the white house was brave lit put on lockdown but we can confirm the lockdown has been lifted. further, fox is told the situation is under control, there is no longer a threat of any kind. we're told there was a single shooter who was shot by law enforcement. we do not have word on the perpetrators status other than he is in custody. chad pergram reporting it appears they have taken him to a anybody hospital. the police officer who was shot is not seriously injured. witnesses tell us, to the we knock directly confirm -- a number of shots were fired. the vague official reporting from law enforcement was that shots were fired, and now witnesses telling us that one -- one witness in particular saying it sounded like a whole clip went off, and that's a quote. fox is told the fbi is responding to to capitol visitor center, standard operating procedure, there does not teen be any threat to any other part of the city. what you're seeing is a routine, we better make sure, because this is the capitol, and what chad pergram was referring to just a moment ago, appears to me to be a develo

the white house also on lockdown. the situation is apparently contained to the visitor center, but no further information is available at this point. this is being reported by the associated press. we are also hearing that police have been wounded but not seriously. , of course, bring you the latest on this unfolding situation as we get it. for now, let's move to the .akistani city of lahore a candlelight vigil has been held there to honor the victims of the deadly bombing on easter sunday. the first funerals taking place today. the suicide attack on a public park killed at least 70 people. that figure includes at least 29 children. a faction of the pakistani taliban and has claimed responsibility. authorities also said monday that they were planning a on the project province. our correspondent in afghan pakistan told us who is more likely to be targeted. reporter: the pakistani taliban and has claimed responsibility for this attack. they might have local militants who are facilitators, but as of only information we h

what next as far as lockdown?ey still going through building to building to building within the labyrinth on capitol hill? >> yes, they'll search the area inside and outside the building. also the question will be what's the condition of the shooting suspect? that person is not severely injured and is able to talk to investigators and, you know, if in a few minutes they're able to determine that he or she acted alone and there's no other people involved in this plot and once they've neutralized that shooter, there's no one else to be worried about. think the lockdown will end pretty quickly. the other thing is they will worry about is there's a copycat, somebody sitting out there and heard the story that somebody fired shots at the visitors center and thought what a great idea. i'm going to do that. so they have to worry about the other nut cases that live in the d.c. area that may respond in person and decide to do something on their own. but once they figure out that's probably not going to happen and the indivi

the white house is in lockdown, congress is in lockdown. we should point out that congress is in recess right now. lawmakers are all back in their own districts meeting with their constituents, so it is rather quieter than normal in the area. again, we had the easter egg roll this morning on the white house lawn which is the annual event for the kids to come out for that. but thankfully, this is happening way after that. but it appears, as we have been told, that the situation is now under control. but as you can imagine, the response is fast, it's quick, everything is locked down. warnings go out immediately, and that's what we saw here. it appears to be contained to that area at the north screening area of the capitol building. let's bring back in rod wheeler who gave us some great information earlier. rod, what are you hearing? >> the only thing i can add right now from what i'm hearing from my sources is about 2:00 this afternoon there was a tour boat right along the potomac basin which runs on the back side of the capitol building, and

brussels seems to be in lockdown this morning.belgian ambassador to the u.k., who is on the phone now. ambassador, thank you for joining us. why are terrorists drawn to belgium so much? >> if we knew the answer to that, the problem would be in part solved. you have a conflict in the middle east, let's not forget, that is the main issue. you have a conflict in the middle east which has been able to draw upon youth in belgium and elsewhere. and the reasons are many fold. you would need a sociology out why everyone of these young persons, men and women going there, have their different reasons to do so. but we have a fact and we have out of belgium a large group of young people going to fight in syria. some come back, and this is the result. francine: you live here in london. the pound is suffering the biggest impact on the currency market. are you concerned that these terror attacks will play into the brexit debate? obviously, not, because as an ambassador of belgium, and like my authorities, we are in favor of keeping the united ki

this is a picture of a city that's essentially under a lockdown in many areas. calm, but unable to move around. and following the advice of the security services. in terms of the metro attack that we know that -- an explosion that's taken place on the metro still details emerges about that. but what struck me is the similarity similarity similarity of the possible attack and the way it's unfolded it's very similar to the 7-7 attack in london in the sense that it took place just before the morning rush hour. and there was a great deal of confusion about what had gone on initially. in the london attack it had been reported as a power surge because trains stopped, there was smoke, people didn't know what was going on. communication underground was impossible and people emerged from stations thinking there was a technical fault or a fire. only after a long time did it emerge there had been these terrible terrorist atrocities and certainly the pictures we are seeing of people being treated by paramedics on the sidewalks at the entrances to the stations does indicate
