Capitol Shooting - Full Developing Story
The situation in DC is fluid, but here is the most coherent narrative so far from NBC Washington DC:
A woman opened fire near the U.S. Capitol after trying to ram her car into the White House gates Thursday afternoon; she was then shot.
A U.S. Capitol Police officer was injured in the event, though it is not clear that the officer was shot.
The incident began at about 2:30 p.m. at the White House gates at 15th and E streets, NBC News confirmed. The driver tried to ram the gates but failed, and then was pursued by Secret Service.
She bailed out of her car near the Capitol building and began shooting, NBC News' Pete Williams reported.
Some reports said that as many as 10 to 15 rounds were fired. The injured officer was airlifted to an area hospital.
The U.S. Capitol building was on lockdown after the shooting, though that lockdown has now been lifted. Parts of Pennsylvania Avenue are still closed.
The House recessed, and the Senate went into a quorum call. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) said she was told to shelter-in-place. Pennsylvania Avenue is closed in the area, and tourists were evacuated.
NBC News correspondent Luke Russert reported hearing three or four booms from his office and seeing 40-50 people hit the ground.
According to Fox reports the woman was 18 years old and there also a child in the car. The child is said to be unhurt.
This is Reuters' take:
The U.S. Capitol was locked down briefly on Thursday after gunshots were fired outside the building following a car chase across central Washington and a number of people including a law enforcement officer were hurt, officials said. A female suspect was killed by police at the scene, a U.S. official said.
The shooting rattled the U.S. capital three weeks after 12 people were killed and three injured in a shooting spree by a government technology contractor at the U.S. Navy Yard, about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from the Capitol.
The U.S. House of Representatives and Senate were in session when the gunshots were heard. The U.S. government was partially shut down this week when lawmakers failed to agree on a budget.
A source familiar with the situation said the incident started when a vehicle struck a security barrier at 15th and Pennsylvania avenue, near the White House. Police chased the vehicle for about 1 1/2 miles to 2nd Street and Constitution Avenue, near the Capitol, where the shots were fired.
"I was just eating a hot dog over here and I heard about four or five gunshots, and then a swarm of police cars came in wailing their sirens," said Whit Dabney, 13, who was visiting from Louisville, Kentucky, and heard the shots a couple of blocks away.
A policeman was injured in a car crash resulting from the chase and was taken from the shooting scene in a Medevac helicopter, a U.S. official and police said.
The lockdown order at the Capitol was called off and security along Independence Avenue was eased shortly before 3 p.m. (1900 GMT). Tourists were allowed back onto the Capitol grounds.
Just before Capitol Police sealed off the building, the Senate and House were in session. On the Senate floor, Senator John McCain of Arizona was urging that President Barack Obama and a bipartisan group of senators launch negotiations to break the deadlock over government funding and a debt limit increase.
The House had just passed a bill to fund the National Guard and reservists who are not on active duty during the shutdown.
More reports from Reuters:
- Rescue personnel stand around a smashed U.S. Capitol Police car following a shooting near the U.S. Capitol in Washington, October 3, 2013.
- Reuters Wire: U.S. official says that a female suspect in the U.S. Capitol shooting killed by police. The female suspect first tried to ram through White House security barricades. Police say they believe a child was in the car pursued in the Capitol shooting.
Reuters' Mark Hosenball reports: "Further to this point, a U.S. official said there is at present no indication of any connection to terrorism, though this information is only preliminary." - Reuters' Thomas Ferraro reports a message verbatim from U.S. Capitol Police to Congressional personnel: “The incident involving gunshots fired on the Senate side of the Congressional Complex appears to be an isolated event and there is no current threat to the Senate community. U.S. Capitol Police and the Senate Sergeant at Arms staff are continuing to monitor the situation and will provide further updates as necessary.”
