WASHINGTON, D.C. (CBS)  – There's new concern about security on Capitol Hill after a Delaware man crashed his car into a barricade and then opened fire early Sunday morning before killing himself. 

The car caught fire.

Capitol police identified the man as 29-year-old Richard York.

No one else was hurt.

The motive for the attack is unclear.

It does not appear he was targeting members of congress who are away for the August recess.
