The Capitol complex has been locked down following an active shooter situation, with the suspect reportedly now in custody.
A Capitol Police officer told The Hill that the shooter is down and the situation is contained. He said one woman had been shot, but it is unclear if she is a Capitol Police officer.
U.S. Capitol Police issued a lockdown alert on Monday afternoon and warned all staffers to stay in place and seek cover if outside. The White House also went into lockdown.
“No one will be allowed to enter or exit any buildings,” an alert to House staffers said.
Police could be heard telling tourists to run away from the Capitol. Other staffers said they left the complex and ran outside when they couldn’t get back into their offices due to the shelter-in-place warning.