- Reuters' Mark Hosenball reports from a source: The person involved in the incident was a woman. Initial reporting inside the government indicates that she tried to crash through barricades and get into White House complex. She then fled down Pennsylvania Ave in a car. She crashed by the Capitol. She was shot and killed by Capitol Police. One policeman was injured in the car crash, not by shooting. First responders were attending to her when she died.

You got the right not to be killed
Murder is a crime
unless it was done
by a policeman
Know your rights
These are your rights.
jeez, what did they use on her?
A TOW?
RPG?
Anyone want to place a bet on the woman's ethnicity?
<-- Shooter was WHITE and media will report this every 3 seconds
<-- Shooter was any other color and media will not say a peep about race or show any photos.

fuck the white house. when is someone going to try and drive a car into the nyse on wall st?
of course markets act like nothing is wrong
That was done back in 1920, with a bomb too. Was a big deal at the time.
http://madscienceunlimited.com/fiction/theexchange.html
She's a bomb too, but not in that kind of way. Well hold on -- yes she is actually.
excellent distraction!
Pass the panem, please.
She could have been Obama's daughter, half White, half African American.
... 87% Communist, 42% Kenyan, 200% fucked up and 800% ANGRY
We can't have citizens just running around willy-nilly, smashing barricades and then shooting guns and stuff. Isn't there a law against that?

"tried to ram the gates but failed". she was such a shitty driver she couldn't hit a closed gate? sure.
some lady with her kid in her little lexus prolly tried to make a 3point turn in the unfortunate spot in front of the WH and they opened up on her thinking there was a threat. then she prolly fled, looking for the nearest cop, which then opened fire on her, killing her. the cop that was injured hit one of those deployable pillars that pops out. this country is benny hill.
lmao Benny Hill.

Meanwhile, on the periphery...
"A woman opened fire"
Ah, the fairer sex... I was beginning to think only guys did this kind of stuff.
nah just one of them reality tv shots
So let me see if I got this straight: A woman with a handgun and a bad case of road-rage was able to single-handedly shut down the capital of the "world only super-power" by popping off a few rounds and crashing her car?
Oh yeah...Home of the "Brave" indeed. Just imagine the chaos a pimple faced skateboarder will be able to cause with a few firecrackers and some baking soda in a plastic baggie.
fucking pathetic.
Any excuse to break out the toys and play tough guy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Usb6-qtyRz0
Ah, those were the days. Where even the SWAT teams wore blue button up shirts. Now they think they're part of a fucking Special Forces ODA. Except they're just as stupid, just as incompetent as they always have, but now WAY more trigger happy. I always thought if a US civil war would start up in our time, it would be because a bunch of roided up fuckhead cops wasted a bunch of little kids. Maybe it will be a bunch of 18 year old girls with babies in the back while lost in DC and asking for directions.
WTF happened to that police cruiser? Did the Hulk do that?
Possibly it was hit by one of the new DHS tanks in pursuit.
That's what I'm thinking now. The black Infinity (or similar car) doesn't have any damage I can see to the front or back. I can't possibly see how that coupe crushed that cruiser and still looks fine.
I'll bet anyone there is a Park Police or FPS Ford F-350 with a slightly scratched bumper bearing the paint of that totalled cop car.
They really should have kept that panda cam online. People are not ready for this.
Quite possibly the 2nd funniest comment ever posted in the history of the internet.
just wait for the Tea Party connection
that's all they need and .gov will be open for biz for Monday
My first thought was that they'd try to blame this on a White (this time female) "Tea Partyer" (now also known as "Anarchists").
You see! Tea is no good for you. BAN TEA!
Watch for it: Pharma lobby denies prescription pms DRUGS were involved.
PSYCHOTROPIA BABY!
Never mess with a mother when their child is close....they get very angry and defensive....it will be interesting if she had a gun...active....or was just running from the shots...defensive...?????
Maybe the police mistook her for a newspaper delivery girl.
Excellent LAPD marksmanship mention.
