you ve been obviously watching this for the last several hours as it s unfolded. the police did get the suspects as far as they all know. the metropolitan police chief has said as far as they know, all three, and there were only three, have been, in her words, neutralized. give me your assessment of the speed with which this happened and what you think this was. so this is a unique type of attack. i ve been calling it it was sort of low sophistication, high organization. this is not your typical lone wolf attack. and it was not a bomb or a large detonation that would have had to have been organized or planned where things would have been purchased. this was a simple van and some knives. but on the other hand, you had three men coordinate simultaneously to do this, which takes, of course, some planning and some sort of collusion, i guess is the right word. what we don t know at this stage, christiane, is whether there was some outside hand.
just began to shoot. we now know according to the metropolitan police chief, 12 people have been killed. there were multiple injuries. again, we are waiting for this news conference to kick up in washington talking about the state of some of those injured. but i want to take you specifically to the capitol, which is not too far away from the washington navy yard. that s where we have our chief congressional correspondent, dana bash. dana, bring me up to speed as far as whether or not the senate is on lockdown, what s happening where you are? reporter: the senate is technically on lockdown and has been for a little less than an hour. what that means is this door back here that goes directly into the senate is closed and members of congress who want to leave and come apparently can. that s according to some of the police officers i ve talked to. but everybody else is not allowed to enter the building, not allowed to leave the building, and same goes for the three senate office building
