For the second day in a row the Capitol is on lockdown.
On the heels of a Monday incident that saw a self-styled “prophet from God” pull a gun before before ultimately being subdued and taken into custody, police are now investigating two “unattended packages” near the Capitol building. Here’s Reuters:
The Capitol was placed on lockdown for second day on Tuesday as authorities responded to a suspicious package, authorities said.
U.S. Capitol Police said a suspicious package was found but did not elaborate.
A Reuters witness reported a bomb squad was on the scene.
The lockdown came after a man was shot and wounded by police after he pointed what appeared to be a weapon at officers in the underground U.S. Capitol Visitor Center on Monday.
