NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – A Tennessee man from the Antioch neighborhood of Nashville has been identified as the person involved in Monday’s shooting at the U.S. Capitol.

WKRN News 2 reports that according to the United States Capitol Police, Larry R. Dawson is accused of drawing a weapon while attempting to enter the security screening area of the Capitol Visitor Center around 2:40 p.m.

The 66-year-old was shot by police and is currently in stable but critical condition at a Washington DC hospital. It’s unclear at this time how many officers fired or how many times Dawson was shot and where.

He has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon and assault on a police officer while armed.

News 2 learned just before 10 p.m. Monday that weapon was a pellet gun, possibly a BB gun, that resembled a real one.

The incident led to a total lockdown of the Capitol as both staff and visitors were told to shelter in place.

Capitol Police also said Dawson’s car was secured and will be searched after a search warrant is granted.

A female bystander suffered minor injuries. Later Monday, spokeswoman Susan Griffiths of George Washington University Hospital said that hospital was about to release a patient it had treated for minor injuries and whom it did not identify.

On the self-proclaimed pastor’s church website it also states he has been to Washington three times last year to ask Congress to approve a higher minimum wage, a “movement” he says he is fighting for.

According to CNN, Monday was not Dawson’s first time at Capitol Hill. The 66-year-old was issued a “stay away order” by the D.C. Superior Court in October 2015 following an outburst in the House of Respresentatives chamber.

CNN says he “…loudly stated to Congress he was a ‘Prophet of God,’” during that incident.

According to the Associated Press, Bill Miller, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, said that after Dawson’s October arrest, he did not appear in court as scheduled the following month. Miller said a bench warrant was issued for his arrest and in January. Dawson wrote the court a letter in which he claimed to be exempt from laws because he is a prophet of God.

“No longer will I let myself be governed by flesh and blood, but only by the Divine Love of God,” he wrote, adding four exclamation points.

Other court paperwork said Dawson said he was previously in the Army and was honorably discharged in 1971.

An attorney listed as representing him in the case from October, John Copacino, did not immediately return a telephone message and an e-mail requesting comment Monday afternoon.

Records show Dawson was previously licensed in Tennessee to work as a funeral director. After his license expired in 2004, the state’s Board of Funeral Directors and Embalmers voted three times to deny requests from Dawson to reinstate his license, citing the “applicant’s lack of good moral character.”

Kevin Walters, a spokesman for the state funeral board, said the denial resulted from an incident that occurred while Dawson was working as a school bus driver in a Nashville suburb. Dawson had written a letter to a young girl saying that God had told him to have sex with her, Walters said.
