you're hear from chief yoganan pittman with the capitol hill police and chief konte with m p. d. >> good afternoon everyone. i'm acting chief for the united states capitol police. it's with a heavy heart that i come here this afternoon to shed some light on the incident that occurred at the united states capitol. at kplks 1:02 hours this afternoon, a suspect entered what we refer to as the north barricade of the capitol. the suspect rammed his car into two of our officers and then hit the north barricade barrier. at such time the suspect exited the vehicle with a knife in hand. our officers then engaged that suspect. he did not respond to verbal commands. the suspect did start lunging toward u.s. capitol police officers, at which time u.s. capitol police officers fired s upon the suspect. at this time the suspect has been pronounced deceased. two u.s. capitol police officers were transported to two different hospitals. and it is with a very, very heavy heart that i announce one of our officers has succumbed to his injuries. we are not able to release any information, names, age

it went down louisiana avenue which is very close here on capitol hill and union station, if you know the geography, turned into a roadway very close to this, drew weapons on u.s. capitol police officers, and they shot and killed suspects there. i mentioned 2013, that was significant. and then this did not involve a vehicle, but you had a suspect who had actually been arrested a few months before, you know, raising a ruckus in the house chamber. he was in to watch the house session and was arrested for disrupting congress, tried to come in -- it was around this time of year, late march, i think, in 206, and tryses to come into the capitol visitors' center and had a fake bret that. when he went through security, they discovered this, and they shot him right there the in the capitol visitors' center. so again, we've had a number of these incidents over the years. and, again, things that don't even involve cars. charles: right. >> you had the puerto rican nationalist, you had a bomb that went off in the early 1980s just outside the senate chamber back in the early 980s. charles: i, you k

cnn's lauren fox is on capitol hill. lauren, this is -- this is the second time since january 6th that the spouts has asked for the flags at the capitol to be place the at half staff, to be lowered to half staff to honor a fallen capitol police officer. she's now also reacting to this incident with her -- with her word. tell us more. >> reporter: well, that's right. the house speaker giving out this statement just a few minutes ago, and i want to read it. it is really offering thoughts, prayers and -- and acknowledgement of what has occurred today at the u.s. capitol. she says, quote, today america's heart has been broken by the tragic and heroic dealt of one of our own capitol police heroes, officer william evans. he is a martyr for our democracy. she goes on to say in this statement that congress is prepared and ready to begin an investigation into what she calls a heinous attack, and i think that that is really important here because, you know, there's what occurred today and then there's the repercussions for what the

capitol insurrection. how is this resonating with folks? how are people holding up there on the hill? >> reporter: this is a scene that has become too familiar. only six americans have lied in honor under the rotunda, two of them capitol police officers this year. in this case, the death of officer evans happened when the capitol hill community was scattered across the country. both the house and senate were in recess on the day that he was killed. people didn't experience the same collective trauma here in place on that day. and they're processing this, i think, differently, but now you'll have this opportunity for collective mourning here, as folks are now back "today." we just saw the president's motorcade arrive. he's working his way up into the rotunda. i think the remarks from him will be very important as someone who would have been here as a senator at the same time that officer evans was serving here in his 18-year career. and also that language of grief that he speaks so fluently i think will be important. and you mentioned the capitol police officers who have been through so

so when the committee was set up i knew the ropes on capitol hill. i knew the procedures. i knew what you needed to do. just a simple thing like getting office space when you have a committee. that's got over 100 staff members that we put together in in almost a month months time you imagine putting a staff of 100 people together and just a short time is as a month. well the way the watergate committee was set up. it was the only committee in the congress in the senate that was looking into watergate and senator mike mansfield of montana knew that you couldn't have fragments here in fragments there. so he put all the authority in the senate watergate committee. he made senator irvin the chair and senator baker of tennessee the co-chair. and that is one of the marvelous things about watergate the two of them worked together in the beginning. they said to one another we're going to make this thing work. we will not disagree about things in public and they didn't. no hearing since watergate has ever succeeded like watergate did because you didn't have two compatible people th

we're coming on the air with that breaking news we are continuing to cover from capitol hill. it is tragic news. the capitol complex remaining on lockdown after someone crashed a vehicle into officers at a barrier on the north side of the capitol. the suspect jumped out of his vehicle with a knife and was shot by police. just moments ago, u.s. capitol police confirmed the suspect died at the hospital and the chief made another somber announcement. one officer has died. this incident comes, of course, about three months, just shy of three months after the january 6th riot in which hundreds of people forced their way into the capitol to try to stop congress from counting the electoral college ballots and affirming joe biden's election. what happened today, we don't have any motive. joining us now, tom winter, nbc news investigations correspondent and nbc news correspondent leigh ann caldwell is on capitol hill for us. tom, i think the acting police chief said it so poignantly today when she said this has been an extremely difficult time for capitol police. what do we know? what a

