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.

If only we still had 25,000 troops here at the Capitol....
The only way to ensure that our Congress Critters are safe is to clear a one-mile "Bipartisan Security Area" around the Capitol--modelled on the "Joint Security Area," marking Korea's 38th parallel.
Yes. Either that or move all the Congress critters to Guantánamo Bay. For their own protection of course.
This event was in breaking news side bar earlier this afternoon but was removed.
Now topping the sidebar is death of April the Giraffe?
How is April’s death more important than this story? Please move to Breaking News?
I am kool with that. Paper ballots and 3 days to vote. Booths close and counting starts and don’t stop. Watchers mandatory. Hand count.
“Then you have to bend over.:)”
Helps to eliminate the time spent on daily calisthenics...
Another maggot meal who will be voting the Demonicrat ticket for decades to come.
Helps to eliminate the time spent on daily calisthenics...”
I have 20 PT exercises to do daily, and I religiously do 19 of the 20.
Of course it helps that my wife, an RN all of her adult life keeps an eagle eye on me for 17 of those reps. Two, we do together. Then, I skip #20.
Well. Hes a Black DEMOCRAT MUSLIM, so they will NOT put the fences back up!!!

Both are more worthy of breaking news that Boner is an idiot or that Obama is a Muslim traitor from Kenya.
That’s what dead looks like Actor Babbitt.
navy blue color?
Five thousand National Guard troops to protect the Capitol and they couldn’t protect shit!!
Hahaha! Lmafoooo!!
The Capitol police and national guard seem to be absolutely worthless and all for show.
Maybe you are working (too much) from home? ;)
re: Yogananda
That’s the name of the Capitol Police officer who’s been giving updates, NOT the suspect.
I still haven’t seen the dead suspect’s name. I’m guessing he was a Muslim.
Right. He’s a Nation of Islam follower, loves Louis Fahrakan.
Bending over and getting back up vertically when one is over 80 is not a great exercise.:)
