Man with Shotgun Runs Toward Capitol, Gets Arrested
U.S. Capitol Police said a man got out of a vehicle with a shotgun Tuesday, started running toward the Capitol and then was arrested.
Capitol Police Chief Michael Sullivan described the incident:
Chief Sullivan also noted that the man “was wearing a tactical vest” as well as “tactical gloves,” according to CNN.
FOX News noted that Capitol Police said the man was “near the west front of the U.S. Capitol building.”
After the man was apprehended, Capitol Police posted on: “At this time, there appear to be no other suspects or ongoing threats. Out of an abundance of caution, please continue to stay away from the area while we investigate and collect evidence. Again, at this time, one person is in custody.”
CNN pointed out that the vehicle the man got out of was not registered in his name.
