It's being called a routine training exercise.
But the sight of helicopters landing on the U.S. Capitol grounds Monday -- almost five months to the day afterบทความสล็อตออนไลน์ the Jan. 6 assault -- was concerning enough that officials had told nearby residents beforehand, "Please do not be alarmed."
And it comes amid a congressional debate over how to respond to a similar attack.
Working alongside local partners, the U.S. Capitol Police exercise early Monday morning included emergency vehicles coming close to the Capitol and two helicopters flying low across the Washington skyline and then silhouetted against the Capitol dome.
Although Capitol Police regularly train 17 miles away from the Capitol in Cheltenham, Maryland, it's is the first time they've had a full-scale training in years.
The exercise began with K-9 officers patrolling the grounds. Minutes later ambulances filed in, followed by specialized police, emergency, fire and bomb squad units. Several actors were also included.
Several Capitol Police officers told ABC News they'd never seen a similar training on the Capitol grounds. Another long-time Capitol staffer said the last time he'd seen a similar training was shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks.
The first of two helicopters arrived at the Capitol at 7:34 a.m. and was piloted by the Fairfax Police Department.
Shortly after, the second helicopter landed at 7:44 a.m. and was manned by U.S. Park Police. After loading one passenger, the helicopter took off.作者: christian398 時間: 2021-6-11 15:18
