法庭记录显示，一名佐治亚州男子当地时间周一对非法携带枪支罪名认罪，该男子曾携带上膛霰弹枪、身着防弹衣和迷彩服冲向美国国会山。
据联邦检察官透露，现年18岁的卡特·卡马乔来自佐治亚州斯迈尔纳市，他在2月17日国会山外被警方逮捕时告诉办案警员，他打算当面质问国会议员，并“逼他们说出真相”。但他未能进入国会大厦，也没有造成任何人受伤。
卡马乔原定12月8日由华盛顿特区联邦地区法官阿米特·梅塔宣判。他自被捕以来一直被关押在看守所。
卡马乔对两项罪名表示认罪：一是在国会山场地非法持有枪支，二是拥有、接收或散布儿童色情制品。后者的指控源于被捕后警方对其手机进行的搜查。
监控录像显示，卡马乔从一辆停着的汽车下来，手持霰弹枪跑向国会山西侧——毗邻国家广场的一侧。他听从了国会警察的命令，停下脚步并趴在了地上。
“这名男子在国会警察的要求下放下了武器，他确实照做了，”美国国会警察局局长迈克尔·沙利文在2月份表示。
沙利文当时并未透露该男子的姓名，他称该男子身着战术背心、戴着战术手套，霰弹枪已上膛，身上还携带了额外的弹药。沙利文还表示，警方在其车内发现了凯夫拉头盔和防毒面具。

检察官称，卡马乔告诉警方，他在从佐治亚州驾车前往国会山不到一周前，为“居家自卫”购买了这把霰弹枪。他还表示，自己将胡椒喷雾和其他战术装备留在了车里，“以防我不想开枪伤人”。
“他还表示，曾考虑用霰弹枪破门进入国会山，”检察官写道。

Georgia man who ran toward Capitol with shotgun pleads guilty
July 27, 2026 / 5:54 PM EDT / CBS/AP
A Georgia man who charged at the U.S. Capitol armed with a loaded shotgun and wearing body armor and camouflage clothing pleaded guilty on Monday to illegally carrying a firearm, court records show.
Carter Camacho, 18, of Smyrna, Georgia, told police officers who apprehended him outside the Capitol on Feb. 17 that he intended to confront members of Congress and “scare them into speaking the truth,” according to federal prosecutors. But he didn’t make it into the building, and nobody was injured.
Camacho is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 8 by U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta in Washington, D.C. He has remained jailed since his arrest.
Camacho pleaded guilty to two counts: illegal possession of a firearm on Capitol grounds and receipt or distribution of child pornography. The latter charge stems from a search of his phone after his arrest.
Surveillance video captured Camacho exiting a parked car and running toward the west side of the Capitol, the side that is adjacent to the National Mall, with the shotgun in his hands. He complied with Capitol Police officers’ commands to stop and get down on the ground.
“This individual was challenged by United States Capitol Police officers in order to drop the weapon, which he did comply with,” U.S. Capitol Police Chief Michael Sullivan said in February.
Sullivan had said the man, whom he didn’t name at the time, was wearing a tactical vest and had tactical gloves. He said the shotgun was loaded, and the man was carrying additional rounds. Officers found a Kevlar helmet and a gas mask in his vehicle, Sullivan said.

Camacho told police that he purchased the shotgun for “home defense” less than a week before he drove from Georgia to the Capitol, prosecutors said. He also said he had left pepper spray and other tactical gear in his car “just in case I don’t want to shoot anyone,” according to prosecutors.
“He further indicated that he considered using the shotgun to breach a door to be able to enter the Capitol,” they wrote.
