BREAKING: U.S. Capitol police arrested 18-year-old Carter Camacho from Smyrna on Tuesday afternoon after he reportedly charged toward the Capitol Complex with a loaded shotgun.
"Our officers arrested a man who was running toward the U.S. Capitol with a loaded shotgun this afternoon.
The arrest happened on the Lower West Terrace. The suspect also had multiple rounds of ammunition and a tactical style vest. United States Capitol Police (USCP) officers found the suspect’s SUV in front of the U.S. Botanic Garden on Maryland Avenue, SW. A gas mask and helmet were spotted inside the vehicle. Thanks to the quick actions of the officers, no one was hurt.
“Just last summer, we held an active threat exercise on the West Front of the U.S. Capitol – in the very location where today’s officers stopped the suspect,” said U.S. Capitol Police Chief Michael Sullivan. “These now routine exercises are planned monthly and in different areas of the Capitol Complex to keep our officers ready for potential threats just like this.”
The suspect, 18-year-old Carter Camacho of Smyrna, GA, was arrested for Unlawful Activities, Carrying a Rifle without a License, Unregistered Firearm, and Unregistered Ammunition. The USCP’s Threat Assessment Section is investigating to determine the suspect’s motive. He was not on file with the USCP."

DRONE LOCATES STOLEN CAR
When a stolen vehicle was spotted in the downtown area, the Drone as First Responder (DFR) unit launched immediately to provide aerial support.
On Jan. 31, 2026, the suspect vehicle began driving recklessly, cutting off motorists and pedestrians, traveling the wrong direction on roadways, and running multiple red lights — creating significant danger to the public. From above, the DFR unit maintained continuous visual contact and provided real-time location updates to responding officers.
The drone’s overhead perspective allowed patrol units to position strategically while minimizing risk to the community. Our air unit continued following the vehicle, providing officers awareness without escalating the danger on the ground.
The suspect eventually abandoned the vehicle in a residential neighborhood and fled into a nearby residence. The DFR unit, working in coordination with the air unit, provided critical aerial overwatch as K9 and patrol officers approached and made entry.
The suspect was safely apprehended. He's been booked for several felony charges.
This incident highlights the growing impact of the DFR program — enhancing situational awareness, reducing risk to officers and the public, and increasing the likelihood of safe, successful apprehensions.
