My wife says her fDA campus on New Hampshire in Silver Spring is in lockdown.

I cant find any news on it - whats up?

also heard same thing but can't find any news

Someone thought they said ISIS when they were announced they were having an investigation on Italian ices and gelato.

heard the same from my wife. she has told me that there was a suspicious person with a gun in the parking lot.

Nothing on the police scanners or twitter yet.

Heard the same thing from my sister. Told to lock themselves in their office and stay away from the windows.

The whole campus is on lockdown, but one of the buildings is on complete lock down. some sort of enforcement agency going room to room.

My husband sent me a screenshot of the email but it was too small to read. That was at 11:31am - but I haven't heard anything since. Anyone hear anything recently? Thanks!

I've heard two rumors from campus: one is that there was a gunman on campus in a parking lot and another that someone reported seeing a shotgun in the back of someone's car. Other than that, no events, apparently everyone safe.

Has anyone heard which bulding it was?

My husband just said that they are told to stay low and make no noise...

Are people hearing it's over? My husband is texting me right now saying they have gotten no news, but are repeatedly getting the message to stay low.

My wife works there. I called her and she said there are police outside maybe searching but currently no updates

My husband told me the same thing, all is quiet, everybody locked in their offices.

Still on lockdown, from what I've heard from my husband. The Federal Protective Service is going building-to-building to evaluate.

Any news? what is going on?

Life safety building has an active shooter according to police scanners.

Latest word from inside is that Building 75 is in complete lockdown.

See more here: http://www.newspebbles.com/pebble/fda-silver-spring-campus-is-in-lockdown/

I heard the same from my wife. Someone got past security. Possible gunman on campus. She was told to lock herself in her office. Said she can hear helicopters circling overhead.

Building 224 - no active shooting

My husband just said that they've sounded the "all clear." Hopefully this is over.

Person is in custody - no active shooter but a gun in car.

For all?

OH fuck turn on Channel 5!

No injuries

They have the FSU shooting on the news.

A local contractor heard the FDA campus was a good place to get rid of some bodies.

You want guns, that's fine: obviously the rest of society isn't going to be able convince you as to how stupid/dangerous that is. But can you at least respect that wishes of property owners who don't want you to bring them on? We'll respect your property, and you ours; is that fair?

@KPW you're either an idiot kid or a real pleasant person. Either way, grow up. This is a serious situation that concerned people that have people they know working there.

And of course, there you go with the gun talks. If you were able to carry, active gun shooters would be able to take them out immediately. People kills people, guns are just a tool they use. Guess we should ban kitchen knives too.

Correction: citizens would be able to take out the active shooter.

@ProtectiveMom yeah because that's exactly what we want is gunfire spraying everywhere from multiple directions. No one gets hurt that way, right? I don't expect you to understand so this is the last and only thing I'll post.

He wasn't an active shooter. Obviously if he was, he wouldn't have left his gun in the car. Just a dumbass guntard who who's trying to be defiant against those damned libs who tell him he can't bring his gun to work. In fact he probably brought it because he was thinking just like you: that he'll be a hero and take out any shooter coming through the building. Ironic, that.

Wow, a know it all and a mind reader. Are you some sort of super hero?

All clear. MoCo Police out. FPS still on scene.

I am not working on campus today but still receive all of our emails. I received the original email that just said stay in your offices or whatever office you are in at the moment. No roaming halls and to take this seriously. There was nothing in our office's email that said stay away from windows, privacy because the buildings are basically all windows. I have also received several messages sassing we will receive an FDA message soon, but haven't received that yet. There was an all clear and the people in the 1st floor of building 22 said it was all quiet the entire time.

We'll never know for sure, because of course the stupid redneck will deny it. "Hyuk, hyuk, gosh dang it. I told Bobby June to take mah gun out last night. I'll have to learn her when I git home."

But we all know that hero fantasy was running through his mind.

This didn't take long to totally dissolve into a gun control issue.

Actually, all we know is that you don't know shit and are simply full of conjecture and fantasy. Of course, you were secretly hoping there had been an active shooter and people died so you could spout your anti Second Amendment bullshit. Why do gun grabbers jizz their pants every time there is a school or workplace shooting?

Of course they are a redneck? What a great way to promote stereotypes. Rednecks are not the only persons that own guns.

It isn't NRA bullshit, it's called the Second Amendment. If you don't like it, repeal it. Until then, live with it. FWIW, I don't even own a firearm, but I know how to read and I understand the meaning of the Second Amendment.

Now go check with Brady, MAIG, or VPC to see how you are supposed to respond, parrot boy.

I know, you never hear about African Americans shooting people!

Fun Fact - Ft Hood Shooter Major Nidal Malik Hasan lived in an apartment complex within 1/2 mile of FDA campus before going to Texas.

Little bit 'o projection there on your part. We all know the only people who benefit from shooting sprees are firearm and ammo manufacturers and sellers, and guntards. Nothing gets them more excited than a good spree to scare dumbasses into buying more guns and bullets

Yeah, they're always the first ones to the camera. It isn't projection, it's reality. You can almost hear the disappointment in you about there not being an active shooter.

