The U.S. Capitol is under lockdown after a car crashed into a security barrier near the building located on Constitution Avenue.
The driver rammed the barrier on the Senate side and exited the vehicle.
Capitol Police shot dead the driver after he jumped out of the car and lunged at them with a knife, Acting Chief Yogananda Pittman told reporters.
Two Capitol Police officers were wounded in the attack, and Fox News is reporting one of the officers has died.
No information was available on the identity of the attacker or his motivation, but Washington Metropolitan Police Chief Robert Contee indicated that a terror link was not suspected at this stage.
“It does not appear to be terrorism-related, but obviously we will continue to investigate,” said Contee.
Liberal journalists and activists rushed to social media to bet that the man who attacked the Capitol Police, killing one, on Friday was a “white Trump supporter” — but they were wrong, as usual.
The attacker appears to have been a young black man.

As soon as it was announced that the police did not believe it was terrorism related, the left rushed to scream racism. Images below:
National Guard troops were mobilized and staff at the huge Capitol complex ordered to stay away from windows and seek cover after alerts went out over the incident.

A helicopter landed on the Capitol grounds and the police were loaded on board to be taken to a hospital.

It’s easy to blame Trump for everything but sometimes these so-called journalists have to take into account that they are making things even worse with their fake news.
We are in a post-truth world now...
The commie leftists do this EVERY TIME, then they say nothing after wards when its proven to be one of their left wing whackos
In bizarro-world, only white people commit terrorism now.
The Lefty media will let the “White Hate Crime” lie make a few laps around the world before they issue a page 6 correction
“Yogananda Pittman.”That just tickles my funny bone every time I hear it.
He has been identified and was a Nation of Islam follower who said he was doing it for that reason. The cop he killed was black.
The Post is reporting it, and I doubt that the MSM can cover it up,
Propaganda is the only form of news reporting left in America.
The Soviet Union and Nazi Germany have nothing on this God-forsaken sh*tshow of a country.
A Muslim attack on the Senate is not terrorism.
Um, OK.
None of these fools learned anything from the Boulder shooting less than two weeks ago. Unbelievable.
Check his ties to the BLM commies
Reason #34509832934879247 why I dislike the lying disingenuous MSM.
“a ‘white Trump supporter’” In an SUV, no doubt.
Nope, no terrorism here!
Maybe they are saying he was acting white.
Who specifically claimed it was a white Trump supporter?
I don’t do social media but I knew as soon as I heard about this the Lefties would blame it on Whitey/Trump.
