My thoughts are on our friend JiminMD upon learning that Capitol Police stopped an active shooter who has wounded at least one congressman, two policemen and a couple of aides. Thoughts and prayers. They were earning their pay this morning.

I figured as much, but it is good to have it confirmed.

I contacted Jim this morning and he was on duty on the Hill and not at the scene.

Just in case anyone here has pulled a Rip Van Winkle, the world's gone batshit crazy over the last few years, and the U.S. is certainly no exception. As zeke said in another thread, Can't believe I can type "run of the mill" while describing a shooting that takes 4 lives. I don't know how much more of this I can take. |

Thanks for remembering me and my colleagues. I can't say much that hasn't already been reported in the media. I can say that our two injured officers should both be fine. I know both of them having worked with Dave and having supervised Crystal. They're good people and good cops.

I'm afraid that this is what the culture in this country has degenerated to. While there are multiple causes, the confrontational attitude by many (my way or the highway), a lack of tolerance that is becoming more acceptable and the norm on all sides of the politic spectrum, the availability of guns and the frustration with life on all levels have all contributed to it.

Thank you but I deserve no credit. Crystal is quiet but friendly. She smiles easily and has a naturally professional bearing. She's an amazing athlete who takes great pride in her health and conditioning. I'm told she was hit very early in the fight but stayed with it. I would expect no less from her.

Ok, edit function appears to be slow. Saw that comment from the thread it was in now.
