Going on and Cherry Blossoms are blooming. Its one of the most visited times of the year for the capitol hill area. Im sure that thats being taken into consideration as well. In the control room if you can bring up the 10year yield and 2year yield that would be interesting as well to see if weve seen a little bit of safety there, that would be a natural reaction to whats been happening. The 2year had been going up after the sale. Auction came out at 1 00, highest yield of the year and i have not seen what its done since that time. Good point there. Were monitoring the report that gunshots have been heard in the Capitol Visitors Center which is as we mentioned a moment ago underground complex that allows entry into the capitol.

There that car has tennessee dealer plates, so were still learning more about the history that far vehicle. But now police waiting to issue that search warrant on that car, seeming to be related to mr. Dawson, the suspect, like you said, hes now in surgery. We understand through sources that he was shot in the leg.

But inside the capitol complex, inside the Visitors Center, there were hundreds of people to go, movies going on in the theatres inside the visitor complex, and some people reporting they heard the gunshot.
