A man who smelled like gasoline and had a torch lighter, flare gun and papers he intended to deliver to Congress was arrested Tuesday at the Capitol Visitor Center, authorities said.
The man, who has not been publicly identified, was arrested about 12:30 p.m. as he tried to enter the building through a screening process, police said. Two public safety officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity to describe an ongoing investigation, said the man is believed to be in his 20s and from Michigan. One of the officials said he had documents in his possession and had posted videos indicating an interest in the Israel-Gaza war.
