Security Scare at the Rayburn Building

Capitol Hill police responded to a call Friday morning that shots were heard in the building. At this time, it is still under lockdown while the entire building is searched.

One of Rep Jack Kingston's staffers was taken to the hospital after she had a panic attack. No other injuries were reported.

CNN has more and Rep Jack Kingston is live blogging the events! The wonders of the internets...

Here's one of Kingston's entries:

UPDATE (12:05 PM): We hearing from Fox News that Capitol Police have found a man with a gun. The spokeswoman for the Capitol Police denied this.

FOX - always there with the 'truth'.

Update: The next Capitol Hill Police News conference will be held at 2:45pm ET according to CNN.

Update: CNN is reporting that the source of the noise, possibly mistaken for gunshots, may have been a 'pneumatic air hammer' being used by an elevator mechanic.

Update: It's a bit disturbing that Capitol Hill Police would e-mail a code word to those in the Rayburn building, which could ultimately be hacked. Hmm...

Update: CNN has announced that the 2:45pm ET press conference has been canceled. The police are still searching the building.

Update: The 'all clear' was sounded at 3:15pm ET. Bush might want to file that 'using a pneumatic hammer' thing as a handy diversion tactic when he wants to distract America from the news that Rove has been indicted.
