Capitol police have locked down the Cannon House Office Building on Capitol Hill this afternoon and are searching for a man who may be armed and a woman who may have a connection to him, police said.
No gunshots or injuries have been reported.
A police spokeswoman said the man entered the building at about 1:30 p.m. Police believe he is carrying a .38-caliber snub-nosed weapon that has a white handle and a blue nose. It was unclear how the man got past security guards.
The suspect was described by police as a white man, 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighing about 140 pounds. According to police, he is wearing a black suit and carrying a gray backpack. At around 2 p.m., police also said the search had widened to include a white female about 5 feet 5 inches tall, between 20 and 25 years of age. The woman was described as having shoulder-length brown hair, wearing a pink shirt, khaki-colored pants and carrying both a black purse and a maroon bag. Her connection to the man was unclear.
Police said they were actively searching inside the building. Some people inside the building are being evacuated, police said.

I would love to see those 2 in costume trying to get through a US international airport. :D Then again, stupid security would probably wave them through and opt to butt search Flawd and his sister in her gym shorts.

that would be funny, my friend thought of dressing up like a terrorist sort before his flight to Cali, but then thought better of it.
