This is a developing story.
There are reports that the dead guy had a knife and slashed at officers.
There are reports an officer has died. I’m so saddened by this. Waiting for the facts before rushing to judgment, but still saddened.
The suspect has been IDed as Noah Green 25 of Indiana, possibly living in Virginia, who had “Follower of Farrakhan” on his Facebook page.
I guess he thought, “Why should the MAGAts have all the fun???”
Saddened by the story, and for the deaths. Will watch for more background information as it, I hope, comes out. Since when is our capitol under siege? Oh, yeah, Jan 6.
