A man was arrested trying to clear security at a congressional office building with a gun in his bag Thursday, prompting the U.S. Capitol Police to warn staffers to take safety precautions. The U.S. Capitol Police sent a security alert just before 8 a.m. Officers caught up to him and arrested him four minutes later, the USCP said. The man was Jeffrey Allsbrooks, a staff member in the House Chief Administrative Office – a nonpartisan outfit that provides "support services and business solutions" to House offices. There was no indication of any other security threat on Capitol Hill besides the one arrested individual.
