We are getting the latest this Tuesday after U.S. Capitol Police say a man was arrested outside the U.S. Capitol building on after bringing a loaded shotgun onto the premises. The incident happened shortly after 12 p.m. on the Lower West Terrace. Officials say the suspect also had multiple rounds of ammunition and was equipped with a tactical-style vest. LiveNOW’s Austin Westfall is speaking with Regina Yurrita from our partners at FOX 5 DC after the suspect was identified as 18-year-old Carter Camacho of Smyrna, Ga. USCP Police Chief Michael Sullivan says officers are trained to stop these exact kinds of incidents. “Just last summer, we held an active threat exercise on the West Front of the U.S. Capitol – in the very location where today’s officers stopped the suspect,” Sullivan said. “These now routine exercises are planned monthly and in different areas of the Capitol Complex to keep our officers ready for potential threats just like this.”
