Running for Congress: Pooch leads police, reporter and Senate staffers on hairy rush-hour chase around Capitol
By Chad Pergram
I thought it was a jogger at first.
Someone clad in black ran up the sidewalk on the north side of Constitution Avenue, just across from the Senate side of the U.S. Capitol.
But it was too fast for a jogger. There was an urgency.
This was a female U.S. Capitol Police officer, wearing a thick tactical vest. A radio pack and other police equipment sprouted from the front. Then yelling.
Then three other Capitol Police officers charged up Capitol Hill, knees churning.
Police radios crackled. Something was terribly wrong. (Continue Reading)

Video captures Oklahoma airman’s kind act after seeing woman in need
OKLAHOMA CITY — A random act of kindness caught on video shows Airman Jibril Jennings pulling over to help an elderly woman walking with her groceries along a busy Oklahoma road.
The viral video is already getting millions of views and has more than 40,000 shares.
Jennings doesn’t believe he did anything heroic, he said he just stopped to help a neighbor in need.
With her walker full of grocery bags, Janice Hall still had more than 2 miles to go in the blistering heat when Tinker Airman Jibril Jennings happened to drive by.
“There was a human being in the middle of the road that obviously needed help, and everyone was just driving past,” Jennings said.
“I went from the post office to Walmart, then from Walmart to my bank,” Hall said.
After pulling over and loading his car up with Hall’s groceries, the two took off, making their way toward Janice’s home and sparking a friendship that would touch thousands of strangers.
“I could tell it meant so much to her someone was helping out,” Jennings said.
What they didn’t know was that somebody else saw Jennings’s act of kindness. That person recorded the entire thing and posted it online, where it was soon shared and seen by millions.
“I told him he deserved a hug. I just gave him a great big old hug and thanked him. Then he went on his way,” Hall said.
But, true to how most heroes often react, Jibril said it was all in a day’s work, and that he was simply doing his job.
“I don’t think this is a hero’s moment. I think this is something anybody should be able to do. If this qualifies for a hero, anybody could be a hero,” he said.
Jibril and Janice said they plan to remain lifelong friends. He has even organized a group of airmen to come and help with repairs to her home.
