A Capitol Police officer has been suspended after they fired their service weapon inside a congressional office building early Tuesday, authorities said.

The officer, who was not immediately identified, fired the weapon in the break room of the Cannon House Office Building in Washington, DC, US Capitol Police confirmed to The Post.

“The Capitol Police’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) is investigating the discharge of a USCP weapon inside a break room in the Cannon Office Building,” the agency said in a statement. “The officer has been suspended while OPR investigates the incident.”

A Capitol Police spokesperson declined to indicate whether investigators believe the discharge was accidental or how many shots were fired.

“All part of the investigation,” the spokesperson replied.

No injuries were reported.

I thought he was a DC cop not a Crapitol Hill cop.

“are they just trying to avoid using a pronoun?”

I think they want to avoid giving out any information on the officer, even their sex, because internet sleuths were able to identify the Capitol Police officer who shot Ashley Babbitt despite their best attempts to keep that a secret, and they are scared of accountability to the public they are supposed to serve.

That’s hilarious! “They” had an accidental discharge and is suspended. On the other hand, nothing happened to the son of a bitch who murdered Ashli Babbitt. Nice Union government we’ve got.

Maybe he or she was having sex on the break room table when there was a discharge.

“A Capitol Police officer has been suspended after they fired …”

“They” fired? There was more than one shooter?

The Tucson police department had a bullet hole in their elevator for about 30 years or so. I finally heard the story from the nephew of the guy who shot the gun (Also an officer.) He was alone on his way up in the elevator to a meeting with all the top leaders and practicing his fast draw! The elevator opened to him facing the leaders holding his smoking gun. Whoops.

Who knows for sure, but it seems to me, if it was a white, heterosexual, God fearing man, it would have been plastered all over the place. Since it was not specified, I am automatically suspect.

Yup. Sloppy writing. Too lazy to proof.

Seems the Capitol Police aren’t even as skilled as Barney Fife.
