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.

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.
He’s dead. Good. Now find his family, his friends, and anybody he associated with. Then get rid of them too.
That shole has been shut and down since joe elect stole the election. January 6 was when the truth should have been told.
