A police officer and a suspect have died after a car rammed into a barricade at the US Capitol.

Shortly after 1pm local time, a man in a blue Sedan car rammed his vehicle into the North Barricade at the US Capitol striking two USCP officers.

He then left the vehicle and ran towards the officers with a knife when he was shot by one of them.
