According to the U.S. law enforcement, a Delaware man crashed his car into a barricade near the United States Capitol on August 14 and then started firing shots in the air before killing himself. Police said the man didn’t appear to be targeting any US Congressional member. The incident took place around 0800 GMT (04:00 AM local time) at major East Capitol St. NE and 2nd St. Southeast in Washington D.C.
The United States Capitol Police (USCP) said that while the man was leaving the crashed car, it burst into flames. The Authorities identified the man as 29-years-old Richard A. York III from a small Mid-Atlantic U.S. state of Delaware. And the security officials still didn’t understand why York had taken his car to the US Capitol.
According to law enforcement, the Delaware man, after crashing his car, fired gunshots in the air along East Capitol Street, a major street that divides Washington’s northeast and southeast quadrants. As security forces responded, the 29-year-old killed himself in an apparent suicide. Fortunately, everyone remained safe.
The Washington Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) is investigating the death of Richard A. York III, which so far didn’t provide any information about his motives. Tom Manger, the US Capitol Police Chief, said that the initial investigation for the man reveals that the 29-year-old had a criminal history in the past years. However, his motivation remained uncertain, and he’d no links to the United States Capitol Complex.
