An unidentified man reportedly set his car on fire and drove into a U.S. Capitol barricade before exiting his vehicle, firing a weapon indiscriminately and then shooting himself late Saturday night.

U.S. Capitol police have yet to confirm the incident, which PBS first reported. There were no reported injuries aside from the driver.


The incident comes more than a year after another vehicle crashed into a Capitol barricade in 2021, killing one police officer and wounding another.

This is a developing story. Check back soon for updates.

When they said go out in a blaze of glory not sure this is what they meant .

The guy lost his life and achieved nothing other that entertaining others.

Nice, I plan to go for a run around the lawns there in a couple of months.

Sounds like I'm safer in SA

Ag shame fok ne, you still suffering from Trump derangment syndrome?
It's a fair assumption. Trump currently has stochastic terrorism set to 11. There was a nutter trying to shoot nail guns at the FBI the other day for Trump. It's a very fair assumption.

We'll find out as the story develops I guess.

1 How dare you post a foxnews article?!
2 "At this time, it does not appear the man was targeting any Members of Congress, who are on recess, and it does not appear officers fired their weapons," Capitol police said in a statement.
3 'Murica never fails to amuse.
