Sketchy information, but here's what I've seen so far:
A man with an assault-type rifle fired up to two dozen rounds at the federal court building in a West Virginia city on Wednesday before security officers returned fire, critically wounding the gunman, the U.S. Marshals Service said.
One security officer within the Wheeling Federal Building was injured by flying debris, but there were no other injuries, said Chief Deputy Mike Claxton of the Marshals Service in northern West Virginia.
The gunman, whose name was not released, was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries, Claxton said.

Glad no innocent people were injured.
Will update as more information becomes available.
UPDATE: It appears the shooter may have been a former Wheeling police officer. Reports now say the suspect has died.
See Wheeling newspaper story.
The Federal Building may not have been the man's only target, as an eyewitness to the shooting said he also may have been targeting the nearby Wheeling YWCA.
Wheeling resident Carla Webb Daniels said she witnessed the shooter fire from the Chase Bank parking lot across Chapline Street from the Federal Building. Daniels said she was in her attorney's office when she heard loud gun shots. When she looked out she saw a white male standing between a silver or gold SUV and a white vehicle in the parking lot pull out a gun and start shooting at the federal building. She then saw the shooter put down the assault rifle and reload before shooting at the YWCA building.
UPDATE:
The Wheeling newspaper now says the shooter has been confirmed as Thomas Picard, a former Wheeling police officer who resigned from the department in July 2000.
