US Capitol Briefly Lockdowned After 'Police Activity'

Law enforcement authorities in Washington briefly ordered a lockdown on the U.S. Capitol building and its visitor center Friday morning, following reports of a suspicious individual. Media reports said one person was seen carrying a firearm, which civilians are not permitted to carry on Capitol grounds. Police barred people from entering the building, but later indicated there was no threat and lifted the lockdown.
