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.

Thank you Mr. Cruz, the people are getting restless due to your tactics, now the pot is starting to boil over, but I am sure you are very happy. I hope there is a horse available to take you back to the Texas panhandle never to hear from you again. Oh, please take the rest of the Tea Party dirt bags with you. You all can have a big ole BBQ out there in the grasslands.
There are 3 shots downrange
Republicans are to BLAME.....SHAME ON THEM....Remember not to vote any of them, especially the so called Tea Party next election! 'NO' TO THE GOP IN 2014!
This is what happens when government workers get bored from not working...
Great. One more reason for the House and Senate to go into recess. I hope they are all OK, but that they all brown their pants, out of fright.
And the Capitol Police are putting their lives on the line WITHOUT PAY!!!
Republicans are really making me angry.
Why is Harry Reid "reporting" this...and what's supposed to be his significance? Didn't this happen in front of House offices (not Senate)?
Here we go again...
They are saying the shooter is Senator Cruz, the illegal Mexican.
Yeah because banning guns in chicago works so well
I wondered when this type of thing would start.
Correction: COWER IN PLACE and hope you don't get shot.
The Democrats alternative to self defense.
gee I hope its someone from the "other" side that got shot
This just got interesting.
people are so fed up with congress
No it wasn't me!!!!
It's official. Over this fight on ObamaCare, Rush Limbaugh has officially turned the United States into Bosnia
Not to worry....no NRA or Congress member was involved, so not a big deal and no reason to argue for gun control. Go back inside and resume the couch potato position.
How not a surprise this is. This is what happens when you advocate violence to solve problems.
Somewhere some "Christian" is saying this is because of gays, environmentalists, feminists, the U.N. and the IRS.
Another false flag for gun control it seems.
Are they surprised at this? The way they are messing with people i expect more of this to happen as people become more and more angry at the so called leaders of this failing government.
And even so, unlikely that Congress will realize how upset the American populous is. 10% approve, which means 9 out of 10 people you walk on the street thinks you should be fired and 1 out of 1000000 thinks you should be dead and is willing to do it. That means there are roughly 313 people in this country ready to kill you at any given moment. So now there are 312. FIX THIS NOW.
Thanks to the secret service for doing their job even though they are not getting paid during the shutdown
Hope they got the guy and anyone hurt will be OK.
