XXL Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-35911754 Gunshots have been reported at the visitor centre at the US Capitol in Washington and workers have been told to take shelter. The Capitol's Sergeant-At-Arms said the gunman has been caught and one police officer was wounded. The Capitol building is on lockdown due to the security threat, according to an email sent to congressional staffers. People outside have been told to seek cover. No one is currently allowed in or out of any buildings in the Capitol complex. Capitol Police are expected to issue a statement soon. US Congress is on recess for the Easter holiday, but some members of Congress and staff members were on site. To enter the US Capitol or any Senate or House office buildings, visitors must go through a metal detector and weapons are not permitted.

nick00 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 US is so politically polarized and tense in a very depressing way. Always afraid someone would try to assassinate Obama which would fuck up the climate of the country more. Thank god nobody was killed in this incident though.
