U.S. Capitol Police said Thursday they are negotiating with a man who said he had a bomb in his truck near the Library of Congress, across from the U.S. Capitol.
Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger told reporters that the man drove a black pickup onto the sidewalk in front of the library's Jefferson Building at 9:15 a.m. ET and told an officer he had a bomb. The officer said the man had what appeared to be a detonator in his hand.
Manger said negotiations with the man are ongoing.
"My negotiators are hard at work to try to have a peaceful resolution to this incident," he said.
Manger said police don't know what the man's motives are but they do have "a possible name."
