WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. House of Representatives office building was shut down on Thursday by Capitol police, who said they received a report that a person with a gun may have breached security.

"We have information that someone with a gun made an unauthorized entrance into the Cannon office building," U.S. Capitol Police spokeswoman Jessica Gissubel told a local NBC affiliate. The man was possibly carrying a .38 caliber pistol, she said.
