A "tactical vest" could just be load bearing equipment and not body armor.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Had a shotgun, too, but I suspect both are just fashion statements.

Why was he "intercepted" and not shot by the Capitol Police?

Disturbing Details Emerge After Gunman’s Arrest At U.S. Capitol

Published 16 hours ago

on February 17, 2026

By Cullen McCue

The U.S. Capitol Police on Tuesday arrested an 18-year-old man who was carrying a loaded shotgun and running toward the Capitol building.

According to police reports, officers observed the individual approaching the Capitol while armed. They challenged him to drop his weapon, and he complied without resistance, at which point he was taken into custody. The suspect was wearing a tactical vest and had multiple rounds of ammunition on his person, police said.

U.S. Capitol Police Chief Thomas Sullivan confirmed the additional details, stating, “the man who was arrested was running toward the Capitol with a shot gun. He was wearing a tactical vest and had additional rounds of ammo on him.”

The incident occurred just after noon at the West Front of the U.S. Capitol, prompting a temporary closure of nearby streets and a heightened security response. Authorities confirmed there was no ongoing threat following the arrest, and Congress was not in session at the time.

So they arrest the armed and dangerous without incident, but shoot to death the unarmed and nonthreatening. Got it.  :pondering:
