BREAKING: Shooting At U.S. Capitol!

Shooting near U.S. Capitol.

We just got word that the DC Police and U.S. Capitol Police have a shooting near the Capitol.

People were caught off guard by this one. Just a moment ago, it was reported by the news agitators that a shooting occurred outside the U.S. Capitol. There is a mandatory lockdown.

President Barack Obama, Mayor Vincent Gray and the Congressional leaders were informed about this one.

This is a developing story. We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to those killed in this tragedy.

Okay, there's been reports of a member of law enforcement injured by a shooting. We have few things that are true. There were injuries. The police are involved. Congress and the White House are informed.

Also anything from this point comes from CNN, Wikipedia, and The Associated Press.

I am getting word this was a result of a police chase that ended up near the U.S. Capitol.

It's alleged a woman tried to run her vehicle into the White House and then the U.S. Capitol.

As a warning was sounded, the House abruptly went into recess and lawmakers left the chamber floor. The Senate also suspended business.

Before the disruption, lawmakers had been trying to find common ground to end a government shutdown. The House had just finished approving legislation aimed at partly lifting the government shutdown by paying National Guard and Reserve members.

People standing outside the Supreme Court across the street from Congress were hurried into the court building by authorities.

The White House was quickly locked down after the incident at Capitol Hill and the stretch of Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the compound was closed to pedestrians. Secret Service said the procedures were precautionary.
