CNN: Capitol Police ask for more law enforcement for assistance, including federal authorities
From CNN's Pamela Brown
The US Capitol Police is asking for additional law enforcement for assistance, including federal authorities, per a source familiar.
The source said there are several suspicious devices outside the Capitol Building.
A separate law enforcement source says the DC Metropolitan Police Department has sent more resources to assist the Capitol Police, including CDU platoons or Civil Disturbance Units.
