Another attack at the US Capitol

Just when people thought things were getting back to "normal" in DC, another attack at the US Capitol occurred this afternoon. A driver rammed his car into two police officers at a barrier on Constitution Avenue, then exited the car brandishing a knife and was shot dead on the spot by US Capitol Police officers. One officer -- William ‘Billy’ Evans, an 18-year veteran -- later died at the hospital; there’s no news yet on the second officer injured in the incident.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.

It seems quite obvious he was mentally unstable. I agree with Lynn.

He had to be in some kind of mental state, wanting suicide by cop is my guess. What was he going to accomplish with a knife against cops with guns. and on a holiday when many are on vacation from the Capitol bldg.

Why can't they NOT shoot to kill?

We’ve been watching the news too. Your poor city and the capital guards who protect her.

I just heard this news and thought how awful that this is still ongoing. This is why the fences are still up I guess. Those poor officers.
