Shots Fired Near White House

[MA_Shooter]

Shots were reported fired Friday night between the White House and the Washington Monument, setting off a flurry of law enforcement activity, a U.S. Park Police spokesman said.

The incident was reported shortly after 9 p.m., according to Sgt. David Schlosser, spokesman for the Park Police. Responding officers found an abandoned vehicle in the vicinity of the reported incident and were searching it "trying to figure out what happened."

Schlosser noted that "no evidence" has been recovered to indicate shots were actually fired.

"I think, obviously, the thing that makes it of interest is simply the location, you know, a bit like real estate," Schlosser told reporters. "The fact that this occurred outside the White House area. At this point, we don't think that there's any link to the White House."

A Secret Service official who asked not to be identified reported that gunshots rang out as two cars sped on the National Mall. Agents stationed on 16th Street heard the shots, then saw the cars heading west on Constitution Avenue, the official said.

Couldn't have happened, not possible with their strict gun laws.

It was probably Feinstein or Mrs. Brady.

So which is it? Someone is once again lying their ass off in DC.

With all the police agencies there they can't determine whether it happened or not?

I'm guessing it was a dispute amongst the "service industry" in DC (hookers and coke for politicians and lobbyists).

How is this news?

It's Washington D.C., for Pete's sake - crime capital of the country.

 

[namedpipes]

Of ALL places, there are no gunshot triangulation mikes in DC?

Wait a sec. No need. It's a de facto gun free zone. Must have been a car backfiring.

Nope.

That is OBVIOUSLY an AK-8278.

Or maybe an AR-78.

Definitely NOT an HK-8278, though.

Trying to pull a "Vince Foster" on someone?

[el duderino]

DC as a whole is a black neighborhood, obamas probably the only white guy who actually lives there.

 

[xtry51]

So who's doing the response time/manpower testing?

Umpossibe!!!!

An AK-47 was recovered at the scene[

Another great post by one of them on the blaze site:

Proof positive that MORE gun control laws are necesary. It needs to be made a crime to use banned weapons in DC. And if THAT doesn’t work more laws restricting the ability to illegally use banned weapons will be needed. Sooner or later the criminals will get the message that we mean business and that crime is not allowed.

The interesting thing would be to see how many people can read that and not see anything wrong in it.

Oh, I'm in tears right now
