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.

Their was used as well. A truly poorly written article.

Either there really was more than one reckless shooter or the author was too lazy to phrase the sentence properly.

Or the non-binary shooter uses the pronoun "they."

Sorry. Do an internet search for:

pronouns they-them

Sloppiness or presumed gender fluidity? One never knows these days.

It should not be done, but I know of at least two ADs that happened because the person was practicing their draw. I would bet that is what the officer was doing at the time

It isn’t poorly written; it is to conceal the fact that the perp was female.

“A Capitol Police officer has been suspended after they fired their service weapon ...”
********************************
I guess the officer’s preferred pronoun is “they/their”...

There is no such thing as an accidental discharge of a weapon. It is either a deliberate or a negligent discharge.
