... Barvetta Singletary sent her boyfriend a text on Friday, asking him to come to her Upper Marlboro home for sex. After they had sex, Singletary confronted her boyfriend about other woman he was dating.

Investigators say Singletary asked her boyfriend to step outside, and they both went to his car. Once inside the car, police say Singletary asked to see her boyfriend's cellphones. When he refused, Singletary reached into his bag and retrieved two cell phones and the victim's .40 caliber Glock 23 service weapon...

Singletary ran back into her home and the victim followed, pleading with her to return his weapon.

Police say Singletary demanded that the victim give her the passwords to the phones, but he refused.

Singletary then pulled the gun out of its holster, pointed it at the victim and said, "You taught me how to use this. Don't think I won't use it," ...

When the victim again refused to give her the passwords, Singletary said, "Your phone is more important than me holding the gun on you."

Police say Singletary pointed the gun in the victim's direction and fired one round.

Prior to joining the White House staff at a salary of $125,000 in 2014, Ms. Singletary worked as deputy chief of staff and policy director to Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina, the third-ranking House Democrat.

Hypothetical Question
If the military awards their members who get wounded in combat a purple heart, what should the Capitol Police award their members who get wounded on a booty call?

She wasnt trusted with a gun. She got ahold of one anyways. Which is yet more proof that gun laws are pointless.

Reduce the cause of crimes first (education, employment, family stability), then you'll see a reduction in crime.

I fail to see why anyone would hit that even without risk of being shot with his own gun.

CBSNews: U.S. Capitol Police leaving loaded guns in public places

Capitol police officers have been involved in three incidents where they left their guns in places accessible to the public...

A Glock and magazine were left in the toilet seat cover holder of a Capitol Visitor Center bathroom stall in January. It was reportedly left in the Senate office space bathroom by a member of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's security detail.

Another Glock was found in the bathroom of the House speaker's suite in March -- this time, discovered by a young child. The 7- or 8-year-old found the gun allegedly lost by an officer in the security detail of Speaker of the House Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio...

Another Glock, found the night of April 16 by a janitor, was left in plain sight at Capitol Police headquarters...

The U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) later added in a statement that reports of the improper weapons handling "should not have been released to the public, as these are law enforcement sensitive, internal personnel matters currently under investigation."

Don't know about the white house staff, but the US Capitol Police seem to have a difficult time holding on to their weapons...

Barvetta.

Bar. Vetta. Hehe, that's great. This shouldn't crack me up, I admit, but it does.

Barvetta Singletary. Has a certain, oh I don't know, Veronica Corningstone quality to it I think.:biggrin:

Also, yes, she looks a little crazy.
