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.

“ I’m surprised that they haven’t called him a white supremacist.....................”

Rather looks like he was driven crazy by white supremacy.

Wasn't there another dummy who had an accident that drew similar response a few years ago, but by the white house barricades?

This is probably just another darwin type moment of someone who was high.

Long shot of scene shows he had to first drive past big black iron fence so likely not a texting issue.

Well yknow if he were white then Nancy Pelosi would’ve let him in - but her police force is obviously racist against black people... /s

What’s a “Navy Sedan”?

An example that editors are ignorant. Was the fact that the driver of this car was a black man? Maybe not if it does not fit the narrative.

Kind of like the Orange “mass shooting” that has now been disappeared off the media.

Navy is a shade of blue. I wonder, did the stealthy journalist put that data in to create some agenda point?

Well if he’s identified by the media as a “lone wolf” with “no terrorist connections” we can be fairly sure he is 1) from the Middle East and 2) not Jewish.

I think a navy sedan is a dark blue 4 door car.