neil: we are still following news of a lockdown on capitol hill that was put in place in the last 20 w, so we don't believe congressman or senators are actually in the building. the capitol grounds include libraries of congress, other stuff we associate with the capital ground, not union station, a key transportation hub. that's about a block away from the capital. we know there were reports of stretchers seen outside the capital , a car that may have been involved outside the capitol grounds. not much more than that. i think we have hillary vaughn available for an update or no? but it's good to darin a nypd lieutenant. i should express hillary is in the capital right now and she is sharing a lot of this information with us via text. darren, good to have you so much we don't know, but obviously this is the same capital posted january 6 writes everything else that ensued. there's a small force of a little more than 2000 guardsman and women working and coordinating with dc police, capitol police, what do you make of what you are hearing? >> i could it's troubling when we consider the na

those are big thoroughfares of capitol hill. they carry lots of traffic most days. they have been opened. there are still hundreds of national guard troops stationed at and around the capitol, but it's been dramatically decreased in the last couple weeks as we've gotten back to more normal up here on capitol hill. i will say, katy, and this was just said, i think, by pete, the building is empty today. the house is out, the senate is out. it's a very slow day on capitol hill, so, you know, the frenzy wasn't -- obviously this is not near as dramatic of an incident as january 6th, but there wasn't as much frenzy. still, they take these barriers seriously, and those barriers only go down when it's a member of the senate or house leadership or just authorized vehicles are the only ones that are allowed to go through there. so i think it's fair to say that capitol police officers, if you see a car approaching that, and they don't stop, you're automatically very alarmed and you're on high alert. >> jake, what about the helicopter that landed on the capitol grounds? >> repor

there that is where the suspect drove in around 102 pm heading and striking 2 police officers capitol hill police officers and then crashed into a barricade after that the suspect exited his car and he was waving around a knife where another capitol police officer shot the suspect from that point after the 3 you had the 2 officers were taken by ambulance along with the suspect taken to the hospital as well. where that was where one officer was pronounced dead around 1 30 pm as well as the suspect around 1 30 pm as well now you know and this is the 5th officer in the capitol police department that has been killed in the line of duty and it's 200 year history we just had another capitol hill police officer who was killed during the january 6th insert rection who succumbed to his injuries to officer brian sickness who actually was adam lie in state here at the capitol so depending upon you know what happens after it after today's events we're not sure we're still learning even asked to who this officer is right now they're working on notifying his next of kin before releasing his name as far

>> reporter: liz, it was quite the ebb scene here on capitol hill as we saw capitol police officer layinge ground while other capitol police officers tried to give him medical care until he could be put on a stretcher and loaded into an ambulance. but we also saw the suspect being wheeled away on a stretcher into an ambulance as well while he was bleeding profusely. and in response to this attack, the president has now to ordered flags at the white house to be lowered to half-mast in honor of the two u.s. capitol police officers that were attacked this afternoon at the capitol. and this evening we also are getting new information about the identity of the man who was behind this attack. he ran over those two capitol police officers with his car, he charged at them with a large knife. one of those officers is now dead, the other still in the hospital fighting for his life. police say they believe this man was a lone wolf. he was a virginia resident. he was just 25 years old, and he is now dead after police fired shots at him to stop the attack. an investigation is underway, and capitol pol

there have been numerous attempts on capitol hill to repeal the law. you might remember when president donald trump was first in office, he pushed an effort to repeal and a senator john mccain came in at the last minute, sick with cancer, and give it the big thumbs down, and that was it. republicans have tried to repeal it and it has to survived and grown in popularity. the public, despite problems with the aca, and there are problems, the public is largely supportive of it now. host: what are the problems? guest: health care is still very expensive, even with the aca. the law has helped to provide insurance for some 23 million people that did not have it before, but it's still very expensive to purchase insurance on the open market. and so that is a problem that really needs to be fixed. we have seen health care costs go up dramatically in this country and to the aca has not been able to hold down costs, both for health care for prescription drugs. host: what is happening with subsidies today and will that help? guest: it will help. the $1.9 trillion
