One Capitol Police Officer and Suspect Dead After Vehicle Attack

One Capitol police officer was killed and another was injured after being rammed by a car at the U.S. Capitol building Friday. Washington Metro police said there is no clear motive for the attack yet, and that it "does not appear to be terrorism-related." Police reportedly shot and killed the driver after he brandished a knife and ran toward them. The suspect was identified as a 25-year old man from Indiana who was not previously known to Capitol or D.C. Metro authorities; the suspect's Facebook page showed him to be a follower of the Nation of Islam, according to multiple reports. Coverage on all sides focused on reactions from the political world, and recalled the deadly chaos at the U.S. Capitol on January 6. Reports from right-rated outlets focused much more on the suspect's background and speculation about a possible motive.
