WASHINGTON (AP) â A Capitol Police officer has died after a man rammed a car into two officers at a barricade outside the U.S. Capitol and then emerged wielding a knife. It was the second line-of-duty death this year for a department still struggling to heal from the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Video shows the driver of the crashed car emerging with a knife in his hand and starting to run at the pair of officers, Capitol Police Acting Chief Yogananda Pittman told reporters Friday. Authorities shot the suspect, who died at a hospital.

HUALIEN COUNTY, Taiwan (AP) â A train barreled into an unmanned truck that had rolled onto the track Friday in Taiwan, leaving at least 51 people dead and dozens injured in the islandâs deadliest rail disaster. Many passengers were crushed, while some survivors were forced to climb out of windows and walk along the trainâs roof to safety.
The truckâs emergency brake was not properly engaged, according to the governmentâs disaster relief center, and the vehicle slid about 65 feet down a hillside. Minutes later, the trainâs lead car crashed into it, according to Railways Administration official Weng Hui-ping, just before the train entered a tunnel.
Residents said the attacks at the army bases occurred in Bariirre and Awdhegleh villages of Lower Shabelle region, 75 kilometres (46 miles) south of Mogadishu.
Speaking to the local media, Gen. Odawa Yusuf Ragheh, the commander of the Somali National Army, confirmed the twin attacks but said al-Shabab had been repulsed with heavy losses among the extremists. They even left some of the bodies of their slain commanders, he added, saying his forces were still chasing fleeing fighters.
Gen. Mohamed Tahlil Bihi, the commander of the government s infantry forces, told the AP that we lost nine of our soldiers and 11 others got wounded from our side.
