From WUSA, news that U.S. Capitol Police have arrested a man walking down 1st St NE with a tactical vest, a loaded shotgun, a tactical bow and arrow and a samurai sword in a hidden case behind his back.

The story is still emerging, but police apparently also found his car, a Chevy with Utah plates, and bomb sniffing dogs alerted positive for explosives in the vehicle. There were also more weapons in the car.

No word yet on where the armed man may have been heading. WUSA reports the area has been cordoned off during the investigation.

NBC4 says the area that’s been blocked off is around Columbus Circle, including parts of Louisiana Avenue, D Street and First Street.

WJLA says the man was “apparently headed to the Supreme Court building.” The U.S. Supreme Court docket indicates the Court wasn’t hearing any arguments today.
