根据对他提起的刑事指控文件，这名被控周二持上膛猎枪冲向美国国会大厦的18岁男子告诉警方，他想与一名国会议员交谈。
来自佐治亚州的男子卡特·卡马乔（Carter Camacho）周三在联邦法院首次出庭，被控在美国国会大厦范围内非法持有枪支。卡马乔未认罪，将在等待3月初拘留听证会期间继续被监禁。
被告穿着周二被捕时所穿的同一件军用迷彩服出庭。检察官称，当时一名国会警察看到他携带的猎枪，命令他放下武器并趴在地上。
对卡马乔的刑事指控未明确其直接意图，但文件称，当被国会警察询问时，他表示“自己只是去那里与一名国会议员交谈”。
检察官称，法庭文件中的图像显示，卡马乔双手持猎枪冲向国会大厦，随后被国会警察拦截。
美国国会警察表示，在遇到卡马乔之前，他并未出现在警方的监控雷达中。
据国会警察称，除了他身上明显穿着的防弹衣外，在他驾驶并停放在附近的汽车中还发现了防毒面具和凯夫拉头盔。此外，在距离汽车40英尺远、卡马乔前往国会大厦的路径上，还发现了一把固定刀刃的刀。
这名18岁男子在法庭上表示，他将进入大学二年级学习。卡马乔留着窄胡须，在听证会上坐姿僵硬，联邦法官告知其权利时他点头表示同意，当被问及是否理解时回答“好的”和“是的，法官大人”。

An 18-year-old who charged the US Capitol with a loaded shotgun while wearing a tactical vest was seen on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, US Capitol Police said.

The 18-year-old accused of running up to the US Capitol with a loaded shotgun on Tuesday told officers he wanted to talk to a member of Congress, according to the criminal complaint filed against him.
The man from Georgia, Carter Camacho, made his initial appearance in federal court Wednesday on a charge of unlawfully possessing a firearm on US Capitol grounds. Camacho did not enter a plea and will remain behind bars while awaiting a detention hearing in early March.
The defendant appeared in court wearing the same military fatigues he was arrested in on Tuesday, when prosecutors say a Capitol Police officer saw the shotgun he was carrying and ordered him to drop the weapon and get down on the ground.
The criminal complaint against Camacho does not shed light on his direct intentions but says that when asked by Capitol Police, he said “he was just there to talk to a Member of Congress.”
Prosecutors say images included in the court documents show Camacho running up to the Capitol with the shotgun in both hands before being stopped by Capitol Police.

According to the complaint, as Camacho approached the Capitol, an officer asked him what he was carrying. Camacho held up the shotgun in his right hand. He was then ordered to lie on the ground and “immediately complied,” the complaint says.
“The shotgun was loaded with seven rounds in the tube and one in the chamber,” the complaint states, noting that “the safety was off” and “an additional 17 rounds of ammunition were located in a carrier attached to the stock of the shotgun.”
Camacho was not on Capitol Police’s radar before they encountered him on the steps of the Capitol, the law enforcement agency said.
In addition to the apparent body armor he was wearing, a gas mask and Kevlar helmet were found in the car he drove and parked nearby, according to Capitol Police. A fixed-blade knife was also located 40 feet from the car and in the path Camacho took to the Capitol, they said.
The 18-year-old said in court that he will be in his second semester in college. Sporting a narrow beard, Camacho sat rigid during the hearing, nodding along as the federal judge informed him of his rights, answering “OK” and “yes, your honor” when asked if he understood.
