The suspect shot by Capitol Police has been identified as Larry Russell Dawson, two law enforcement sources say.
Dawson was also arrested in October after an outburst in the House chamber. Court documents from that incident describe him as a 66-year-old from Tennessee. According to the documents, Dawson "loudly stated to Congress he was a 'prophet of God.' "
U.S. Capitol Police Chief Matthew Verderosa, without naming the suspect in today’s incident, said “there is no reason to believe this is anything more than a criminal act."
