U.S. Capitol Lockdown Lifted, Shooting Incident Stabilized

By /
That’s from this report from POLITICO:

The U.S. Capitol and adjacent buildings were locked down Thursday afternoon, after multiple gun shots were fired on Capitol Hill.

Capitol Police have advised House and Senate employees to “shelter in place” and move away from and lock doors and windows. The order was lifted around 3 p.m.

Tweet from Rep. Colleen Hanabusa (@ColleenHanabusa):

The lockdown has been lifted. Our thoughts and prayers are with the U.S. Capitol Police and all the first responders.

Tweet from Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (@TulsiGabbard): 

The United States Capitol Police have stabilized the incident. Shelter in place lockdown over.
