A lockdown of the U.S. Capitol was lifted after gunshots were fired near the White House in Washington, D.C. today.
Shooting erupted following a car chase that began with a car ramming a barricade near the White House on Thursday, USA Today reports.
The female driver led Capitol police on a brief car chase that ended with an exchange of gunfire. One officer was reported injured in a related car accident.
MSNBC and CNN report that the driver was shot after getting out of the vehicle near the Hart Senate Office building.
“There are reports of injuries,” said Terrance Gainer, the Senate’s Sergeant at Arms. CNN quoted Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid as saying there has been “one injury.”
NBC and CNN report that a child in the car was not injured.
The shooting in the nation’s Capitol came 2 weeks after a man went on a shooting rampage at a Washington Navy yard. 13 people were killed including the gunman.
Obama and Congress are deadlocked in day 3 of the government shutdown. 800,000 non-essential government workers are on temporary furlough.

Crazy thing is that I just read that the first responders aren’t even being paid right now.
I bet it was a crazy woman demanding her WIC vouchers for the month
People are getting tired.
So general America doesn’t really know what WIC is?? Or nah?? I keep seeing this. I hope I’m just missing the joke?
<– fake. 
Is the driver dead?
So wait, not every state has WIC? Is it called something else?
I bet they are carrying on as usual right now…
That should have at least lit some type of fire under their ass… I bet it would if she were a man.

The news is saying that the woman was killed.
That poor baby was probably scared for his life.. I wonder if he/she was old enough to understand what happened. I wonder where the father was…
So it was a woman who drive into the barricades? Oh this clearly was all a mistake.
Hey baby did you hear it was an Asian woman who caused a security breach at the whitehouse? OTB said they can’t drive….
No..I think its in every state. Just wasnt sure that ppl would be crashing into the white house behind a food supplement check. Usually ppl who get WIC qualify for foodstamps.
it’s every state
Why did she take the baby along
This is how the fight gonna get started @MrsTee!

Sure are NOT.
Almost $40 for the value sized one at Sam’s, the regular sized one is $25 and the small can is $16.
Now for those who cannot pay for that out of pocket, wtf is their baby supposed to eat? All this over some f’ing healthcare reform? And their greasy azzes go home every NIGHT to a plate of food and a full bank account. They aren’t wanting for anything.
shiiiiiiiiidddd. the foodstamp ebt card funds go sold for 50cent on the dollar at Food 4 Less. thats how they do.. so I’ve heard
You said Otb7 look like da po po

i think what you meant to say was usually ppl that qualify for WIC sell the checks to the store and leave all them gallons of milk right there in the dairy section.
i’ll take the juicy juice and the honey bunches of oats tho
If you get Medicaid you automatically get WIC or certain health conditions. When I first took custody of my then cousin I got it just because she was on Medicaid. I didn’t qualify for foodstamps, lawd knows I had planned all kinds of crab boils in my head. These one chick had some rare disease and she got it but didn’t financially qualify for foodstamps either.
I’m watching CNN and people will pull out a cell phone and record anything I hear gun fire I’m searching for my car and half way down 495
I don’t think anyone was killed. jUst one 5-0 who prob rolled his ankle while running… or was running and ran into a parked car since he was in a related car accident.
And this is just the beginnning of it, I hope they end this shutdown soon. But I read somewhere that one of the Senators was complining about how much he makes a yr and can’t live off it. I think they should do a wife swap with Boomsheka and a congressman wife. They’ll change their minds about a Shutdown then. Hmph.
She look like a snitch?

I really want to know her motives for doing this because unless her milk has dried up she could breastfeed the baby.

Hey Leo!
WIC is for the at risk..or you can qualify thru income. So she qualified but you didnt. If she had been your child from the start she wouldnt have gotten medicaid, ergo no WIC..unless you were at risk, health or aid wise.
The second chick still wouldnt ram the white house gates, IMO because she still has some “money” to buy what WIC was providing, hence not qualifying for food stamps.

But we folk so I pressed it deep down inside my keyboard.

I was going to say all the police officers that are women I know look like they can
OutsidetheBox says:
FIrst for me. I know ppl who give the checks away but selling them back to the store? Fill me in!
____________________
lets say the check is for 50.32 cuz you know its always some random ass amount. the store keeps the milk, you endorse the check & they give you the cash value. they still get to sell the milk and turn the check into the state.
evrybody wins and you dont have to lug all that stupid ass cow snot back to the house!
…..or so ive heard

the baby probably was in the back seat hollering “mommie mommie I’m hungry” and mama said ok honey we going to see President Obama right now we gonna eat good tonight
What checks?
WIC (maybe not in every state though) puts the balances on a card for those that I know with it. Just like the food funds.

I knew this; just never heard it done with WIC. The Feds came thru here
one or two yrs ago so you cant get a store to do that.. unless its the Arabs.

yeah child I know, so I was thankful for the WIC cause even though she was 3 milk and cheese high, didn’t have to deal with the formula. Plus since she was a ward of the state she automatically keeps medicaid until she’s 18. I thought medicaid was just the clinic so I carried her on my BCBS policy until I found out otherwise. Now she has a Medicaid HMO that gives her free rx and $0 copays except for some specialites and then it’s only $2. I’m paying for group coverage and going to the same doctors she goes too. People believe that Medicaid offers substandard care and facilities but that’s not true. All them hospitals be participating in them plans.
So sad that the same stereotypes that the “conservative” whites have about this dead mother are the same shared about her here…wic vouchers…really? From the looks of her car, she didn’t ram her car. Later reports state the cop rammed his car into the barricade trying to get into the chase. The reports were that the woman was unarmed. This is sad. That poor child will be traumatized for a while.
Alluringly Sweet
I have to agree with you on this one. I wanted to say the same damn thing.
