This evocative photo is of the Capitol Hill Police reacting to an incident with a shooter where a dozen shots were fired. The law enforcement officer was positioned to protect one of the chambers of Congress.
The House and the Senate were both in session. Both legislative bodies went into lock-down, with the lawmakers being barricaded in their respective chambers and staffers told to shelter in place for forty five minutes.
