Gunfire Reported In Garage At Rayburn Building

UPDATED: False alarm. Reports are that the sounds people heard were probably an air hammer, not gunfire.

Capitol Police are investigating reports of gunfire in the basement garage of the Rayburn House Office Building. Lawmakers have been advised to stay in their offices and the doors to Senate hearing rooms have been closed. Four ambulances are at the scene.

Updates as they become available.

UPDATE: CNN Coverage.

UPDATE: Hot Air has a running update going.

UPDATE: So does the Real Ugly American.

UPDATE: Ladies and gentlemen! The best one-liner of the day: "There has been no confirmation that when Capital Police said “shots in the garage” Ted Kennedy ran down there with a glass." H/T Suzie.
