WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Capitol building is on lockdown, with police barring people from entering.

The Senate seargant at arms issued a lockdown alert for the building and visitor center, saying police activity has been reported. Capitol office buildings are open.

Capitol police say they are searching for an individual but offered no details.

House press gallery staff says the building is on lockdown but that the House met briefly and immediately recessed. Voting scheduled to begin at 9:15 a.m. is postponed, gallery staff said.

The lockdown has been lifted. She supposedly tried to enter through Rayburn and was caught. It is being said that they put the Capitol on lockdown to make sure she didn't have accomplices.

I'm hearing something about a lockdown of a federal facility in West Virginia. They had to go to safe rooms.
