“Please stay away from the area as we are still investigating. We will continue to communicate with the public here,” the Capitol Police said. “If you are inside the Senate Buildings, everyone inside should be sheltering in place as the report was for a possible active shooter. It should be noted that we do not have any confirmed reports of gunshots.”


An internal security threat email was sent to all Senate staffers. All staffers were told to move inside their office or the nearest office immediately and close, lock, and stay away from external doors and windows.

“No one will be permitted to enter or exit the building until directed by USCP,” the threat alert stated.
