US Capitol evacuated as police track aircraft that posed 'probable threat'

The US Capitol was evacuated on Wednesday night as police tracked an aircraft believed to pose a probable threat to the Capitol Complex.

A majority of the complex was emptied as part of the security scare, including the Capitol building, the Capitol Visitor Center, Hart, Dirksen, Russell, Cannon, Longworth, Rayburn, Library of Congress (Jefferson, Madison, Adams) and the U.S. Botanic Garden.

However, The U.S. Capitol Police issued a statement saying there was no longer any perceived hazard, just minutes after issuing a statement saying they were tracking the aircraft that posed a probable threat.
