Capitol lockdown: 1 officer dead, 1 injured after car rams into barrier; suspect killed by police

Capitol car crash is the latest threat to security at the complex

The United States Capitol was locked down on Friday due to an "exterior security threat" after a car rammed into a barrier on the Senate side of the complex. One officer died and another was injured, according to United States Capitol Police (USCP), who said the suspect was killed by police after he exited his Navy Sedan and attacked them with a knife.

Fox News is told security officials believe the suspect was a "lone wolf," not connected to any other group.

"Man, we just shot somebody," an officer told Fox News.

Metropolitan Police Department Acting Chief Robert Contee said in a briefing the attack did not appear to be terrorism-related and the suspect had no known connection to a member of Congress. The suspect was not known to police.

Acting USCP Chief Yogananda Pittman said the suspect had exited the car, knife in hand, and "lunged toward" Capitol Police.

"Due to an exterior security threat, no entry or exit is permitted at this time in any building in the Capitol complex," a voice announcement throughout the complex sounded earlier Friday afternoon.

This is not going to go well for those who have been watching the George Floyd trial.

Not surprising that he’s black...

If he had been white the press would have said ‘white supremacists - possible insurrectionists...

When black?

Even if he demonstrated with BLM 50 times he’s still ‘not connected’...

If it turns out his name is Mohammad - this will end up as a cold case.

Officials will not find any motive that he may have had.

None.

At my hobby board, this attack news broke in. Some idiot liberal is frothing about April 11 “white supremacist day” and how it will be violent AND this attack is part of it. LOL someone told him this cop killer is black, so the idiot liberal accused him of mere conjecture- liberals are always hypocrites - and to pull his head out of his ass. No Liebral has a conscience remaining.

Thank you for the ‘typical black male’ photo evidence, TravisMcGee.

Perhaps a common name in Wakanda.

Since he's black he's a lone wolf by definition.

The FBI, Biden's thugs, and the commies running DC only want whites... If the perp is black - whatever crime he committed it nothing.

Locking down DC to scare the girly "men" and bimbos works because the press won't tell people the man who rammed the fence was black...

Yogananda is a Hindu name, not Muslim.
