WASHINGTON (AA): A police officer died on Friday after a suspect rammed a vehicle into him and another officer at the US Capitol.
After striking the officers with his vehicle and hitting an erected barricade, the suspect exited his vehicle with a knife in hand and lunged at other law enforcement personnel, Acting Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman told reporters at a news conference.
Officers then opened fire on the suspect, and he has since been pronounced dead. Pittman said the officers who were rammed by the suspect were transported to different hospitals where one “succumbed to his injuries.”
