    Staffers said the shooter had been caught and apparently an officer was injured.
    As the reports came through, a convoy of Capitol Police cars sped up Constitution Avenue and officers were scouring the area just outside the Senate with rifles at the ready.

    BREAKING ...
    The U.S. Capitol is in lockdown, after sources say shots were fired outside.
    According to U.S. Capitol Police, officers are injured. One person could be seen being carried off in a stretcher.

    Sirens are going off in the Capitol, and people on the Hill are being told to "shelter in place."

    Senior congressional staffers and one eyewitness told Fox News the incident began with a car chase, which came to a stop near the Capitol building. Sources said several police cars were in pursuit. When they boxed in the other vehicle, the driver got out and five or six shots were fired, sources said.

    Witnesses saw a baby being taken from the car.

    Police have locked House members in the chamber. The developments come as lawmakers were debating a series of small spending bills, amid the ongoing partial government shutdown.

    The lockdown follows the mass shooting last month at the Washington Navy Yard.

    Fox News' Carl Cameron and Chad Pergram contributed to this report.
