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.

“It is the Free Republic tradition.
We never read the article before commenting.”
Just thank of the time we save by commenting before reading it.
Plus, we often get clear and concise comments.
Which save us a lot of time, versus reading what is often, not the best grammar.
When you are 82+, that time saving is important.
Not doubt they'll now create a new one, portraying the suspect as a troubled black teen who identified as a white guy and a member of the "Poor Boys".
Perp was black, came out with a knife after ramming his car into cops..gee how will the commie media run with this story..will BLM riot tonight in honor of the dead perp..which Best Buy or Target store will be looted
if the killer was white we would be hearing the steady drumbeat of “white supremacy for the next several weeks or months even years.
A white supremacist in black-face - figures.
For the perp or the dead officer?
But, but, but the poor black victim who had been persecuted his whole life and only had a knife was shot by the evil police. Sounds like BLM and Antifa need to be on the march this weekend because of this massive injustice.
Chief Yogananda Pittman. Fast tracked from police officer to police chief would be my guess.
The upside is all those filthy, yellow democrats in DC must be quaking in their boots with fear.๐
It it were a white guy, they’d be standing on the Capitol steps RIGHT NOW demanding more security for themselves from these evil violent white insurrectionist!
Blue car?
If he’s not a Trump supporter the story will be one by diner time.
Saw the picture of the killer on another thread. NOT Amish.
Used his car to ram the cops, then emerged with the large knife. London comes to mind. I think the same method was used at the Christmas markets in Europe a year or two ago.
The police and FBI are going to do their best to drop this whole thing down the memory hole.
