How can that be? D.C. is a "gun-free zone"!
Not making light of the situation, but pointing out the blaring truth.

Irritates the hell out of me that every other news story of the day is ignored so that they can reiterate what amounts to the same five minute segment. They used to do the story ang give updates in between segments of the rest of the news.

Been waiting and waiting for ammo prices to fall. Just ordered a box since Odrama will definitely use this to try to push more gun legislation. Prices should skyrocket again - order now.

I wonder if any of the shooters screamed 'Allah Akbar'? Nah, probably just another instance of workplace violence.

Not exactly mutually exclusive according to recent definitions.

The speculation is that the hunt for multiple shooters indicates it's not workplace violence, but an "attack". Of course, we don't know yet, but the MSM is already making up stuff.

"Shooter" described as dark skinned.
My wife's uncle works in that building, her aunt told her that he has been in touch with police and her and he is hunkered down in place waiting for the scene to be cleared.

More wild speculation that there are "shots fired" at Bolling Air Force Base. WTF?

And thus, the fog of war - in this case, the conflicting information, false reports, and chaos that is an event like this generates.
My thoughts and prayers to all who have family and friends that work there. I worked across the street from there a few years ago, and still have many friends that work there.
Building 197, WNY is a BIG building. I've eaten from the cafeteria where the shooter was laying down fire, and I've looked up on the walkway may a time.
Lifted from Fox News:
People who were inside the building said the gunman — described as a tall, African-American male — wordlessly sprayed fire from an AR-15 assault rifle.
An early Christmas present for the anti-gunners. Oh well - looks like its time to buy more ammo before .223 gets to $1.15/rd again and PMAGs are $70/ea.
