Washington\u00a0FOX News<\/a> The United States Capitol<\/a> was locked down on Friday due to an “exterior security threat,” as the United States Capitol Police<\/a> (USCP) said one officer died and another was\u00a0injured after a car rammed into them.\u00a0Sources said the suspect exited his car wielding a knife and was shot by the USCP, dying of his injuries.<\/p>\n

Police identified the slain officer as William \u201cBilly\u201d Evans, an 18-year veteran who was a member of the department\u2019s first responders unit. Authorities said the attack did not appear to be related to terrorism.<\/p>\n
