heh. ill be happy for my guess to be wrong, and it wont be.
I'm making no assumptions, there are too many possibilities. First, the driver clearly targeted police, injuring two, one of which died. After the crash, they didn't attempt to run away or proceed to the Capitol building, but instead lunged at officers with a knife.
Could one of the crazier Trump types potentially have gone full anti-cop and been willing to go on a cop killing rampage? Sure. Could somebody have simply committed suicide by cop? Sure. Could it have been BLM or Antifa, neither of which are known for their love of police? Sure.
Hell, for that matter, could it have been a random person pissed off at the state of nonstop lockdown flowing directly into Martial Law in DC but no political affiliations whatsoever? Seems that way.
Couple excerpts from the AP reporting:

Pittman did not identify the slain officer or suspect. Authorities said that there wasn’t an ongoing threat and that the attack did not appear to be related to terrorism, though the Capitol was put on lockdown as a precaution. There was also no immediate connection apparent between Friday’s crash and the Jan. 6 riot.
Pittman said the suspect did not appear to have been on the police’s radar.
