It sounds like two officers were caught between the car and the barricade and they shot the suspect. But there's a lot of conflicting reports.
Ugh.

I've been taking a bit of a news break while my kids are off school but saw the Capitol incident on Twitter and ran here Same. Checking in to make sure you all are okay, since I know lots of people are doing day trips to the Mall during spring break, and to try to figure out wtf is going on.

Sounds like he was definitely there to do damage. Rammed officers, crashed into barricade, then jumped out of car with a knife

My phone was pinging like crazy with alerts. Hoping all the officers will recover from their injuries. Sounds like the suspect is in custody.

Move across the riiiiver. We actually chose Wisconsin over MN because of free preK. Although whether it’s full day or half depends on each city apparently. We ended up not using it because of homeschool life but I’m not mad at my tax dollars going there. Some of us have free preK here too bunny!! *cries in Virginia with no public preK*

We have free pre-k, but it's only 2.5 hours/day. So you still need transportation and other day care.

CNN's sources also saying suspect is dead. I hope they're able to determine as much as possible regarding motives, etc., even so.

Someone will find his social media You would think a 'smart' assailant would scrub social media before executing plans, wouldn't you? But, yeah, hope all the authorities are digging up a ton of info even as we speak.

I feel pretty positive that even tho the suspect didn't survive, we'll get motive from some long winded posts on FB.
I would prefer they made it, obviously. I'm over loss of life.
