Wild car chase ends with suspect shot to death near U.S. Capitol
Washington (CNN) - She had a 1-year-old child inside and apparently was unarmed.
Instead, the motorist's black Infiniti, according to authorities, itself became a weapon Thursday afternoon, first striking a security barrier and U.S. Secret Service officer near the White House before hurtling down some of the capital's most famous streets, police cruisers in pursuit.
Dramatic video taken minutes later near the U.S. Capitol showed the vehicle backing into a police vehicle before the chase resumed. Gunshots rang through the traffic circle. The motorist was shot by police just a few blocks away.

someone wants to get the country runnin', restore order, or doesn't want NObama care. How about Biden care?
Not surprising, taken into consideration that the Republicans are holding America hostage by the shut down.
No one has said the suspect a woman even had a gun! Could have been a friendly fire accident by police.
Somone not gettig thier free govt cheese.
I see about a 100 cops. if its really one guy isn't that a bit much. We are such an over reactive society.
I thought that DC was a "Gun Free Zone" That's not supposed to happen
1.) Chase began at White House
2.) Chase ended up at Capitol Hill
3.) Office was shot
4.) Shooter got away?... really?
Please stop shooting guns off!
USA is sick with guns
Harry Reid is at it again.
what are more gun laws going to do...CRIMINALS DO NOT OBEY LAWS. For goodness sake...that's stupid to take guns out of the hands of the people who need protection. They are criminals...they will find a way to get a gun regardless.
Lockdown lifted, there was a car chase that ended with shots fired between officers and the suspect, after the suspect in question tried to ram a security barrier on Pennsylvania Ave before driving to the Capitol building.
Just a normal crime day in DC.
Tree. Liberty. Blood. Patriots. Tyrants.
How could they have not seen this coming?
People you dont read the complete details before you post. The gunfire was from a suspect that was in a high speed chase with police. The police responded in kind with a couple of rounds. Too bad they didn't cap the guy between the eyes. Idiots.
Surprised this hasn't happened sooner and surprised no one has stormed the white house......just saying
Parrot TEA Party smears in 4... 3... 2...
Unfortunately, this guy seems to have shot a DC policeman instead of about 535 other targets of opportunity inside the building. Aim where it might do some good.
To all the idiots commenting on how this happened as a result of lax gun control, please note that the District has some strictest gun control laws in the country.
AHAHHHAH! That's one way to get congress to stay together and hash somthing out!
LOCK THEM IN THERE TILL THEY DO THEIR JOB THAT WE THE PEOPLE ELECTED THEM TO DO!
More like our democratic president that is failing the American people.
The revolution has begun, the spring is starting, The boys in washington don't want to listen to the people who work for them, what do you expect, us citizens are fed up with all these elitist who pass so called great laws but exempt themselves, no longer are we a democracy, get ready, this is just the beginning
God speed you gun man! May your magazine always be full, your shots be on target and the sun to your back! Now save the Republic my good man! save.the.republic.
Guns are only as dagerous as the person who is holding , guns have a good use as well and a bad usage, so get a life,
It's scary reading comments here from the below freezing IQ crowd.
Wait I thought this was a "gun free zone" how could this have happened??
