[The U.S. Capitol Police] is “responding to the North Barricade vehicle access point along Independence Avenue for reports someone rammed a vehicle into two USCP officers,” the Capitol Police reported.
“A suspect is in custody,” the police report added. “Both officers are injured. All three have been transported to the hospital.”
The Capitol Police corrected the report to note it was Constitution Avenue. The suspect was reported to have a knife.
The guy who just rammed into two Capitol Police officers got out of the vehicle brandishing a knife. Police then shot him.
Will libs call for car control now?
