shooter on the loose or active shooter on the loose or active shooter situation then of course there would be a situation would be different, but within minutes the capital police capture the suspect and of course as soon as he crash the car they fired at him or arrested him and then he literally died. so after that there was no ongoing incident. so as soon a need investigated what happened, who this guy was from, where the car came from, it's as it was investigated and they were confident that this is nothing more happening here they opened the lockdown going back to normal. it will take time before they get back to what happened about an hour and a half ago. happened about an hour and a half auo. , ~ happened about an hour and a half auo. , . ., , ., ago. this incident was undergoing

they say. forensic investigation now undergoing. we saw photos being taken earlier. there was a lot of activity, you could see the lights flashing. just to give you a quick update, the us capitol police on twitter have said that they, the us capitol police has cleared the external security threat incident located at all of the us capitol campus buildings. however, the area around the crime scene, what you can see there, will continue to be restricted and individuals should follow police direction. wejust heard individuals should follow police direction. we just heard there from recko ones that national guard are around and direct in people who would have been in the lockdown, caught up in that lockdown and how it where to exit the tunnels that would have been used as well. at a statement also posted on the twitter feed of the us capitol police. it says we are devastated to share the sad news that one of our four officers involved in this afternoons incident passed away. the us ep, capitol police is working to notify the officers next of kin before it releases additional information. just after 1pm a man and a blue sedan rammed his vehicle into the north barricade at the us capitol striking two officers. the department immediately walked down the capital campus. which we understand has the capitol building and up to four other buildings around it. the man exited the vehicle with a knife and ran towards our officers. at least one officer drew their weapon and shot the suspect. one of was transported by a cruiser to the hospital. the second capitol police officer was transported by dc fire and ems. we understand that there was a helicopter involved in that transfer. the suspect was also transported by the dc fire and ems to the hospital where he succumbed to the hospital where he succumbed to his injuries around 1:30pm local time. the investigation is ongoing. we will provide more details as soon as we can. ok, let's speak to a former washington dc police

right now. they are operating under incredibly taxing circumstances since january six. it's been a less than a week they have not even removed all the barriers yet from january six. there was a push to remove those barriers and they haven't even completed that and this attack occurred today. how dangerous is it now for — attack occurred today. how dangerous is it now for security, _ attack

capitol police are specifically trained to i police are specifically trained to address threats of the building. washington, dc is a city of many buildings with secure access for both vehicles and pedestrians. so they cling at their training extensive to understand the threat that a vehicle brings towards them. as a dc police officer vehicles are a deadly weapon. they can easily be used to harm people. in the circumstance the vehicle was used to initially hit the officers that was standing in front of the barrier. probably standing there do id checks or staff and other capitol police that

have anybody specifically to interview. at the lives that we live these days, we have a huge digital footprint that we leave in our daily lives that will be helpful. i have every confidence i dc

right now the capitol police are looking at all their methods and procedures that they utilise in determining what works and what doesn't. actively changing as necessary to policing to do that. as far as the district of columbia, dc is the city, i'm a proud resident of dc, we have lots of barriers, barricades lots of federal buildings here with restricted access to roads to enter them. this is very common for us. there have been instances like this before, unfortunately. and dc will just keep on ticking.— just keep on ticking. there are so many security _ just keep on ticking. there are so many security agencies _ just keep on ticking. there are so many security agencies involved l just keep on ticking. there are sol many security agencies involved in this. we know the fbi obviously are now

area. police information sharing has been a challenge for all of these agencies post 9/11, the 9/11 report speaks to the challenges that these agencies face when sharing information. the differently of late—night levels of classification that agencies use the different means they used to classify information, the security protocols for security clearances to access that information, these are all complex questions that provide additional complexities to the sharing of information. i'm sure this incident will reveal vulnerabilities in that information sharing just as january six has revealed complications to information sharing among police and intelligence agency.— intelligence agency. finally, going forward, intelligence agency. finally, going forward. do _ intelligence agency. finally,

that the new chief of capitol police as well as chief of capitol police as well as chief conti will take this very seriously in terms of changes that need to be made. in terms of access to buildings. the white house for example, in front of 1600 pennsylvania ave in dc for many years, i rememberthe pennsylvania ave in dc for many years, i remember the first time i visited washington, dc, you could drive your vehicle in front of the white house. many movies to show scenes where vehicles can drive past that white house was unfortunately now, that is been shut off because of the threat. for as long as i can remember you cannot drive in front of the white house. since i've lived in dc which is been close to 20 years now. the capitol building and the surrounding roads, this is going to be something that might need to be examined and i'm sure it will be thought about. be examined and i'm sure it will be thought about-— thought about. okay. former washington. _ thought about. okay.

you very much for your insight. that's the live scene from the capitol building. one of the entrances, the roads to it. the car involved in that incident, the driver of that car is dead. he succumbed to his injuries have to shot by one of the capitol police officers. but also sadly we were informed today that two officers that were hit by that car has also died from his injury. the second is currently being treated. we have no further information, personal information until the next of kin have been informed. to remind you if you're just have been informed. to remind you if you'rejustjoining us here on bbc news, a car has driven through a barricade outside the heavily guarded us capitol building in washington. hitting two police officers, shots were then fired as the car hit that barricade, you can see on your screen. the suspect was apprehended and himself as well as two officers were transferred to hospitals, different hospitals and critical conditions. one officer was later pronounced dead as was the suspect. the capital precinct was put into lockdown and congress is currently on recess. president biden left washington earlier today for camp david. last month the authorities began to dismantle some of the security measures, some of the fencing that had been put in place after the storming of the capital by trump supporters on january the 6th. that is the latest we have there in terms of what happened today. just after one o'clock local time in washington. we've been hearing from the us capitol police. they give us an update in the last hour confirming that one police officer had been killed and the suspect had also died. let'sjust remind killed and the suspect had also died. let's just remind you killed and the suspect had also died. let'sjust

approximately 102 hours this afternoon a suspect entered what ree referred to as the north barricade of the capital. the suspect rammed his car into two of our officers and then hit the north barricade barrier. at such time the suspect exited the vehicle with a knife in hand. our officers then engage that suspect, he did not respond to verbal commands, the suspect did start lunging towards us capitol police officers at which time us capitol police officers fired upon the suspect. at this time the suspect has been pronounced deceased. two us capitol police officers were transported to two different hospitals, and it is with a very, very heavy heart that i announce one of our officers has succumbed to his injuries. we are not able to release any information, names, age, date of birth or anything of that nature at this time. because we still have to notify the next of kin. ijust asked that the public continue to keep us capitol police and their families in your prayers. this has been an extremely difficult time for us capitol police after the the events of january six and now the events that occurred here today. i ask that you keep our us capitol police family and your
