Capitol Police said on Twitter that they have a man in custody, “One of our teams just moved in and extracted the man from the SUV. The man is in custody. Everyone is safe.” They also noted: “Please stay away from the area. We will provide more information as soon as we can.” And: “We are continuing to investigate. We will provide more information as soon as we can.”
