I haven't gone down to the Capitol, but @lindsemcpherson is on the ground, documenting rapid response:
@JakeSherman saw a Park Police helicopter land, apparently to transport injured party

One of the @CapitolPolice officers was killed, per USCP acting chief.
The attacker was fatally shot. washingtonpost.com/local/public-s…
Holding him & his family in the light, & sending prayers to everyone in the USCP. Been thanking them on my runs. Doesn't feel like remotely enough.

RIP, Officer William Evans.
He was an 18-year veteran of the elite @CapitolPolice First Responder unit, created after a bomb exploded outside of the Senate chamber in 1983: rollcall.com/2013/09/20/cap…
@SpeakerPelosi called him a “martyr for our democracy”:
