Apparently the shooter is in custody and the Capitol is locked down. According to the live stream at ABC7, WJLA <\/a> sent to us by Chief Tango. PintoNag sends this link<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The United States Capitol was placed on lockdown Thursday afternoon after shots were fired in the vicinity of the chamber. At least one Capitol Police officer was injured, officials said<\/p>\n

The FBI was responding to the scene, and a helicopter landed in front of the Capitol. A message from the Capitol Police ordered anyone in a House office to “shelter in place.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong> ABC is reporting that a FEMALE<\/strong> shooter was killed. <\/p>\n

Fox says the Capitol is no longer locked down. Might have been the conclusion of a car chase from outside the Capitol. <\/p>\n

Something about trying to ram the White House gates before the chase began. Had a child in the car?<\/p>\n

Law enforcement says that she didn’t try to ram the gate, that the woman is in custody (not killed), eye witnesses say she didn’t fire any shots, other says that she did. The car had non-DC plates on it. What a cluster.<\/p>\n

Suspect was shot, but capitol police chief doesn’t know if she was armed or not yet. Injured officer wasn’t shot. It sounds to me that she tried to ram a gate behind the Treasury Building (quite a way from the White House – you can’t even see the White House from there) and then turned around and headed south towards the Capitol on Constitution Ave followed by the police. <\/p>\n

I have to think that it was just a frustrated driver in DC.<\/p>\n
