DCFD says they have negotiators on the scene but the city has no nets. http://twitpic.com/27nyil

H Street NE is closed going behind Union, where at least 2 firetrucks, an ambulance and a squad car can be seen. But not much urgent activity.

Just ran by there and there's a bus with a couple of windows broken out on N. Cap @ H. Doesn't look like a jumper.

The bus is broken down and unrelated to the jumper.

Per DDOT (@3:42PM): "DCFD is on the scene for a bus fire in the area of N Cap & H Street NE, the roadways are affected, it is best to use alternate routes by avoiding the area."

Also Penn Ave NW from 6th north closed this afternoon with police activity, including bomb squad.

I'm sure tea party activists blame Obama for today's events.

Pretty sure Obama's blaming Bush

Pretty sure Bush's blaming terrorists that don't like Amurka

Man, where was a good sniper when we needed him?
Jul 23, 2010, 1:07:00 PM
what happened to the girl?
Jul 23, 2010, 6:50:00 PM
I'd guess she was arrested and then committed.
