Man Who Took Capitol Tour With Gun In His Possession Was Arrested

1 week ago Police say a man who entered the U.S. Capitol with a handgun in his possession and took a tour of the building has been arrested and faces weapons charges. The 27-year-old Massachusetts man was arrested Tuesday after Capitol police officers found him leaving the Library of Congress. Police say officers found a handgun concealed in his waistband. Nobody was hurt. The Capitol police say they've found no evidence the man intended to cause any harm. Police said Thursday that an officer who allowed the man into the Capitol after searching him has been suspended pending a department investigation. House lawmakers whose committee oversees the Capitol police say they're “severely disappointed in the security failure.”
