华盛顿 — 美国国会警察局长表示,一名18岁男子据称手持猎枪冲向国会大厦,已于周二被国会警察逮捕。

美国国会警察局长迈克尔·沙利文(Michael Sullivan)称,该男子在中午刚过就将一辆白色梅赛德斯SUV停在国会大厦附近,随后下车并携带猎枪。他随后开始朝着国会大厦西侧(毗邻国家广场的一侧)奔跑。

沙利文在周二下午的新闻发布会上表示:“该男子受到美国国会警察的命令,要求其放下武器,他照做了。他放下武器后趴在地上,随后被我们的国会警察逮捕。”

沙利文称,该男子(未透露姓名)身穿战术背心并佩戴战术手套。他表示猎枪已上膛,且该男子还携带了额外的弹药。沙利文说,警方在其车辆中发现了一个凯夫拉头盔和一个防毒面具。

警察局长称,国会警察此前并不认识该嫌疑人。他表示,该18岁男子“不住在该地区”。他说车辆未登记在该男子名下,且该男子有多个地址,“因此我们正在追查他的实际来源地”。

当被记者问及嫌疑人的动机时,沙利文表示警方目前尚不清楚动机,调查仍在进行中。

美国国会警察周二早些时候曾表示,该男子已被拘留,且似乎没有其他嫌疑人或持续威胁。

沙利文称赞了逮捕该男子的警察们。

“谁也不知道如果我们的警察没有像往常一样每天在此站岗,会发生什么情况。”他说道。

Man arrested running toward Capitol with shotgun and wearing tactical vest, police say

Washington — An 18-year-old man allegedly carrying a shotgun and running toward the Capitol was arrested by U.S. Capitol Police on Tuesday, the head of the police force said.

U.S. Capitol Police Chief Michael Sullivan said the man parked a white Mercedes SUV near the Capitol just after noon and exited the vehicle with the shotgun. He then began running toward the West Front of the Capitol, the side that is adjacent to the National Mall.

“This individual was challenged by United States Capitol Police officers in order to drop the weapon, which he did comply with,” Sullivan said at a news conference Tuesday afternoon. “He laid down the weapon and then laid down on the ground and was taken into custody by our United States Capitol Police officers.”

Sullivan said the man, whom he did not name, was wearing a tactical vest and had tactical gloves. He said the shotgun was loaded, and the man was carrying additional rounds. Officers found a Kevlar helmet and a gas mask in his vehicle, Sullivan said.

The police chief said the suspect was not previously known to Capitol Police. He said the individual is an 18-year-old “who does not live in the area.” He said the vehicle was not registered to the individual and he had multiple addresses, “so we’re trying to chase down where he actually came from.”

Asked by a reporter about the suspect’s motive, Sullivan said police were unaware of a motive and that the investigation is ongoing.

U.S. Capitol Police noted earlier Tuesday that the individual was in custody and that there did not appear to be other suspects or an ongoing threat.

Sullivan commended the officers who apprehended the man.

“Who knows what could have happened if we wouldn’t have had officers here standing guard like they do every single day,” he said.
