Teen With Shotgun on Capitol Grounds | Washington DC News

An 18-year-old from Georgia, Carter Camacho, pleaded guilty to storming the U.S. Capitol with a loaded shotgun and body armor—aiming to scare Congress into telling the truth. Though he never breached the building and no one was hurt, he now faces serious charges including illegal firearm possession and child pornography found on his phone. Surveillance shows him fleeing toward the Capitol’s west side before stopping when police ordered him to. He’d bought the gun just a week prior for “home defense” and even brought pepper spray and other gear. Sentencing is set for December 8th—a chilling reminder of how quickly things can escalate when youth meets violence and intent.
