The United States Capitol was locked down on Friday due to an "exterior security threat," as the United States Capitol Police (USCP) said two officers were injured after a car rammed into them.
A USCP officer also told Fox News on the scene that "we just shot somebody."
"Due to an exterior security threat, no entry or exit is permitted at this time in any building in the Capitol complex," a voice announcement throughout the complex sounded.

"You may move around the buildings but stay away from exterior windows and doors," it also said.
Capitol Police outside of the building were seen tending to at least one person on the ground, with two stretchers rolled out and large amounts of law enforcement and first responder activity.
Two people were pushed on separate stretchers into two separate ambulances, which have left the scene.
