Shots fired at the Capitol.

The contrast between CNN and Foxnews never ceases to be a source of amusement for me.

CNN: (Left wing)

Quote:

Breaking news:
Police are responding to reports of an active shooter situation on Capitol Hill.

Top Headline:
'THERE'S ONE WAY OUT'
That's my way, Obama tells GOP

Fox News: ( Ring wing )

Quote:

Breaking news:
US CAPITOL ON LOCKDOWN, GUNFIRE REPORTED

Top Headline:
Budget Battle, Partial shutdown raises the question...
Can we do without it?
Hud, Ed. Dept, IRS, Nasa

The republican politican would probably win. More practiced. Ring wing tends to exercise their second amendment rights a lot more then the left.

EDIT 2:
Surely I am not the only one who see's the very distinct difference in choice of words in both the breaking news and top headlines. Wordsmithing galore, that reeks of agenda from both. English and creative writing were always my best subjects in academia, so i tend to notice these things.

Headlines have changed, as have the stories.

BREAKING ...

The U.S. Capitol is in lockdown, after sources say shots were fired outside.

According to U.S. Capitol Police, officers are injured.

Sirens are going off in the Capitol, and people on the Hill are being told to "shelter in place."

Senior congressional staffers and one eyewitness told Fox News the incident began with a car chase, which came to a stop near the Capitol building. Sources said several police cars were in pursuit. When they boxed in the other vehicle, the driver got out and five or six shots were fired, sources said.

Witnesses saw a baby being taken from the car.

Police have locked House members in the chamber. The developments come as lawmakers were debating a series of small spending bills, amid the ongoing partial government shutdown.

The lockdown follows the mass shooting last month at the Washington Navy Yard.

Washington (CNN) - Emergency vehicles swarmed the area of the U.S. Capitol on Thursday after an order given over the speaker system told people to shelter in place because of an active shooting situation.

CNN Chief Congressional Correspondent Dana Bash reported that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said there was one person injured.

There are no SAS forces infiltrating Washington as a prelude to a British invasion, these rumours are preposterous....

Okay everyone move on ... nothing left to see.

One woman in a black car with her child backs into a police car near the white house, police car gives chase toward the capital, shots were fired without knowledge of a child involved in the black car.

Woman injured taken to hospital along with policeman airlifted out.

Everyone move on

fair enough

The police officer was injured when someone put one of the barriers up underneath the cop car and flipped it.

I bet the have the hydraulic ram powered barriers.They sit at ground level but a button gets pressed and it flys upwards it can lift tractor trailers even hell they are designed to stop one going 70 MPH cold fully raised or while deploying.

In Germany a guard at the gate tripped the rapid deploy button by accident a German cab driver had the bad luck that his car was passing over top the barrier well it flipped the car and the guy was hurt badly.Bet that guy got a nice settlement from the US government now he owns the cab company I bet.Wonder what German expletive he used while in flight..... Fahrzeug defekt ist, was zum Teufel bin ich dabei wie Johnny Knoxville?

I wonder if that MP secretly thought "Great Success" when he saw that cab flip.That was before Borat though.
