A couple of peculiar things have just happened at the US Capitol.
In a matter of a few minutes, a car smashed into one of the barriers, causing two people to be carried out on stretchers.
Then Jake Sherman posted a video of a helicopter landing on the east side of the Capitol, something he said he’s “never” seen before.
