Police and emergency personnel stand near the Russell Senate Office Building in Washington, DC, on August 2, 2023, after unconfirmed reports of an active shooter in the building near the US Capitol.
Police in Washington, D.C., said Wednesday that a report of an active shooter at a Senate office building "appears to be a bad call."
U.S. Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger at a press conference later Wednesday seemed to agree.
The U.S. Capitol Police issued a shelter-in-place order before 3 p.m. for people inside Senate office buildings while its officers responded to a report of a possible active shooter.
The USCP had tweeted that its officers were searching in and around those buildings "in response to a concerning 911 call."
