5:01 pm
surgery, condition at this hour, we don't know, but we do know that us capitol police did have this man on their radar, as far as who he is, they'll not publicly identify him just yet. but inside the capitol complex, inside the visitors center, there were hundreds of people to go, movies going on in the theatres inside the visitor complex, and some people reporting they heard the gunshot. and we heard from witness that is there were reportedly just two shots, and that's why there would be conflict willing reports, because depending where you're standing in that visitors complex, fairly large, you may have heard them or not. but what they did hear was shear panic from those around them, at that point, it seems like by all accounts, us capitol police ability dollars extremely quickly, gathered everyone they corks managed to put everyone inside the theater rooms, and it was there where they sheltered in
5:02 pm
place for about 20 minutes, until they know that the threat at that point was neutralized and it seems at this point it was just an isolated event, a single gunman, now in custody, like you heard was transported to an area hospital, we're still learning more, the good news in all of this, there were conflicting report, initially, no officers injured, a woman said to be somewhere between 35 to 40 years old, seems to have suffered minor injuries, although we don't know at this point if she, too, was shot. so a lot of information coming down. the us capitol police chief saying that they've located the suspect vehicle on capitol complex. they're now waiting for a search warrant. but we know that those warrant can be put into effect, relatively quickly, so we're waiting for that search warrant to come wn and learn more about who this man was, and what his purpose was, this afternoon here at the us capitol. live tonight, from northeast, marina morocco, fox5 local news. we're standing by

other side of the capitol, east side, paul you have spoke win several witnesses, one of them actually in the lobby where it all seems to have begin down, paul? >> i'm on the east side of the capitol, east capitol street on the other side of the barricade, security barricades, still up here on east capitol street. and right behind me, is the actual entrance to the visitors center, would you actually walk along that plaza, and then walk down inside or basically walk down a ramp to get into the visitors center. we've spoken with three witnesses, from california, who were there today, who were putting their items on to the x-ray belts, and were wrapped, about to go through the magnetometers, when suddenly they describe a chaos, that officers came out from every which way, some with long guns, some with handguns, yelling at people, to get out of the visitors center. we were told by these witnesses that it was a very, very frightening few minutes they
5:04 pm
as they took off running they were then told to hide behind a wall at one point, and then other officers came down that ramp toward the visitor center yelling that there is an active shooter, and they needed to get out of the area. at that point, they all got up, got their things, and ran up the ramp and basically ran up into this area, right behind me know came up here, we record l number of their visitors, we had them on live earlier today. i can clear up now, some of the confusion, that we had earlier, initially, i was told by two law enforcement sources that this was a police-involved shooting and that the shooter was shot by the police by the capitol police, i put that on twitter, and then, we started seeing report coming from the associated press, that it was the opposite. and associated press, they give out information to all of the news media. and so, that's where the confusion, i believe, came from. and that
5:05 pm
government officials telling the opposite that it was a police officer who was shot. we know that one person, this person, that was known to the capitol police, was then taken by ambulance over to the washington hospital center, and that person is unknown, in an unknown condition at this point. but, basically, what we're being told is that what happened here, and the security check point that is set up at the visitors center, worked as it is designed to work. and that people that want to get into the us capitol have to come through that check point, and as this person who is known to the capitol police approached, that check point, according to the police, he drew a weapon, police officers then drew their weapons, and fired on this man, and he was shot and wounded. the woman that we understand was harmed, was not shot. that, according to a capitol police press conference, just a few minutes ago, but it is unclear exactly what condition that person is. we told -- we were told that was a wo
