An unknown suspect was fatally shot Friday by police after ramming a car into two police officers at the Capitol building and then proceeding to charge at officers on-foot while wielding a knife, announced U.S. Capitol Police Department Friday afternoon.
Two U.S. Capitol police officers were injured in the car attack — which occurred shortly after 1pm — and both of the officers were taken to hospitals in the area, said Acting Capitol Police Department Chief Yogananda Pittman in a press conference. One of the police officers has been pronounced dead, and the extent of the other officer’s injuries are not currently clear.