And the spin will be: Take away their evil guns!
Take away their evil cars! Oh and their child safety seats!
But the Park Police will miss their evil guns!
The spin will be: Because of this incident, the Fed will delay tapering. Stawks to the moon!
That's what you get when you make two terrorism movies on the White House in one year.
A WOMAN with Balls, and off her MEDS. She noticed that her Health Insurance went up under the UNAFFORABLE HEALTH CARE ACT.
The injured can call 1-800 -FUCK-YO.
The People are restless....
she should have done this yesterday, all the bankers were there.
So she rammed the White House gate, dove out of her car, raddled off 15 or so shots at cops, destroy the cop car shown above, her car wrecked off the road. And a child was in her car the entire time.
Who is this Jason Bourne's sister? This story makes as much sense as our economics we have going on here in America.
Does the Federal Reserve have a gate?
Any Fed branch has much bigger gates than any military post I've been on.
True. Fed buildings were designed from the beginning to be secure beyond what most can imagine.
Most City or Fed. Gov. buildings are not designed anywhere near to the level of security the Fed buildings are.
Makes sense given who really runs the joint.
I've been in one Fed branch, and yes it has by far the highest security of any place I've been - including military bases and police stations. Never been in a prison but I would guess the level of security would be about the same, although much friendlier and more polite at the Fed.
FRBNY is a castle. They have their own private "police force" (military), steel outer blast doors, with thin normal doors behind for normal use. Every praetorian guard has a gas mask on thier hip. Every floor has brass jail bar doors that can be closed to seal the floor. They have their own SWAT team, snipers, etc. For the record, they aren't friendly, they're fucking dickheads.
Not only that, they also have SAM shoulder-fire weapons.
Are we "Weimar" transitioning to...
BREAKING NEWS: Woman shooters trunk found stuffed full of Liptons, but you knew that didn't you.. You magnificent false flag mofo's..
She didn't know it was the Whitehouse is my guess. Just another random meltdown in America.
Let’s stay focused on who bails her out/ and or what law firm represents her. It becomes easy to follow the white rabbit back to the hiding den.
Dead women tell no tales.
It's gonna have to be Miss Cleo speakin for her man.
She's dead, Jim.

Looks like the free Oblowme Care phone just isn't gonna cut it.
A mother and child. Lost in DC? Gets on Pennsylvania Ave. Words exchanged with a Secret Service agent at checkpoint. Sees other police cars converging on her she takes off, terrified, as police open fire on her. Shot to death by police for traffic violation.
Say that again. "Not a single congress person was killed?"
Alex is going to have to go into overdrive
So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.
It's too bad one of her stray bullets didn't hit Schumer while he was being interviewed by Yahoo across the street.
She figured out how much owebama care was going to cost her and snapped bitchez.
Government workers go postal when their furloughed. Expect more if the furlough lengthens.
btw, the cops should be proud. they shot a woman with a kid, a few bystanders, wounded a squirrel in a tree, and will be back home in time for a supersized #3 dinner and a hot apple pie.
And then they get all Gay an' stuff.
Wait the till Treasury defaults and they stop paying food stamps. There will be more pissed off woman with children.
The damage to that police car is not consistant with the damage to 'suspect' vehicle! Child in car appears to be a black girl about 3 or 4 years old.
That police car must have run into or been hit by a large vehicle or immovable object.
Nothing to do with the suspect.
Bad driving by the cop.
These DC cops are real killers, man.
LC old friend. Just +1 and I will leave it at that.
Most likely imho this is yet another example of an MK/Monarch subject being triggered by a handler into recalling a suicidal alter, one that didnt care about the kid, and one which was programmed to self-terminate in a hail of bullets in a suicide by cop maneuver at the gate. No rational person would ever do such a thing, knowing full well the consequences.

Auwl be bach.
I wonder if she was hot or at least cute ... thats the important question that nobody has answered.
