Capitol Police Probing Reports of Gunfire

WASHINGTON — Police sealed off the Capitol on Friday as they investigated reports that shots were fired in the garage of a House office building. Four ambulances were summoned.

Capitol police were investigating "the sound of gunfire in the garage level of the Rayburn House Office Building," said an announcement on the internal Capitol voice alarm system.

There was no confirmation of gunfire.

The Senate was in session at the time, but the House was not.

Rep. Peter Hoekstra, R-Mich., conducting a House Intelligence Committee hearing, interrupted a witness to request those attending the meeting to remain in the room and said the doors must be closed.

"It's a little unsettling to get a Blackberry message put in front of you that says there's gunfire in the building," he said.

Shortly after police sealed off the Capitol, four ambulances arrived at the garage entrance to the Rayburn building and police expanded the area being sealed off.

But after 5000 police and four ambulances were dispatched to save our brave representatives, it turned out to just be construction noise.

Meanwhile, down at the border, tens of thousands of illegals invade and intimidate the citizens there with no response whatever from the government.
