A breaking story.

US Capitol Police have detained three people after responding Wednesday to a suspicious vehicle near the US Supreme Court.

After initially closing off several streets in the area, police cleared the vehicle, which they described as a “small white van,” in the early evening.

US Capitol Police have not publicly said why the people were detained but said weapons were found in the vehicle. CNN, citing a source, earlier reported that the three were arrested on charges, but police have not confirmed that information.

“One of the men told us he had guns in the van. The officers found three guns – two handguns and a shotgun. Weapons are prohibited on Capitol Grounds,” US Capitol Police said in a tweet Wednesday evening.

Police had earlier said that officers “responded to 100 block of East Capitol Street for a suspicious vehicle” and they cautioned people to “please stay away from the area.”​

I traced the one guy's name and age to an address in Georgia, but any further information was on "pay for information" websites.

I wonder when Garland and his Merrick men are going to say something about this threat to Democracy by Leftist Bidung voters.

When they've completed their investigations, in all likelihood. Or would you prefer they just make shit up, or guess about what was going on, like you just did?????