Wonder is she had a nice rack like Paulette
This is a TRUE USA woman, willing to take on the Commander and Chief and the entire broken government-corporate monster machine on her own.
Long live the brave soul. The question is, what the rest are waiting for?
Nice take.

MOAR violence = MOAR distractions
Ok, I just saw that smashed police car.
Did something step on it?
See - this is what happens when T-Wingers hold the government hostile.
wacko, tx license plates?
An 18 year old woman,...not the HellsAngels?
Yes, and no. And it wasn't sport bike riders hurling themsleves under SUVs.

I'm watching the news and just saw the police carrying a BLACK CHILD from the scene. How great would it be if this was a libtard trying to run down a Tea Party Republican? Plus, it turns out now that she was unarmed. The media jumped on this, foaming at the mouth that it could be a right-wing extremist and they may have a dead Obamaton on their hands.
All MSM reporters are now hearing in their earpiece...
ABORT!

Maybe Barack isn't gay after all, is that what you're thinking?
what are the odds?
pretty slim -he's gay. So is Hillary. I'm just wondering who comes out of the closet first. The rumor is that Obama is pregnant with Rahm Emmnuel's child - but we know that will end with a third trimester abortion.
O-M-G!!!
He's cheating on Reggie?
Was she so excited she wanted to get her Obama phone signed by the president?
I think Obama wanted to keep her quiet, for semi-obvious reasons ("somebody's" child in back seat of car). Know what I mean?
Obama plays for the other team dude...
If I had an illegitimate child, he would look just like the one in the backseat of that car ...
Find out what party she is affiliated with and arrested the party leaders- Greek logic.
Did she fire at the police?
Did she have a weapon?
Shoot first, ask no questions later.
"Did she have a weapon?"
Yes, her car. Otherwise, probably not. Good question Sir. Here we go again.
Isn't DC federally funded? 'Cause, you know, that's an awful lot of presence at the scene for a bankrupt furloughed government.
The only thing shut down is the funny money spigot for the rest of the normal folks. The Royalty will never get cut off.
Crapitol has to have video surveillance. Waiting for video evidence...
...well, they will tell us it was shutdown due to shutdown.
"as many as 10 to 15 rounds were fired."
Really? That many rounds? Well, you know she was not one of us then because that is pathetic unless it was sniper situation which it clearly was not. Were they blanks I wonder? MOAR kabuki anti-gun bullshit.
No I'm calling bullshit on this one.... an 18 year old woman with a child in the back of her car would decide to "[bail] out of her car near the Capitol building and [begin] shooting". No sorry, that narrative doesn't fit. Try again.
Too much wrong with this story, as I said in a post at 3.35 on the original thread, and it gets murkier as time goes by. Wild mis-reporting from the outset, over-reaction by the authorities (capitol shutdown). Only known fact: a dead woman in a car with a live child after ALLEGEDLY ramming White House gate.
Now it turns out she was a teenager. The child is under aged 5. And we're supposed to think this is more than a panicked bad driver fleeing trigger happy police and secret service agents (all hyped up as a capitol wide drill for an emergency is still ongoing Oct 3) ?
First up: I'd want proof it was her car (was she running, fear of arrest in a stolen vehicle)? Where is evidence that she had a gun?
Hmmm......
But there just HAS to be a gun involved because ten to fifteen shots were fired.(by whom?) There was no gun on her part. We all know it.
Let's see that Infiniti front-end again. I had more damage on my Civic from typical Chicago parking.
Yes, the NBC guy said she bailed and opened fire. No way. And since it looks like she was unarmed, if she were out of her car, a big bad cop could have just walked right over and cuffed her.
Nope. It ain't justice without gunfire.
The cops in the video had guns trained on her the whole time. If she were armed I doubt they would have held their fire.
Judging from past incidents, the cops probably shot each other along with a few innocent bystanders.
