WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. Capitol Police arrested a man carrying a shotgun outside the Capitol building Friday.
The suspect has been identified as 38-year-old Michael Gorbey from the west Virginia area, who reportedly has a criminal history and is known to Secret Service.
Police spokeswoman Sgt. Kimberly Schneider says no one was injured in the incident.
An officer first spotted Gorber near Union Station -- about two blocks from the Capitol.
