Security breach at US Capitol

Shortly before 8:00 am., a yet-unidentified man crashed his SUV through a security barricade at the U.S. Capitol and into a water fountain on the plaza in the middle of an area undergoing construction. The man then jumped from his vehicle and ran into the building near the Rotunda with Capitol Police in pursuit. According to witnesses, police caught up with the man who was apprehended in a construction area on the third floor of the Capitol complex. Hill staffers were instructed to remain in their offices while police investigated the incident.
