Reporter the driverred headed for a nearby Traffic Circle and continued to speed erratically around the west front of the capitol billion. A short time later her car jumped a curb and finally came to say stop on the east side of the capitol. She had been shot multiple times and later died. Inside the car, police found a young child and quickly rushed her to safety inside a nearby Senate Office building. The bizarre incident began shortly after 2 00, about a mile and a half away near the white house. Sources say the black infinity hit a barricade at the Northeast Corner of the white house complex. Investigators do not know if the driver tried to ram the security lockade or simply sideswiped it.

But theres a piece of context here which is this is th isnt your average police chase for a traffic violation. You start off with a collision with the barriers outside the white house. And then chased at high speed to the capitol. Whats going through their minds based on their training is, is this a car bomb . Is this a terrorist act . Is this an ac active shooter .
