So Obama will blame the Republicans' sequester for this incident.

Maybe he found out he was going to be pushed into ObamaCare.

No Problem. WJLA says 12 people shot with 8 dead and 4 injured. But a hospital woman at Washington Hospital Center said their hospital had three victims and more were expected. Schools around the area on lock down. Reagan National Airport was on lock down too, but it has been lifted. One victim at the hospital was shot in the head, another in the legs, and third person in shoulder. But they were responsive. Two women and one man. The shooting victims were shot by rapid gunfire. The victims were lucid and able to talk and they say they will make it. Reporter at the scene saw four people airlifted from the building.

More False flags in another gun-free (sic) zones to push their gun control agenda.

I doubt it; few anti-gunners would be willing to trade their lives for their political agenda. Your life or mine, sure, but...

She was a black woman. I think she said she was at the cafeteria that was being shot at. She said she was told by security to shelter in house and she decided, if I can paraphrase, "to hell with that. I'm outa here."

The overwhelming majority of these mass shootings have initial (and incorrect) eyewitness reports of multiple shooters. This is why it is much better to wait for the real story. The initial story is almost always wrong. People, in the midst of a stressful situation often panic, and eyewitness reports are notoriously unreliable. It's not that people are deliberately lying, but that they are so hysterical that they often do not fully process what is going on.

Moreover, the media is pretty horrendous and often gets the initial reports wrong.