Sadly, this is very common. So common in fact that officer training courses spend much of their time trying to stop this type of thing from happening in the first place.
But like war, once someone fires a shot all bets are off and all plans go out the window.
Lost female driver gunned down by trigger happy FedGov goons.
More likely than the story so far.
All the hardware in DC today amplified the risk of mis-communication, and over-reaction, imo. And that amplifies the temptation to cover up fatal errors, rather than admit fault.
Hmmmm. We'll see. There'd better be evidence of the events, rather than unverifiable claims.
I'm with you on this. One of the 1st things I heard out of some bobble-head's mouth that they got on to the telly was that it was atypical action of a woman to be ramming the white house.
"The car was trying to get away. But it was going over the median and over the curb," said Matthew Coursen, who was on his way to a legislative office building when the Infiniti sped by him. "The car got boxed in and that's when I saw an officer of some kind draw his weapon and fire shots into the car."
Execution, DC style.
Hey folks, can't get those cops riled up and not expect to be gunned down. That's due process for you.
Tyler photo looks like the rear passenger side window has a big old hole blown through it.
Was she shot as she was checking on her child in the back seat?
I hope Mr Coursen keeps a clear head, and remembers his eye-witness account as it was immediately after the event; nothing less. And repeats it, without fear or favor in a town that is notoriously partisan at every level.
I hope that he keeps it at all, never know what can happen to some when they see the wrong thing...
No, she was murdered by a fascist police state run by a deviant negro street hustler.
I wonder how many of our fearless congressmen are still under their desks holding their wee-wees.
hell, Bastiat, they pissed and crapped themselves.
Those pussies are too scared to meet their own constituents!!
Awesome comments.. THANK YOU!! :)
The bullshit is really piling high now that they found a baby in the car. The real story is the police overreacted and shot some girl. Anything else is bullshit cover up.
It's clear now why we need guns in DC and other major cities -trigger happy facist cops kill another young unemployed teenager -
Of course they had to kill her -can you imagine how much paperwork they would have to fill out had she survived? I'll bet her gun clip was empty when they killed her. Otherwise they would never have gotten that close to endanger their sorry, fat overpaid asses -like the Columbine cops in their riot gear, safley sitting outside the high school securing the outer premises until Klebold and Harris ran out of ammo and then offed themselves.
Well, what more proof do we need that DC is a paranoid, psycho-sick place populated by cowards?
The USA is going downhill, fast. Real fast.

There is an old punishment called "shunning." You all know what it is.
I strongly suggest we ALL begin to shun "dhs" terrorists. Shun them. Give them shitty service. Do the 1001 little things any society does to those who have chosen a wrong path in life. It's legal, and it's effective.
Do it.
DHS protecting duly elected officials from .... angry constituents? Foreign terrorists? Random wacko-off-meds with deadly firearms?
Nope.
Watch who goes to jail over this - I'm betting no one. Except, possibly, the 4-year-old - to Juvie court, never to be seen again.
There's a WHOLE LOT wrong with THIS story - and we'll never see justice, not with Place Holder at DOJ to cover the tracks of the perpetrators.
Time for a real change. Vote for someone who isn't already corrupted next time, see if that makes any difference.
We have our own Gestapo, and Himmler would be proud.
Well, believe it or not here in France people are beginning to think Americans are right to defend their right to possess and bear arms.
Let me tell you a little story: a month ago a jeweler in Nice (southern france) was the victim of an Armed attack,he was not only robbed but his face was also smashed with the butt of his agressor's gun. The thing is that was the last straw he'd been robbed and mugged one too many times. So he took his hunting riflle followed the robber in the street intending only to shoot the tire of his motorbike to prevent his escaping.
Turns out the robber a 18 years old boy (no longer a minor in France) took the bullet right in middle of his back and fell dead while his accomplice kept fleeing. The Jeweler was arrested for daring to defend himself! well here's the thing: a week after that event a 1.5 millions strong facebook page was created to support him.The people of France are tired of their goverment doing nothing, the government says the use of force is the prerogative of the state, but when the state fails to serve the people the people has to rise up and take matters into its own hands!
