    Might be nothing but gunfire has apparently been heard in a garage next to the Capitol building in Washington DC.
    WASHINGTON -- Police sealed off the Capitol today receiving reports of gunfire in a House office building across the street.

    Capitol police are investigating "the sound of gunfire in the garage level of the Rayburn House Office Building," said an announcement on the internal Capitol voice alarm system.

    The Senate was in session at the time, but the House was not.

    Rep. Peter Hoekstra, R-Mich., conducting a House Intelligence Committee hearing, interrupted a witness to request those attending the meeting to remain in the room and said the doors must be closed.

    "It's a little unsettling to get a Blackberry message put in front of you that says there's gunfire in the building," he said

    Mike.
