ABC News just cut in on the normal broadcast. Very light on facts re: the dead suspect. No facts, in fact.

again some sources say DEAD
some say IN CUSTODY

Fox News: “one of the Capitol police officers that was injured was injured by a car...PIT manoever..”

“Began in location of White House..out of state plate on vehicle..woman, first reports said she was dead, now reports say she is in custody (PETER KING SPEAKING)... now reports say she was taken into custody, er, fragmentary reports, confusing”

(if you see shows like World’s Wildest Police Videos,
a PIT maneouver is when a car rams up against a corner of car in an attempt to make it lose control and the suspect can then be apprehended)

when a police car rams another one to make it lose control, I mean.

“More than a dozen police, Capitol or DC, converged on area...roadways blocked...down Penn Ave at White House in this attempt to ram the gate. Eyewitness decr how police fanned out along Const. Ave, looking for an armed gunman. We are now told it was a woman bearing arms..no other info but that is what police were saying. Awaiting press conf. This event and
Navy Yard event all unfolding at time when Homeland Sec
basically does not have a chief” (Fox News)

You know whats so great about this government...?

That after 9-11 we didn’t change ANY of the way we live and so the terrorists have NOT won.

I mean....we COULD have turned into the type of USA who shoots bullets into a confused, single mother with a child in her car, thereby KILLING her, but....

Nah..!
