Was a woman with a child in the car.  She rammed the car into one of the gates of the White House.  

 

Stupid crazy.

When I saw the thread title, I thought that Boner and Reid were re-enacting Aaron Burr/Alexander Hamilton.

One dead (the woman suspect)

[Tank]

anyone hurt/dead? did they catch the suspect?

 

our cable tv is out here at school because of some new thing charter cable has done so i can't watch the news or anything else.

I'm willing to guess the police shot themselves.

I guess the cop was hit by the car, not shot.

Let's suggest that as a solution.

How many shots were fired?

[arch stanton]

Damn shame she couldn't reach her target audience.

[katie]

Pshh... shots "potentially" fired (per article st1ck posted)

[decinces11]

Watching CNN and they have footage of the car chase, courtesy of Alhurra TV. Have at it conspiracy theorists.

I don't trust CNN until I hear the official AW count.

 

Reports that the woman driving the car was former Nevada US Senate candidate Sharron Angle could not immediately be verified.

Presidential Massacre Scenario?

[Angel Oracle]

I wonder what boondoggle Obama is orchestrating this time, that necessitated this diversion?  

[TobiasFunke]

If the president had a gun, this wouldn't have happened

[Lhalo]

Here's video of the chase. You can here the gunshots.

There was no shootout.  Come to find out she was unarmed.

 

Chalk up another one.  They were shooting at her when she was not shooting and had a child in the car.

 

Way to go feds

Seriously? She tried to breach the White House and Capitol.  That's ludicrious to blame the police and SS.

[mtangelsfan]

She was running away.  What protocol says to shoot down a suspect that is running away?

 

Things aren't always black and white Scott.  I can blame both her and the authorities.

Sure but she tried to breach 2 of the most important places in this country.

 

What's the alternative?
