For those familiar with Houston, or the Johnson

Space Center - Bldg. 44 {Communications} has been evacuated & swarmed by SWAT & others - "white male, 50-60 years old, armed with a pistol, possible shots fired" - as of right now, they're saying he's a contract employee, with a firm based in TN .................................. we're kicking off this stupid season in a record manner {see: Waco; Alfred P. Murrah federal bldg., OKC; Columbine, etc., etc., ......................... }

UPDATE - Ambulance personnel went in with a gurney & equipment - gurney's still in there, but some equipment was returned to ambo - HPD Homicide AND IAD are enroute - there were snipers with SWAT - WHY is IAD a part of this equation? If you deploy snipers, why then hobble them with the paperwork a 'regular cop' has to undergo when s/he discharges their weapon????

UPDATE II - the suspect is dead, apparently of a self-inflicted gunshot, 1 male hostage dead {killed by the suspect}, 1 female hostage was taped up but apparently OK, other than dehydration & anxiety ........................
