The Capitol's Sergeant-At-Arms said the gunman has been caught and one police officer was wounded.
The Capitol building is on lockdown due to the potential security threat, according to an email sent to congressional staffers.
People outside have been told to seek cover.
No one is currently allowed in or out of any buildings in the Capitol complex.
The Capitol Police are expected to issue a statement soon.
