Two people killed; a suspect and a Police man and other officer injured at Capitol Hill in Washington DC.

A suspect rammed a car against one of the barricades at Capitol Hill this afternoon killing one Policeman; William Evans and injuring another. William was 18-year US Capitol Police veteran.

The suspect; 25 years old Noah Green, who wasn’t known to the Police, got out of the car immediately after hitting the barricade and threatened Capitol Hill policemen with a knife which led to his being shot and killed.

The Capitol Hill was immediately placed on lockdown as National Guard and the Washington DC local police got to the scene quickly to investigate and provide support.

This is the first attack on the Capitol Hill since the January 6 insurrection and according to the Police, there is no suspicion of terrorism.
