you count Honolulu as overseas. We’re blessed with his presence through Tuesday. We’ve had presidents of China, Vietnam, Korea, Australia, and assorted heads of state and bureaucrats and more including Hillary in town all week and “the one” flew in late last night. Traffic has been a total cluster* and is only going to get worse as they plan on closing the entire freeway down from Waikiki to the west side of the island for parts of the day tomorrow.

Washington D.C. is a "NO GUN ZONE" for crying out loud!

It must have been a backfiring vehicle.

"Witnesses saw the driver of the vehicle where the gun was found run across the bridge toward Virginia..."

Probably just Eric Holder letting off a little steam after a rough week of lying.

Do you mean the prezidoodle could be the victim of a drive by shooting in a no-gun city? Maybe he should arm himself for protection. It’s not like he hasn’t broken any laws before, is it?

Yes, the AK was a F&F model most likely. We need more gun control.

I think she might be the D.C. Chief of Police.
