WASHINGTON (AP) -- Police say the U.S. Capitol is on lockdown as a precaution after shots were fired in what appears to be an attempted suicide.

Capitol Police spokeswoman Kimberly Schneider says the suspected shooter was "neutralized" after a self-inflicted gunshot wound. It's unclear whether the man is dead. No one else is believed to be hurt.

More workplace violence, of course.

It was a left winger that killed himself..he was holding up a sign saying “TAX THE 1 PERCENT” so good riddance

[Secret Agent Man]

He either wanted someone to stop him, or death by cop.

Real suiciders take themselves out alone.

Today a former Hillary Clinton senior aide shot herself in the back of the head six times in an apparent suicide. The suspect was seen running toward capitol police, seemingly trying to give them a package of file folders and computer discs, which somehow in the confusion of the moment have disappeared.

No further updates are (or ever will be) available. Now, back to our unbiased discussion on Hillary's big announcement tomorrow and the positive impact on the world's civilization her presidency will surely have.

Perhaps Harry Reid’s lying became too much for him to bear.

People in DC need some range time.

The politicians are on “Spring Break”, says the article. We all know what happens on Spring Break . . .

“TAX THE 1 PERCENT”

We already do. The 47% that don't pay taxes are the problem because they are voting with somebody else's wallet.

Did he have jug-ears and purple lips?

Too bad it's not a permanent vacation.
