Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman of New York pulled the fire alarm in a Capitol office building on Saturday ahead of a crucial, last-minute House vote that could avert a government shutdown, his office confirmed.
"Congressman Bowman did not realize he would trigger a building alarm as he was rushing to make an urgent vote," a spokesman for Bowman said. "The Congressman regrets any confusion."
It's unclear why Bowman pulled the fire alarm.
