Shooting At FRC Headquarters

At around 10:45 a.m. this morning, a gunman entered the lobby of the headquarters of the Family Research Council in the Chinatown area of Washington, DC.  After expressing disagreement with some of the FRC's policies, he was confronted by a security guard, whom he shot in the arm.  The guard then wrestled the gunman to the ground.  The suspect was arrested and turned over to the FBI for questioning.  The guard remains in stable condition.  According to some witnesses, the suspect carried a Chik-Fil-A bag.
