On November 6, Capitol Police arrested two men who crashed into a vehicle barricade near the Senate office buildings and USCP headquarters and fled on foot. They recovered a Glock from the car and another from a nearby flowerbed. The USCP has confiscated over 30 guns this year. On November 7, reports emerged of a man with an AR-15 near the US Capitol who was taken into custody. The man was found on the Senate side of Capitol Hill and was arrested by Capitol Police. The motive for the incident remains unclear. The USCP Chief Manger stated that the man will be charged with having a firearm on Capitol grounds, pending an investigation into the legality and registration of the gun. The incident led to a brief lockdown of parts of the Capitol complex. Law enforcement confirmed that there was no ongoing threat to the Capitol. The man was later identified as a 21-year-old from Atlanta. On November 9, it was reported that the armed man arrested near the US Capitol was identified as a sex offender from Atlanta.
