Per FNC: Gun was seen in backpack as men went through security; the man grabbed the backpack and darted off into the building.

It houses offices of Congressional Committes, some Congressmen and staff as I recall.

You would think. Last time a man with a gun got in a Capitol Policeman went down.

The detector spotted the gun in the backpack, at which point the suspect grabbed the backpack and ran from security.

SWAT team combing the building now.

"It's one of the buildings that houses the offices of our congressmen and women."

Don't you really mean "It's one of the buildings that houses the offices of the illegal aliens' congressmen and women."

Might be a lot more than just some idiot with a hand cannon.
