"A source tells CNN a suspicious vehicle raised concerns among police and that a bomb squad was assessing the situation," Berman reported.
"This afternoon our officers noticed the van was illegally parked. Then a K-9 alerted the officers, which prompted the search. Two men and a woman were detained," Capitol Police reported. "One of the men told us he had guns in the van. The officers found three guns-- two handguns and a shotgun. Weapons are prohibited on Capitol Grounds."
