Five hours after drill for same event: Man with gun shot by police at Capitol Visitor Center | 28 March 2016 | A man with a gun was shot by police Monday afternoon at the Capitol Visitor Center at the U.S. Capitol Complex, according to two D.C. police officials. He was taken to MedStar Washington Hospital Center. The report of gunfire in a city on heightened alert because of terrorist attacks in Europe sent dozens of emergency vehicles to the Capitol building and forced staff and visitors into lockdown. Road barricades went up, and police officers with automatic rifles were stationed on street corners. The shooting occurred about 2:40 p.m. at the entrance to the visitors’ center, an underground complex east of the Capitol building.
