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.

Thats how I knew he was Black, they ruled out terrorism and said he had no connection to any groups. All within a few hours. If hed been White the narrative would have been completely different.

"not connected to any other group."

On his Facebook page, he notes that he is a follower of the Nation of Islam. Suspect is now dead.

Police chief: "We already made up our minds so we aren't even going to bother looking to see if he's a terrorist."

What’s a “Navy Sedan”?

Probably because they can't say 'drunk or high person of color'... saying 'lone wolf' this early means they've ruled out white conservative man.

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

Of course not! Do you read the instructions before putting something together or setting of a new cell phone or a laptop? Do you ask for directions when you are lost?

Translation, he is not a card carying full current on his dues paying member of Al Qaeda.
