A man has driven his car into a barricade near the U.S. Capitol building, before firing gunshots into the air and then fatally shooting himself

The incident happened just before 4am local time, and no one else was injured during the attack.

Police say the individual fired several gunshots into the air near along East Capitol Street and as authorities moved in, he turned the gun on himself.

Concerns are growing for law enforcement officials, who are facing an increasing number of threats following the FBI’s raid of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home.

“Nobody else was hurt,” the spokesperson said. “At this time, it does not appear the man was targeting any members of Congress, who are on recess, and it does not appear officers fired their weapons.”

Capitol police investigators are looking into the man’s background and the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the death.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
