The Capitol Police are in my prayers, and all the loved ones of innocent people losing their life at the hands of violent people.

A Facebook page belonging to a man matching the suspect's name has now been taken down. It showed he was a fan of the leader of Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan

My sincerest condolences to the next of kin of the officer who died in the line of duty. My tears are running down my cheeks as I write this and I pray that the senseless killings we have been experiencing since 2020 can be put to an end.

My heart goes out to the family of the officer who was killed. Such a waste, such a shame. Another very young man going solo to make some kind of twisted point. This is a time of great sorrow.

Most unfortunately we can see things are getting back to normal in the USA with acts like today and the recent mass shootings. Tragic.

RIP to the dead officer. Where is America heading to?

Crazy people doing crazy things. Crime is increasing everywhere. Be aware of your surroundings folks

To everyone yelling about why are all these guards still at the capital and why do they still need the barricades... this is why, the threat is definitely still a present danger. R.I.P to the cop

Notice no one in media mentions anything about the suspect? Ban all vehicles with 4 doors and trunk. Politicians life matter

[douglassmith]

Why did the suspect do this and why are no news articles mentioning motives???
