Not unexpected, unfortunately.  We've been having a lot of chatter about it in our Politics forum for months.

As with all the things that happen in D.C., it's got a local component for us.  It's a thirty minute or so drive away.  My daughter lives in D.C., in the Shaw neighborhood...so nowhere near what's happening.  She was on the roof of her apartment about twenty minutes before the attack began and said there was no traffic within 3 blocks of P Street in any direction, which she'd never seen before.