People ARE arming themselves in France crimianl are no longertrying to crash ATMs in france that'd be too good, no theey're stealing meat from butchers, crops and live animals from farmers, copper wires from our highspeed train network, ' the cherry on the top of the cake as we say: we even have f*cking train attacks! YOU WANT to experience THE FARWEST? Buy a plane ticket for france, those are not indians attacking our trains but listen to them screaming like savages and you might feel like this is the real thing, only the calvalry isn't coming.
You can ask almost any frenchman right know, our disgrace of a president, Holland, is hated even among those who voted for him. We call him "Flamby" (a french custard dessert). Many people I know took krav magma self defence course or have a knife on them whenever they're outise of their homes. People are angry people are sick of all this shit! Sick of being insulted spit at robbed mugged and threatened openly in our streets.
Our soldiers aren't paid properly "a software malfunction" is to blame, oh but he high ranking officesr,have another software, a working one. Over 200 of them though retired are paid as if they were still on active duty, with all perks and advanatages still provided of course.I can't wait for the day our soldiers and our police eofficers tell politicians to f*ck off and deal themself with the clusterfuck they gave birth to. Come on dude you f*cked the pretty lady without protection now you ve'got to take care of the little brat too!
If ZeroHedge wishes to know more about the situation in France I can only point to Pierre Jovanovic an economic journalist (wrote a book about Blythe Masters) occasionally a guest in the Keiser report and himself a great fan of ZeroHedge he hosts an international press review on mondays on his blog.
Great news, French Citizen!
We may need your assistance again. Perhaps a new Lafayette?
(We have to find a G Washington, first).
Oh, and speaking of, our little homosexual fake president tried to order Mount Vernon to close today. Seems he did not know it is a Private Organization.
Fuck you, Sheik Alabama. We ALL know you are a sex criminal and a total stooge who cannot write 1 single speech on your own.
Yeah, you're bad with 1000 men with guns at your command. But come up against a former KGB Officer and we see who the pussy is.
Thank you for that report French citizen!!!
I would hope that the U.S. and French people can once again be free TOGETHER.
Libertas!
This will happen when you have a Marxist con man president running his mouth whenever they put a mic or teleprompter in front of him about how the opposition party is made up of extremists.
Good golly, miss Molly!
I knew this was going to happen after the Democrats pushed the Republicans too far.
The idiot cop driving that car hit a curb. Don't chase if you can't drive.
Where in hell do they find these pigs?
Mental Health Dept?
Short Bus route?
Just reported on the Blaze the women was un armed.
........and that makes it murder.
Hey, Pigs! Why is it we are supposed to respect you again?
Fuck off, faggots. I bet you MFs line up to take it up the ass. From The Sheik.
USA Today reports she was shot as she exited the vehicle.
Why after hours of hind sight does this look less and less like something ominous and more like perhaps a driving mistake of a young motorist compounded by some dumb and perhaps fear driven choices?!?
The start of the incident, as near as google maps is allowed to show me, is an outer perimeter security checkpoint at an intersection of an otherwise normal and busy street.
(I can't seem to get the video up right now) the video from the middle-eastern TV crew shows a relative undamaged front end and yet she rammed a barricade at the White House. Meanwhile a police cruiser that rammed a different barricade is wrecked with a broken axle to boot.
Now reports are of no gun in the car and all shots were fired by the author-i-thai. But she was in position of an automatic mossberg infiniti.
This all started with her GPS announcing "turn right in 20 feet".
You gotta say this: Those pregnant woman dhs/police targets we saw early this year really work!
Michelle was returning from lunch when security over-reacted. But their conduct was consistent with their training, so they will all stay on the job.
What goes around comes around
