The United States Capitol was locked down on Friday due to an "exterior security threat" after a car rammed into a barrier on the Senate side of the complex. One officer died and another was injured, according to United States Capitol Police (USCP), who said the suspect was killed by police after he exited his navy sedan and attacked them with a knife. Acting USCP Chief Yogananda Pittman said the suspect had exited the car, knife in hand, and "lunged toward" Capitol Police. One police officer died as a result of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, and two subsequently died of suicide after the attack. "Praying for the United States Capitol Police officers who were attacked at the Capitol," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., tweeted.
