that was crazy too. Is there any more info on why he was driving the wrong way & all?

Like I said, haven't turned on the news...guess I should.

In Detroit, a tanker flipped, the flames were a half-mile wide AT LEAST..probably toxic smoke, an overpass collapsed. Just a highway nightmare, and last I heard, they didn't even know if anyone was alive inside the flame area...there was no way to get to them. Very tragic.

DYK of course that will lead Mike to conclude the house is now hotter & he needs to turn the A/C lower to compensate ;-)

WASHINGTON - Police still have not publicly identified the gunman they shot and killed near the U.S. Capitol Wednesday.

The D.C. Police Department is now in charge of the investigation.

Investigators know the identity of the gunman but neither the city police nor the U.S. Capitol Police has released it.

Police say the man fled and traffic stop in front of Union Station and nearly ran over two officers.

U.S. Capitol Police spokeswoman Sgt. Kim Schneider said the man refused to stop at a checkpoint about two blocks north of the Capitol complex. The man drove the wrong way down a street and struck two officers with his car - one on foot and the other on a motorcycle, Schneider said. The two officers received minor injuries.

The man drove the wrong way down a street and struck two officers with his car - one on foot and the other on a motorcycle, Schneider said. The two officers received minor injuries.

Police say the suspect crashed his white Mercedes with temporary Virginia tags and refused to put down his gun at New Jersey Avenue and C Streets in Northwest.

Police say it's not clear how many shots the man got off before at least two officers returned fire, killing the suspect.

Schneider described the melee as "very fast moving, very fluid."

"The officers felt they were being threatened - they were in fear for their lives," Schneider said.

So far police have not said what led them to try to stop the man's car in the first place.

The late afternoon shooting happened a few blocks from where the third day of hearings for Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor was wrapping up. Police briefly sealed off part of the Capitol as a precaution, but the complex was reopened shortly afterward.

I can't believe how quickly they've gotten around the house. They didn't get here until well after 8am.
