US Capitol: 1 officer dead, 1 injured after car rams Capitol barrier

Terrorism does not appear to be the reason (do they mean the suspect is white?)



One Capitol Police officer was killed and another was injured after a car rammed into one of the barriers surrounding the Capitol complex on Friday, forcing the area into a lockdown, with police fatally shooting a single suspect.

Police said a vehicle rammed into two officers. A suspect exited the vehicle with a knife and started "lunging" toward officers, who then fired on the person, acting Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman said at a briefing Friday afternoon.

"He did not respond to verbal commands. The suspect did start lunging toward U.S. Capitol Police officers, at which time U.S. Capitol Police officers fired upon the suspect", she said.

"The suspect has been pronounced deceased. Two U.S. Capitol Police officers were transported to two different hospitals, and it is with a very, very heavy heart that I announce one of our officers has succumbed to his injuries".

Scarce details: Capitol Police later identified the officer who died as William "Billy" Evans. DC police said they will continue to investigate the motive behind the attack.

"It does not appear to be terrorism-related, but obviously we'll continue to investigate to see if there's some type of nexus", acting Metropolitan Police Chief Robert Contee said of the attack.
