Law Enforcement Investigating Car Crash, Gunshots, and Suicide on East Capitol Street
August 14, 2022
Press Release

Just after 4:00 a.m., a man drove his car into the vehicle barricade at East Capitol Street and Second Street.

While the man was getting out of the car, it became engulfed in flames.

The man then fired several shots into the air along East Capitol Street.

When our officers heard the sound of gunfire, they immediately responded and were approaching the man when he shot himself.

Nobody else was hurt.

At this time, it does not appear the man was targeting any Members of Congress, who are on recess, and it does not appear officers fired their weapons.

Our investigators are looking into the man’s background.

DC’s Metropolitan Police Department is handling the death investigation.

At a news conference, Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger said officers “did not hear the individual say anything” during the incident. He said investigators were exploring the man’s social media and running his name through databases, but had so far found nothing tying him to the Capitol.

Police said the vehicle caught fire as the man was getting out of it. Manger said investigators were exploring whether the man might have started the blaze, as it did not appear to have been sparked by the collision.

Manger said the man’s vehicle collided with a barricade at East Capitol and Second streets, and he got out and began walking toward the Capitol. The man, firing a handgun indiscriminately as he crossed First Street, entered onto Capitol property, where a Capitol Police officer saw him shoot himself in the head, Manger said.

Capitol Police said investigators have begun looking into the man’s background; D.C. police have taken over the investigation into his death. Manger said investigators had found addresses for the man in Delaware and Pennsylvania, and he had some criminal history over the past 10 years.

Why he may not be a MAGAT:

He had a handgun, not an AR 15
It was 4 am and MAGATS operate where "they can be on TeeVee"
Fired indiscriminately

14. Trump should have a cemetery on one of his golf courses for his heaven and hell-bound followers.

Maybe even use actual headstones, unlike what he did for his first wife.
