quote:A gunman entered the headquarters of the conservative group Family Research Council in Washington, D.C., and opened fire on a security guard this morning, police said.
According to a spokesman for the DC Metropolitan Police Department, a suspect is in custody. The security guard was shot in the left arm and is being treated at a local hospital.
The Family Research Council is a conservative Christian group founded by James Dobson that lobbies and supports "traditional family values" according to its website.
DC Metropolitan Police are investigating the shooting along with FBI agents from the FBI's the National Capitol Response Squad.
Guards wrestled the gunman to the ground after the shooting in the lobby of the FRC HQ. The suspect was not shot.
The Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is on scene also helping with the investigation to trace information about the firearm which investigators recovered from the scene.
Additional details are unclear in terms of motive or suspect's identity. ABC News affiliate WJLA reported that the suspect was taken from the building in handcuffs by police.
"The police are investigating this incident. Our first concern is with our colleague who was shot today. Our concern is for him and his family," said Family Research Council President Tony Perkins.
A dead intruder cannot testify against you in a court of law!
If they're still moving, put another round in them!
Within the hour two guys - one reported to be wearing a 'tactical vest' - shot some sort of county employee in the parking lot of their county's tax office.
The shooters fled the area and a vehicle description is being broadcast.
Schools are on lockdown, etc.
Thanks Floyd.

Not saying it's for sure involved, but I'm aware they have a serious problem with drugs down that way - meth in particular.
EDIT: Just confirmed by spokesperson the victim was an Asst. DA and that he has died.
A sharp guy and very good at what he did. You can bet he'd pissed off a lot of serious outlaws.
Come to find out I knew that Asst. DA. He used to be a key assistant in the Dallas DA's office and handled all of their organized crime cases.

Mexican Mafia...my bet
Victim was a prosecutor.
Was he? A "victim" that is.
