A woman suspected of being involved in a car chase across central Washington was shot and killed by police outside the U.S. Capitol building this afternoon.
The incident, which sparked a lockdown of Congress, began when the woman tried to ram through security barricades outside the White House.
An official said a Capitol policeman was injured when the car driven by the suspect crashed outside the Capitol.
The U.S. House of Representatives and Senate were in session when gunshots were heard.
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.

Who knows if it has anything at all to do with government or just some lunatic who decided ramming the White House was a good response to a child custody suit.
Edit: Other source said "gates" and I typed it out of title length concerns. Tribune says barriers. I'm sure every detail of this story that comes out today will be wrong as per usual.
