U.S. CAPITOL ATTACK BREAKING: Armed Gunman Carter Rushes U.S. Capitol | Police Clash With Attacker

A major security scare unfolded outside the United States Capitol after an 18-year-old armed suspect charged toward the building wearing tactical gear and carrying a loaded shotgun. Authorities identified the suspect as Carter Camacho of Smyrna, Georgia.

According to the United States Capitol Police, officers intercepted the suspect before he could reach the building, ordering him to drop his weapon. He complied and was taken into custody without shots being fired.

Police say Camacho acted alone. A loaded shotgun, ammunition, and tactical equipment — including a Kevlar helmet and gas mask — were recovered. His SUV was found parked near the United States Botanic Garden, just steps from the Capitol complex.

Authorities are now investigating the motive behind the alarming incident, which briefly triggered a heavy law enforcement response and traffic lockdown in the area. Officials stress that swift police action may have prevented a potentially deadly situation at the heart of American democracy.
