    Capitol Hill Shooting

    Well another shooting happened, couple police injured, and the suspect dead.

    Couple links to the shooting:

    First thought was, why the hell would you run from the cops? Seems like she had the intentions to do something. I understand people would be frustrated/scared if someone had guns aimed at them, but running like that? I feel like she was up to no good. What do you guys think?

    A disgruntled american wanted to take action against those she perceived responsible for the country's current situation is all I see. Not going to support her but crap like this should make people angry and shouldn't be allowed to happen. I think this loophole has to be closed down somehow no matter what even if it takes an amendment or the SCOTUS to make a decision.

    So she got out of the car and they just shot her?
    Doesn't say she had a weapon it does say she had her baby in the car though so that sucks.

    "Several police cars pursued her to a location near the Capitol building. When they boxed her in, sources said, the driver got out and five or six shots were fired.

    Officers confirmed that a 1-year-old baby was taken from the car and is now in good condition. "

    i dont think someone who is merely disgruntled would include endangering their young child in their plan.

    When they are messing around with the White House and Capitol Building? Most definitely.

    Firstly, the only people shooting were the cops (the women was unarmed).
    Secondly, those are some extremely incompetent cops. If you can't stop an unarmed person that's coming out of their car without a gun, you shouldn't be allowed to do any security related job, be it police, guard, military, etc. If they shot her while she was driving the car, sure, but when she's coming out ? It's like shooting a gunman after he drops his weapon, it makes no sense.

    Are you serious?

    You don't shoot people who are running away.

    If it's an innocent, you just shot a person trying to save themselves.
    If it's a vandal, you just shot a vandal over something stupid.
    If it's a terrorist, you just risked losing your only information source. In this case, it would have been lost.

    In fairness it was close to the White House and Capitol Building. This isn't just a random shooting(No not a conspiricy theory).

    It seems the police were the only ones doing the shooting so how can you call this a shooting?

    At least the child is too young to remember the horror of seeing his mother riddled with bullets by heavily armed law enforcement officials.

    and what if she was running away only to detonate a bomb 30 seconds later via remote control........this is capitol hill we are talking about.

    Someone fleeing from security in a high security area constitutes a thread. Period. This is universal for pretty much every high security area in the world.

    OP, did you read the links? The only people shooting were the cops, and the people injured were cops she ran into with her car.

    Next time sound a little less biased, and a little more informed.

    I'm sure the "fact" will come out that she, "appeared to be reaching for something"

    the one that allows less than 1/2 of 1/3 of government to harm the world economy hostage along with shutting down a lot of government activities.

    OT: Its unfortunate that the woman had to die despite not having done anything other than seeming suspicious.
