Intruders enter House office building
Thursday, October 30, 2003 Posted: 2:27 PM EST (1927 GMT)
 
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Two intruders bolted through a security checkpoint Thursday afternoon at the House Cannon Office Building after an X-ray machine showed what looked like a revolver in a knapsack, a Capitol Hill police spokeswoman said.  
 
The security breach prompted police to begin evacuating the building and systematically searching each office for the intruders, described as a white man and white woman in their 20s.  
 
It was unclear whether the detected revolver was a real gun or a toy.  
 
"The possible weapon was a .38. We do believe that it is a revolver, " Capitol police spokeswoman Jessica Gissubel said.  
 
Authorities are looking for a white man described as 5 feet 3 and 140 pounds, she said. He was wearing a black suit and white shirt and carried a black and grey backpack.  
 
The woman was wearing khaki pants, a pink shirt and sunglasses atop her head, Gissubel said. She is described as 5 feet 5 with long brown hair extending past her shoulders.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. Capitol Police searched for a man and a woman who bolted through a security checkpoint at the Cannon House Office Building Thursday afternoon with what police believe was a .38-caliber revolver, a police spokeswoman said.  
 
The building has been locked down, and a SWAT team is conducting a room-by-room search for the suspects. People leaving the building, near the Capitol, are being searched, said police spokeswoman Jessica Gissubel.  
 
The Capitol itself was not being evacuated, but the House went into recess 40 minutes after the incident.  
 
The incident happened shortly after 1 p.m. when an image that appeared to be a revolver was detected at an X-ray machine at the building's southeast entrance, Gissubel said. The man grabbed the backpack and went through the crowded checkpoint, triggering a security alert.  
 
After reviewing the image, police now believe a .38-caliber revolver was in the backpack, she said.  
 
The man was described as white, 5 feet 3 inches and 140 pounds, with brown hair. He was wearing a black suit with a white shirt and carrying a black-and-gray backpack.  
 
The woman was described as 5 feet 5 inches, 20 to 25 years old, wearing a pink shirt and khaki pants with long brown hair over her shoulder.  
 
The Cannon building is one of three House office buildings. The buildings are connected by tunnels, and police were taking precautions to prevent the suspects from going to the other buildings.
