The United States Capitol was locked down on Friday due to an "exterior security threat," as the United States Capitol Police (USCP) said two officers were injured after a car rammed into them and sources said officers shot a suspect.
The suspect exited his car wielding a knife and was shot by the USCP.
"Man we just shot somebody," an officer told Fox News.
"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.
Capitol Police outside of the building were seen tending to at least one person on the ground, with at least two stretchers rolled out and large amounts of law enforcement and first responder activity.
At least two people were pushed on separate stretchers into two separate ambulances, which have left the scene.
USCP said the suspect was in custody. USCP said the suspect and two injured officers were taken to the hospital.
