U.S. Capitol locked down after crash injures officers and driver shot

A Capitol Police officer died on Friday after a driver rammed a vehicle into a barricade outside the building.

After crashing into two officers on Constitution Avenue and ramming the car into a barricade, the driver exited the vehicle and brandished a sharp object, prompting Capitol Police officers to shoot the driver, according to a person briefed on the incident. Both the injured officers and the suspect were transported to a nearby hospital. The suspect was later pronounced dead.

He didn’t do it with a gun maybe we should start banning cars because they can be classified as assault vehicles.

Seems somewhat odd that right before the fence was supposed to come down something happened.... that tiny car took and a person with a knife was a security threat?
Really?

This story will disappear from main stream media after today for obvious reasons.

[kcop]

Every single media outlet refuses to mention the race in the title. Some even word it in a manner that would suggest the car rammed the barrier on its own.

Now that we know he was a black Luis ferrakhan follower we will see this story disappear bc it doesn't fit the narrative.

It was already locked down. Boy, the capitol police need some training

[knottreel]

I can here it now. Who really needs a car with a Chevrolet 454 big block. Those need to be banned.
