Chaos on Capitol Hill: Dramatic Photos of the Scene

Keep up with this developing story with TheBlaze's ongoing post, but here's a look at some of the chaos in the nation's capital, occurring Thursday afternoon.

The incident sparked a lockdown of Congress, which was later lifted.

An official said a Capitol policeman was injured when the car driven by the suspect crashed outside the Capitol.
