Yes just watching the news like

Pence calls for a stop to this (Sky News)

Not the Chief.

Thanks ZZ.

This is all so shocking, it really is.

Watching on BBC News.

Has the shot being fired been confirmed?

Why do I feel like the Trump family all have a suitcase packed at all times?

Pence calls for a stop to this (Sky News)

Not the Chief.

Yep, still no call to stop from trump. Just weak tweets.

Problem with rolling news is its so hard to tell what's currently live and what's being replayed from earlier.

Thanks ZZ

Shocking scenes

CNN reporting that Ivanka Tweeted that these people are “American patriots” and then deleted it.

Hopefully that’s the end of her political aspirations.

I despair of it all

Staggering scenes

Do we think there is any genuine chance of this being the end of Trump or will he hang on until 20th?

It’s nuts!

Watching on BBC News.

Has the shot being fired been confirmed?

According to Fox News there has been one shooting, victim has been taken to hospital.

@CremeEggThief

Watching on BBC News.

Has the shot being fired been confirmed?

Sky News says one person in critical condition after being shot. Five injured.

Nothing to add, watching with 10 year old DD and trying to explain how insane this is

Woman shot in the neck she looked badly injured

Multiple officers have been injured CNN says. Yes, one woman shot in the chest. There is footage out there so CremeEgg yes it is confirmed

Military police from two cities are being mobilised

Doesn't sound like sending in the national guard was trumps work

Ralph Northam
@GovernorVA
My team and I are working closely with @MayorBowser, @SpeakerPelosi, and @SenSchumer to respond to the situation in Washington, D.C.

Per the Mayor's request, I am sending members of the Virginia National Guard along with 200 Virginia State Troopers

Ah Fox is back to trying to claim 'left wing movements' for the unrest and divisiveness in the US.

Now things are more back to normal.

Trump is a coward - he is probably in his bunker. He'll be terrified that someone will get into the WH.

Did you watch a window being broken with a riot police shield, earlier on?

One of my 'friends' recently revealed themselves to be a Trump supporter. I wonder what they think now.

Didn't take them long then. Disgusting.
