Shooter in custody. One officer slightly injured (his pride).

They check folks going in for weapons. What is this?

And Jim Webb isn't in the Senate anymore. Weird indeed...

It would be interesting to see some of you immature commenters react to gunshots in your general location.

Either ROP or one of Obama's sons otherwise they'd already have the name of the perp.

As an aside, the Capitol Bldg. has the upper scaffolding removed from the dome.

Find comfort in the fact that legislation is being drafted at this very moment to confiscate more privately-owned firearms in response to this national tragedy.

I don’t see a problem with “Run for cover, use your sidearm to get to your rifle”.

Neither do I, but be sure to have your battle buddy!

Just a guess but maybe the checking for weapons is done at the visitors center before visitors enter the Capitol itself....and Shazam they found one.

Well, it's getting good now. Katherine Herridge on FOX just said that the guard was hit by shrapnel, not sure if it's bullet shrapnel or regular shrapnel.

Shep is PEEING his pants because somebody said that it sounded like somebody emptied the clip on his pistol.

They're on a roll again.

Shelter in place, i.e., wait where you are; the shooter will be along shortly to kill you.
Americans don’t shelter in place; they attack their assailant whether armed or not.

WHO KNEW that C96 "Red 9s" would make such a dramatic comeback as the "weapon of choice for criminals and terrorist!"

Obviously, “gun control” is not nearly as effective as the most draconian laws in America could possibly make it.

At least one managed to evade detection.

Why? Is the detection protocol simply not that thorough, or did somebody avert eyes for just a few minutes?

You know this is an anti-government type and we’re going to be deluged with anti-gun for weeks.
