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.

Clearly Donald Trump’s fault.
Can’t believe what they say regardless.
Did the FBI hear lots of “chatter” about this prior to the attack? Like all those insurrectionists who showed up for 3-4 “real inauguration day” or those massive violent protests in State Capitols on 1-20?
Yeah, that’s my guess too. But they capitalized the words Navy Sedan. Just under-education journalists I guess.
Have you been paying attention to the state of journalism lately? The generation that has grown up on a dumbed-down curriculum has come of age and entered the workforce.
“When you are 82+, that time saving is important.”
That’s why there are Velcro closures available on full sized shoes.
I think that’s a Crimson Sedan.
He was armed with either an AK-S or an AK-M. AK-S is an Assault Knife - short. AK-M is an Assault Knife - Manchette.
Translation, the person is not a white guy.
Wasn’t this on Breaking News Sidebar 15 minutes ago?
Why was it moved?
So, Nancy Pelosi orders the flag flown at half staff. Is she is charge? I thought that was a President’s authority..
Then you have to bend over.:)
Sedition/ terrorism is when the guards pull back the barriers and guide you into the building and someone raises their voice.
Ramming the gate and murdering a police officer is ok if you are a preferred person not fitting the agenda.
Cue the conspiracists...”Not Ashli on the stretcher”...
Farcebook deleted his page. Farcebook is promoting cop killing by muzzes.
Not just black, member of Nation of Islam.

Expect the story to be buried quickly
I completely quit posting news for this kind of thing. I have no idea of the reasons things go bye bye in breaking news and even news sections. FR used to be a pretty decent news reader, but it doesn't serve that purpose anymore.
I think there should be forum news editors or something and they should be alerted by email of news items that members suggest to be newsworthy and then get it posted up if warranted. I would love to see the site be an effective news reader site again.
Another lone FBI wolf.
