Gunshots reported a US Capitol Visitor Center

Gunshots were reported in the U.S. Capitol Visitors Center on Monday, U.S. Senate sources said. Workers in the Capitol were told to "shelter in place." A Capitol Police spokeswoman had no immediate comment but said the office would be issuing a statement soon.

Breaking....no other information at this time....

Seems that there is a lockdown and workers are being told to 'shelter in place'.

Hopefully it is nothing.

Hope everyone's ok, has the situation stopped it seems like this is speaking in the past tense, as if it's over now..

I pray that there have been no fatalities

To early to speculate what has happened.

Last report i saw on BBC says that the shooter has been arrested.

One officer reported shot.

Yup this smells like false flag event to boost Trumps vote as he will jump on this and use it to manipulate the American people into voting for him.... or, you know, it was just some nut with a gun, but on ATS we need to start the conspiracy wagon running soon as we can!

Several, actually. I imagine there was some shooting way back in way back in 1814 when the Brits set it on fire.

George W. Bush has to love Trump, if for no other reason than he doesn't have to shoulder the blame for everything that has happened since Obama became POTUS.

How many of these events occur during a training event? It's getting ridiculous.

OK, will it be....

a) A Trump supporting racist from Alabama
b) A BLM supporting racist from St Louis
c) Hassan Zawahari formerly known as Steve Johnson from Oregon


C'mon, place your bets...

Yes, I saw Fox report that and thought "Uh-oh.."

But now Times Square in NY has reported a suspicious package.

I wonder if this is going to be a 'terrorist' attack (while Congress was in recess and completely out of harm's way).

Because that would make a lot of sense.
