A Colorado man died after setting himself on fire outside the Supreme Court on Friday evening, according to police.
The incident occurred about 6:30 p.m. Friday, said Patricia McCabe, a spokeswoman for the court. A helicopter landed on the plaza to take Bruce to a hospital. Supreme Court police, Capitol Police and D.C. police all responded to the incident, she said.
McCabe said the incident was not a public safety issue, but the plaza was closed to permit investigation. By Saturday it was full of life: fountains splashed, the American flag whipped in the breeze, people snapped photos and posed alongside the marble pillars, a family shared lunch on the steps.The 252-foot oval plaza is up a small flight of steps from the sidewalk on First Street NE outside the court building.
