the national guardsmen we had the that will be the us capitol police and the washington metropolitan the law enforcement agencies that would respond to this. i also imagine we have not seen any reporting of that by the fbi would be called to a myspace to assess what happened and they would be scrambling to get the air as quickly as possible and figure out exactly what happened and that's quite concerning that is happening so close to where some of america's most powerful people work. and many high—ranking officials of government all concentrated in this one complex. government all concentrated in this one complem— one complex. there is a police presence _ one complex. there is a police presence all — one complex. there is a police presence all along _ one complex. there is a police presence all along and - one complex. there is a police presence all along and they i one complex. there is a police i presence all along and they think it's independence avenue. there is also talk about the north barricade of capital complex. give us the rest at home who have not been to washington but wh

this capitol place however there were still one layer of fencing and there was still a few national guardsmenarding displays progress stemming from the advance of january progress stemming from the advance ofjanuary six. progress stemming from the advance of january six. there's always some amount of us capitol police in this area as well and this is why this is an incident that has raised concern based on all the reporting from january six about the possibility of this being a target for some extremists. hearing that the whole area is in knockdown, an important area, lots of people work there lawmakers, people come —— can't come in and out of that area now can they? in and out of that area now can the ? , , ., , ., in and out of that area now can the ? , , ., , . ~ they? this is our understanding. we have not seen _ they? this is our understanding. we have not seen the _ they? this is our understanding. we have not seen the us _ they? this is our understanding. we have not seen the us capital - they? this is our understanding. we have not seen the us capital on - have not seen the us capital

the incident happened around one or 2 pm suspect was then shot around $115.00 and then the national guardsmen were actually deployed to come back out into the streets of washington d.c. moments after that all happened so i want to take you a look at a look at the scene behind me here where you're seeing all of those police vehicles right into that area is a driveway where many senators you'll see the building on the left that's the senate building many of these senators walking back and forth to and from that building just across where you see those police officers on the right there is a driveway there where again many of these senators their cars or workers into the work at the capitol drive in what happened was at one o 2 pm the suspect drove his car through that driveway hitting 2 police officers and then smashed into a barricade much like the barricades that you're seeing that we're seeing right here in front of these national troops however the suspect coming down the street those barricades were not up at the time now since this incident they have been the barricades have now been erec

focusing on law enforcement separation for unrest after the chauvin verdict noting that some 3000 national guardsmen are activated in minnesota, in minneapolis. the washington times focusing on the dc response as well. officials said monday they requested national guard assistance following the outcome of the chauvin trial. the trial restricted officers and put them all in preparation possible unrest in the wake of the verdict that's from the washington times . scylla newburgh new york, using derek chauvin is guilty . >> caller: i do say that mister chauvin is guilty and for the caller from virginia, nobody is going after police officers. we're going after bad police officers. when the crowd went after those police officers, that was wrong . and they should have been, okay? they should be prosecuted to the extent of the law. this officer sat on this man for nine minutes 29 seconds not fighting. a lot of people struggle with drug abuse in this country. a lot of white people. they do not get killed when a police officer is called. he should never havestayed on. he wasn't worried about crowd because he

what are we doing, we have a gerst and meaning this is a standing troop order of 2000 plus national guardsmensure safety. fortunately it's good friday so as you mentioned earlier congress is not in session so we have a skeleton crew so to speak in the capital so it begs the question was a coordinated attack against the capital or more of an operation leading to a car accident as a result. neil: you know lockdown, explain what authority tried to keep in place and how does a lockdown work, what are people inside the facilities told to do? >> when you have a lockdown you have basically no one can enter or exit and you can either sheltering place or evacuate, but based on a lockdown, evacuation is not in place. this is a continuous plan in place that has been reaffirmed in the wake of what happened back in january, in connection with the assault on the capital, so we have people inside basically sheltering in place and they are allowing law enforcement and the national guardsmen to move forth towards the safety of the people in the complex. it's an arduous task because it's a massive complex. it

street corner on each corner of that block there was a national guard armored vehicle with national guardsmen standing nearby with their assault rifles standing in a line and this was just in a commercial district this was it near the courthouse and so certainly there's a very different atmosphere here now even than we've seen earlier in the trial that clearly they're anticipating the possibility of civil unrest in the wake of an acquittal ok thank you so much for speaking to us from minneapolis mark osler let's stay with this and bring in our correspondent john hendren and john hendren he's joining us from just outside the courthouse so so john we are expecting closing arguments by both the prosecution and the defense just tell us how this is all going to play out. well there are no limits for how long closing arguments can go for each side but most lawyers suggest about 60 to 90 minutes is optimal and typical in a case like this there are limits to how long you can hold the attention of 12 jurors and you want to make salient points that they can remember so 60 to 90 minutes is kind of a sta

so you know last hour you saw there was a number of national guardsmen that were deployed immediately after this incident happened now you can see behind me many of those guardsmen have been brought back into the capitol now i'm going to walk you through the events as far as the time and everything that went down so around 1 pm you'll see behind me here to the left of the capitol i'm sorry out to the left of the capitol building there's a driveway in 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

the city of minneapolis already on edge and cnn learning today that the two minnesota national guardsmen were injured in a drive-by shooting early this morning. cnn's sara sidner is in minneapolis for us this morning. what are you learning about national guard, were they targeted, and what happened? >> don't know if they were targeted but clearly they're in their uniforms standing there, here in minneapolis. we know that the two of them, both had minor injuries from the glass that was -- that was hit, and, you know, at this point in time, if nothing else, it ratchets up the tension that is already here in the city. the first tension was, of course, as this trial is going on, of the man accused of killing george floyd, the former officer derek chauvin and then on top of that you had the shooting and killing of daunte wright by a police officer, who has now been fired and charged and booked. she is now out on bail. the tension here cannot be higher, i mean, it just can't and we should state that. and then you have this shooting where there are national guard who are here, they are here bec

a lot of protestors there, and the right side of the screen, we see police, and national guardsmen defending what has been set up, effectively, as perimeter around the police station in brooklyn center, minnesota. it's a suburb of minneapolis. it's about ten miles from the courthouse where the derek chauvin trial is happening for the last two weeks. he is responsible for the death of george floyd, who died under a police officer's knee in minneapolis. it's hard to extricate the two story lines. george floyd and daunte wright. not just because of the geography but the grief and anger over their deaths, the two black men dying at the ends of police officers in the minneapolis area. this appears to be a growing crowd. we have reporters on the scene watching this. there were a few dozen arrests last night, and a few stores that were looted, although, it was not described as large scale looting. but we are expecting this to proceed over the course of the evening, and then it's an open question as to what will happen when the curfew is instituted. they need a decision to push the curfew back. the

overnight a couple of minnesota national guardsmen were injured when someone took some pot shots at them. as a group of guardsman's who were with a simply standing sentry at one of the neighborhoods apparently there are ineffable white suv. the injuries received from the guardsmen were shattered glass there were no serious injuries per here where i am now brooklyn center there were demonstrations last night. no major incidents no friction with police know what mass arrest. congresswoman maxine waters inject yourself advocating george floyd policing act called republicans races totally protesters to stay in the street and get more confrontational. republicans reacted. >> her talking points on encouraging people to lash out at others is certainly not a message of unity if that's what they are about. >> no protesters have been gathering across the nation. one place dimension sacramento they are gathering regard the dante right case here in the case in chicago. police found bags of rocks at the scene vandalism for police officers were hospitalized after their hit was some kind of chemical yo
