Guard Shot at U.S. Census Bureau; Suspect Shot, Arrested
Now what type of person do you think would attack the Census Bureau?
This was not an attack on the census bureau, but rather a Census Bureau guard who was intervening in what appears to be a case of domestic violence / kidnapping. See the Washington Post link at bottom.
A suspect accused of shooting a guard at the U.S. Census Bureau headquarters in Suitland, Md., was apprehended after a chase in Washington, D.C.
The incident started Thursday evening when the gunman used their vehicle to ram into the gates outside the Census Bureau’s headquarters, NBC Washington reported.
A security guard was then shot and was in critical condition.

From the Washington Post:
A man kidnapped a woman, fatally shot a Census Bureau guard and led police on a car chase through Maryland and Washington, before authorities cornered him in an exchange of gunfire that left the suspect and a police officer wounded, authorities said.
The guard, identified as Lawrence Buckner, died at a Prince George’s Hospital Center after Thursday evening’s chase and shooting, said Erika Murray, a spokeswoman for the hospital in Cheverly, Maryland. She did not give Buckner’s age.
