The United States Capitol was locked down on Friday due to an “exterior security threat,” as the United States Capitol Police (USCP) said two officers were injured after a car rammed into them and sources said officers shot a suspect.

The suspect exited his car wielding a knife and was shot by the USCP. Fox News is told security officials believe the suspect was a “lone wolf,” not connected to any other group.

“Man, we just shot somebody,” an officer told Fox News.

“Due to an exterior security threat, no entry or exit is permitted at this time in any building in the Capitol complex,” a voice announcement throughout the complex sounded.