Riddle me this. How many minutes would you have let pass after hearing there had been a shooting before you'd post some anti Second Amendment garbage here? My guess is we are talking seconds.

Very very very true @How.

You're probably right. But unlike the gun manufacturers, lobbyists, etc., I make exactly zero dollars in the process of the whole thing.

Second Amendment was a tradeoff in the delicate dealing to get the Constitution ratified. Southern states were worried that Northern states would try to end slavery by disarming their state militias. Those were all the whites had to protect and defend themselves against the real possibility of murderous slave uprisings. The Amendment had only to do with bearing arms (a military action in the parlance of the day), and nothing to do with carrying weapons (a civilian action in the parlance of the day). You of course did not know any of that because the flipping NRA never explained it to you properly. They just fed you their bullshit version of history.

Bloomberg has more than a few lobbyists on retainer to advocate his position. See if you can get a job.

There were no gun-related incidents in Japan today nor rumors of any. We have 30,000 gun-related deaths per year. Japan doesn't get close to 30.

And what did SCOTUS say about the Second Amendment? Is it an individual right? Now go see what Brady, MAIG, and VPC have to say about that.

What does Japan's Constitution say about firearm ownership? Again, if you don't like guns, repeal the Second Amendment.

That there is an individual right to possess a firearm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. Everything else is fair game for limitation.

Everything else? You may want to re-read the decisions on these matters, champ.

It never limited it to self defense at home. It says self defense. Your home may not be the only place where you need to protect yourself.

I don't imagine they're hiring. The on the anti-gun side of the issue, the cash isn't nearly as free flowing as it is with the pro-gun side

I grew up around guns all of my life. My grandparents lived in Mintgomery County and always taught me the importance of gun safety. It was years before I shot a firearm. I was taught where the safeties were, why I would need use to a gun, what to do if I saw one on the street, etc. it wasn't until I was mentally, physically and emotionally ready that I shot a firearm. It's a great feeling to know that I can protect myself and my family against an intruder.

Believe it or not, guns save people too. My grandmother who lives in Texas was being followed by a group of young men around the store and followed her out to her car. She flashed her revolver and you bet they walked off. She didn't shoot anyone.

For those that believe people who own guns are stupid, rednecks, extreme republicans; please keep your opinions to yourself. Gun owners aren't spouting hate out of their mouths, so why are you? I would also recommend taking a gun safety course at your local shooting range. You will learn a lot. A lot more than lobbyists and politics and media will teach you.

You'd be surprised. MAIG dished out $1.7M last year to outside lobbyists.

No need to. I know what the rulings said and what they meant. You don't have a clue. You think Heller and McDonald were victories. They were setbacks that open the doors to painting guns into the corner. But keep renewing your NRA membership and all.

Update from the DHS National Operations Center: NO ACTIVE SHOOTER.

Mobile Patrol at the FDA facility in Silver Spring spotted a rifle inside an unoccupied car in the parking lot. A registration check revealed it belonged to an employee. The employee was not immediately located so the facility was placed on lock-down. The employee was later located and questioned by police. The rifle in question turned out to be a BB gun. The employee was released.

Yep, pro-gun is where the money's at.

Statistically, that is the worst thing you can do. Confronted with the presence of an armed intruder, your safest actions are first to leave if you can, and second to hide. All playing Jane Wayne will get you is lying in a pool of blood on the living room carpet.

30,000 per year die from gunshot wounds. Another 150,000 are injured seriously enough to require a visit to an ER. Because of the damage done by bullets tumbling around inside a person's body, gunshot wounds are among the most expensive injuries to treat. Want to reduce health care costs? Ban guns.

This is what happens when you hire immature Americans who play paintball and shoot bb guns at squirrels for fun. You would never catch an H1b with such ridiculous things for amusement.

All you can do is try to play internet tough-guy. You don't have an actual argument to make or the skill to make one if you did. The Second Amendment is NOT what you've been told and told and told it is, and Heller/McDonald did not create an expanded right to own or carry weapons.

Some libtard saw a photo of a gun on the cover of a magazine in someone's car, and went into a frenzied panic. That's what this was all about.

Hundreds of people terrorized and thousands of dollars wasted because some jackass left a BB gun within sight in his car.

I don't own a firearm and have never been a member of the NRA or the GOA. You have made no rational argument. Your reading of the jurisprudence on this matter is flawed and it started with your original assertion. I really don't care if you admit it or not.

Wow, you are completely ignorant. Guess what? Guns are not going anywhere. I am well trained with gun safety and training. I know exactly what to do if an intruder comes in. It won't be me or my family. I am not one to hide in my own home.

My grandmother protected herself. Like I said she DID NOT shoot. Just another liberal not READING correctly because of your common core bull. And where exactly are you getting your statistics because they are completely incorrect.
Get yourself educated on guns because you clearly aren't. People kill people, a gun is a tool they use. People also stab one another.

And the reason our Health care costs so much is NOT because of guns. It's because of Obamacare. :-) Yet again, get your facts straight and stop getting your information from yahoo and Wikipedia
