USCP confirms two officers injured after car rams security checkpoint

The US Capitol Police has confirmed that two officers have been injured after a car attempted to run through a security checkpoint.

“USCP is responding to the North Barricade vehicle access point along Independence Avenue for reports someone rammed a vehicle into two USCP officers,” the agency said in a statement on Twitter.

“A suspect is in custody. Both officers are injured. All three have been transported to the hospital.”

There had been previous reports that gunshots were fired at the security checkpoint, but the USCP statement does not mention anything about that.
