Kingston Staffer Was In House Gym; Taken To Hospital As Precautionary Move
David All, spokesperson for Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA), just sent out the following:
"This morning, a member of Congressman Kingston's staff was in the House Staff Gym when the Rayburn House Office Building was put under lockdown due to alleged gun shots. Under guidance of law enforcement officials, the staffer was taken via ambulance to the hospital. She was not injured or shot, just a little shaken up under the circumstances.
"We have been in contact with our colleague and she is doing well.
"Congressman Kingston is aware of the situation. He has encouraged us to remain cooperative with the Capitol Police as they work to resolve this situation."
The House Staff Gym is located on the second floor of the parking garage of the Rayburn House Office Building which is five floors below Congressman Kingston's office.
