Capitol lockdown: 1 officer dead, 1 injured after car rams into barrier; suspect killed by police
FOX ^ | 02 April 2021 | By Tyler Olson, Morgan Phillips

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.

It’s early yet. I’m sure our trustworthy fbi will make the connection from a q-anon memo.

Did the officer die of knife wounds? Or from being hit by the Navy Sedan? (You see, I didn’t go to the article....)

Doesn’t look Amish to me. Quite the contrary.

Let’s get his name out there for everyone to see. Background, Facebook, etc.
Don’t hide this under the politically correct rug. Don’t cover this up!!

“Knife in hand”, that’s a favorite Muslim terrorist method. See London, etc., not to mention the car as a weapon.

No wonder this didn't make the news in 70 point typeface. Why? Because the perp is a Negro. If the the perp had been White, oh my God but would we be in for one hysterical weekend. You know, it's the threat of "White Supremacy". Funny but it seems that Black Supremacy doesn't bother them at all.

Yes, and we would be told that the FBI is doing a thorough investigation of all of the suspect’s acquaintances and social media posts.

Lets see, one cop dead and another injured and it's not terrorism? I'd bet money the victims would disagree.

yeah, from here to eternity Trump will be blame for instigating any violence upon Authorities, Minorities, and the rest of the Disadvantaged citizenry.

It is the Free Republic tradition. We never read the article before commenting.

The suspect was not known to police.

Probably not a white conservative then.

He’s got the beard.

I want to know EVERYTHING about this killer. Every last thing. The American people deserve to know about any and all threats, political correctness be damned.

I guess he was a “lone wolf” because there weren’t five other people in the car with him. So there’s no need to check if anyone helped him plan the attack, or goaded him on. Lone wolf. Case closed.

Now let’s all get back to auditing Trump’s tax returns from 1970.

Clearly another innocent peaceful protestor has been killed by a police chokehold...

I can see the knee marks in that picture...

This should be good for at least three nights of burning & looting by the oppressed...

Liberals clearly frustrated.

Recent diabolical, despicable attacks cannot be attributed to white supremacists.
