WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Capitol was briefly evacuated Wednesday evening after police identified an aircraft that they said posed "a probable threat'' -- but the plane was actually carrying members of the U.S. Army Golden Knights, who then parachuted into the Washington Nationals' baseball stadium for a pregame demonstration.
The Nationals are hosting the Arizona Diamondbacks at Nationals Park, which is located a little more than a mile away from the U.S. Capitol.
The alert from the U.S. Capitol Police sent congressional staffers fleeing from the Capitol and legislative building around 6:30 p.
