Reason for golds mini rally?; Capitol Police Probing Reports of Gunfire May 26 11:44 AM US/Eastern Email this story By DAVID ESPO AP Special Correspondent WASHINGTON Police investigated reports of gunfire in a House office building on Friday and briefly sealed off the Capitol as a precaution. Capitol police were 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. There was no confirmation of gunfire. The FBI and D.C. Fire Department said there have been no injuries reported. Capitol police scheduled a noon EDT briefing. The Senate was in session at the time, but the House was not as most lawmakers had left for the Memorial Day recess. Four ambulances were on standby outside Rayburn as police methodically searched the office building. Police lined the street between the Capitol and the Rayburn building, rifles prominently displayed. Dozens of police officers, many of them armed with assault rifles, milled around outside the entrance to the garage. 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. The Rayburn House Office Building was completed in early 1965 and is the third of three office buildings constructed for the U.S. House of Representatives. It sits southwest of the Capitol. The building has four stories above ground, two basements and three levels of underground garage space.
