Man Arrested After Carrying Gun During US Capitol Tour

A Massachusetts man with reported mental health issues was detained after completing a Capitol tour with a concealed firearm, prompting a security review.

James A. Faber, 27, was arrested on January 21 after Capitol Police found a concealed 9mm handgun in his waistband as he left the Library of Congress.
Faber had entered the Capitol Visitor Center earlier in the day, setting off magnetometers, but was allowed through after a secondary hand search failed to detect the weapon.
Capitol Police were alerted by Carlisle, Massachusetts authorities about Faber's reported suicidal thoughts and firearm possession before the incident.
The officer responsible for the security screening has been suspended, and a full review of Capitol security procedures has been ordered to prevent future breaches.
Faber faces multiple charges, including carrying a pistol without a license, possession of an unregistered firearm, and resisting arrest; the case is now with the U.S. Attorney's Office.
