WASHINGTON (CNN) -- An intruder bolted through a security checkpoint Thursday afternoon at the House Cannon Office Building after an X-ray machine showed what looked like a revolver in a knapsack, two congressmen said.

The security breach prompted police to begin evacuating the building and systematically searching each office for the intruder, who was described as a about 20 years old, the congressmen said.

It was unclear whether the person actually had a gun.

more from the article...

"The possible weapon was a .38. We do believe that it is a revolver, " Capitol police spokeswoman Jessica Gissubel said.

Authorities are looking for a white man described as 5 feet 3 and 140 pounds, she said. He was wearing a black suit and white shirt and carried a black and grey backpack.

The woman was wearing khaki pants, a pink shirt and sunglasses atop her head, Gissubel said. She is described as 5 feet 5 with long brown hair extending past her shoulders.

"The Capitol police have put the building on lockdown. We are going to be letting people exit the building, as long as they agree to an administrative search," Gissubel said.

Seems to be a young man with a black/brown knapsack, and possibly a woman as well.

I wouldn't be too upset

They might be trying to expose that they could get into the building with a weapon or something that looks like a weapon. Copy-cat of the boxcutter guy. That would mean harsher legal consequences for the original at least.

Sounds like an episode of "24"...of course, the big difference is that this is the real world and not scripted television.

They'll catch this person (or people) with the quickness.

They said he got into the building around 1:11 EST.

Report on Foxnews: it was a toy gun

Seriously?

2 suspects are in custody

CAMILLE4U said:

yep


may have been a dry run to test preparation

conch5184 said:

One staffer told Fox News that a policeman told him that they have "orders to take the gunman down" if necessary.

we wont be going in THAT halloween costume

Stupid shit.

The people who are prosecuting the boxcutter guy will have a lot of fun with this, saying that he inspired this incident.

You don't have to read this thread if you think it's dumb

Okay, none of the news websites have confirmed it was a toy gun or not yet.
