A car with a severely deformed front end is towed.

A control line has been placed in front of the entrance gate to the Capitol, and police are busy cleaning up the scene.

On the afternoon of the second local half, a car collided with a barricade in front of the US Capitol checkpoint in Washington, DC.

A man who got out of the car injured two people wielding a gun by the police guarding the scene.

One of them died during treatment, and the man who was shot and arrested was also taken to hospital, but died.

Shortly after the incident, the police closed the Capitol area, put the National Guard to go to the lookout, and got it up in two hours.

At the time of Easter Humura, the legislators were not in the capitol.

The dead cop was identified as William Billy Evans, who served 18 years as a Congressional police officer.

The suspect is known to be a 25-year-old man, but the motive for the crime is still unknown.

President Biden issued a statement expressing his condolences to the bereaved, saying he was in pain and ordered an early rise on the 6th.

The US media has pointed out that the nightmare of the intrusion of former President Trump’s supporters on the Capitol in January is still alive, and security problems on Capitol have resurfaced.

It is reported that the number of armed defense forces guarding the Capitol recently decreased and some of the security walls were removed, reducing the level of security.
