“We have already made significant security upgrades to include establishing a physical structure and increasing manpower to ensure the protection of Congress, the public and our police officers,” The United States Capitol Police Department said in a statement.

The House of Representatives decided to hold its last votes of the week Wednesday evening to avoid being at the Capitol Thursday because of the threat.
