The US Capitol is on lockdown after a visitor opened fire, shooting and wounding a police officer - just hours after an active shooter drill in the government building.
Staffers in the visitor center were ordered to shelter in place just before 3pm (Eastern Time) on Monday as police secured the area.
One officer was hospitalized with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds and a female bystander was injured.
The suspect was taken in to custody within minutes of the first shot being fired, the Associated Press reported.
There was confusion as the shooting came soon after a scheduled active shooter drill, which staff had been notified about via email.
A visitor, Cathryn Leff from California, described crowds running and screaming after gunshots sounded as she was walking through security.

Trump’s Fault /s
Trump Supporter, Larry Dawson. Where did that info come from?
probably a result of congress’ “hateful rhetoric”
ask Cruz, Hillary and the rest of Congress how “hateful rhetoric” is what incites violence
I’d make you a bet and, if you took it, the Department of Mental Hygene would have to shoot you with a tranquilizer dart and take you away to a secure facility for intensive therapy. On Fox News they just reported the Capitol Police know the individual, it’s NOT terrorism, and they DIDN’T give his name or ethnicity. Pretty easy to conclude what type of subhuman it was.
his facebook
someone should save it before it gets “edited” to make him a Trump supporter

white guy
I never heard him being aligned with Trump
Thank you for link.
The Daily Mail says the alleged Trump connection came from ABC news, but there’s nothing like that at the link they provided.

The MSM wants to destroy Trump, and when they’re done with him, they will do the same to Cruz.
The suspect has been identified by ABC News as Donald Trump supporter Larry Dawson, of Tennessee, who was arrested in the US Capitol for interrupting a House session in October to shout 'I am a prophet of God'. He has been taken in to custody.
...I didn’t think the sarcasm tag was needed....
The Jimmy Doolittle raid on Tokyo at the start of WW2 just happened to so closely follow a Japanese air raid drill that all the civilians and some of the military units thought the raid was part of the drill.
Coinkidink?
Hmmmm....
100% accurate. Just like you were there. The guy couldn’t have fired a shot as he did not have a gun.
Wrong guy!!!!!

Shooter is Larry —R— Dawson, per comments on Larry —F— Dawson’s FB page.
See post above this one.
The Daily Mail story has completely changed.
Not a Trump supporter any more. LOL!
Wrench, on the radio today they said that dumbass was carrying a pellet gun.
So the lady was struck by a fragment from a miss by one of the Capitol Police it appears.
“at dumbass was carrying a pellet gun.
So the lady was struck by a fragment from a miss by one of the Capitol Police it appears.”
I saw that the other day. Witnesses said he never even pulled it out. Cops are more and more trigger happy these days. Their favorite tool is the gun, and they want to use it to solve every problem they run into.
Reports also state this guy was “well known” to Capitol Police as well as Secret Service. Yet, he still was able to get way to close to secured areas.
