A man who claimed to have a bomb in a pickup truck near the U.S. Capitol surrendered to police after a five-hour standoff that prompted an evacuation of nearby buildings and paralyzed a section of Washington D.C.
Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger told reporters that the man, identified as Floyd Ray Roseberry, parked his vehicle on a sidewalk outside the U.S. Library of Congress at about 9:15 a.m. EDT and told an officer who approached him that he had a bomb while holding what appeared to be a detonator."He gave up and did not resist and our folks were able to take him into custody without incident," Manger said.
"The revolution's on, it's here," Roseberry said in the video, while appearing to hold a large metal cannister on his lap. "I'm ready to die for the cause." They said Roseberry would set off explosives in his yard and disrupt deer hunters by shooting his gun repeatedly.
