Alhurra Television provides this footage of a police chase that unfolded in Washington D.C. on October 3rd. The driver of a black sedan rammed a barricade near the White House, turned around and eventually crashed into another barricade near the U.S. Capitol building.
Officers with semi-automatic weapons were seen running for the exits on the first floor of the House side of the Capitol. Reports of shots inside were unconfirmed.
As of 2:26, the Senate floor was still open and the Senate was on the floor, but police were in the hallways, reporters on the scene said.
Representative Gerry Connolly (D-VA11) was standing on a balcony of the U.S. Capitol with Representative Matt Cartwright (D-PA17) when they heard two bursts of gunfire coming from the direction of the Rayburn Office Building.
"It was almost like two very rapid fire bursts, very loud," Connolly said. "They were clearly coming from the direction. That's when we saw people fleeing, and we realized this was no fireworks. It sounds liked the first volley of a 21-gun salute."
He said he could see people fleeing away from the Rayburn building and police officers running towards it before he was shepherded back into the building.
UPDATE: A source says Capitol shooting chase suspect Miriam Carey may have had delusions and post-partum depression.
Nope, definitely not Sandra Fluke.
