Man Crashes Gate of Capitol, Shoots Gun, Shoots Own Brains Out

Serious country.

Everything completely normal.

CNN:

A man shot and killed himself after driving into a vehicle barricade near the US Capitol Building early Sunday morning, US Capitol Police said.

The incident happened shortly after 4 a.m. ET, when the man drove his car into a barricade at East Capitol Street and Second Street. He then exited his car, which became “engulfed in flames,” and fired several shots into the air, Capitol Police said in a statement.

He then fatally shot himself when authorities approached him. There were no additional injuries.

USCP later Sunday identified the individual as a 29-year-old man from Delaware. CNN is not naming the man at this time.

“At this time, it does not appear the man was targeting any Members of Congress, who are on recess, and it does not appear officers fired their weapons,” the USCP statement earlier Sunday read. “Our investigators are looking into the man’s background.”

DC’s Metropolitan Police Department is handling the death investigation, the statement said.

US Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger said during a news conference Sunday afternoon that the man had a criminal history from “over the past 10 years or so,” but that there was no information to indicate motive and “no political ideology that we’re aware of at this point.”

Capitol Police are looking through security videos of the incident for more information on any possible intentions, the chief said.

Maybe he did it for teh lulz? That would be very normal and completely in line with the rules-based order.

The main thing to remember about America is that it is a really normal country, and highly moral. That’s why America can enforce its will on the entire world.

It knows right from wrong, in the most absolute metaphysical sense.

It’s a very normal country.

This is one of the single most normal news stories I’ve seen in years.
