Jeffrey Allsbrooks works in the office of the House chief administrative officer and said he forgot that the gun was in his bag.
A staffer for the House of Representatives was arrested on Thursday after he was found walking into a legislative building with a gun in his bag.
The Capitol police are trying to figure out how Allsbrooks was able to proceed into the building with the gun in his bag. Although they did not reveal the extent of their investigation, officers said they were"looking into what happened before, during and after those four minutes."
