Cops Shoot Gunman on Capitol Hill
The AP reports:
Officers in Washington shot and wounded a man who pointed a handgun at them early Friday blocks away from the U.S. Capitol.
Officers were told around 5 a.m. to be on the lookout for a man with a gun, U.S. Capitol Police spokeswoman Sgt. Kimberly Schneider said.
Officers then saw the man, who pointed the gun at them at 2nd and C streets in southwest Washington near the Capitol, the U.S. Botanic Garden and the National Museum of the American Indian. Officers opened fire after the man refused to drop his weapon because they were in "fear for their lives," Schneider said.
