The suspect, who is now deceased has now also been identified:
I only had seconds to look at Noah Green's Facebook page before it was deleted. He was living in Norfolk, Va.
From what I saw, many of his posts were of a religious (Islamic) nature. He appeared to be a deeply devout follower of the Nation of Islam & went by the name, "Noah X."

Now try to blame this on Trump. The only one’s to blame are the DEMOASS’S especially Biden, Piglosi, Harris and Shitmer.
Amen!!
It’s obviously Trump’s fault. Trump disrespected Muslims by supporting police. Of course a Muslim man was triggered to retaliate against the police and a Capitol half-filled with Trump supporters. Who wouldn’t be? Remember the Prime Directive: ORANGE MAN BAD!!!
What is globalist puppet $oro$ and his globalist puppet, libby snow flake sheep up to now . . . . .
OK, no one is at the Capitol today so what genius decided this was the day to attack? Just proves that only dumb people resort to violence to solve their problems.
How much you want to bet this time it will be a semi automatic gun that was used, to keep the gun confiscating laws pushing through.
I’ll bet it was also a democrat
Thats why he picked a day when there was few people there to shoot at them. All planned crap.
For sure
Yes but it does give an excuse to keep the fence around the capital.
The ultimate reward in Islam is to die as a martyr while killing infidels. A Muslim terrorist needs no more a goal than that, and the odds are irrlevant.
If it attacks like a Muslim terrorist, kills like a Muslim terrorist, and dies like a Muslim terrorist and the FBI says its not a terrorist…then you know …it’s a terrorists.
