“Police say Miriam Carey rammed her car into a White House checkpoint barricade on the afternoon of Oct. 3. She fled the scene to avoid law enforcement, leading officers through the streets of D.C. toward the Capitol. The Capitol building was placed on lock-down and Capitol Police issued a shelter-in-place order following reports of shots fired near the building. A Capitol Police officer and a Secret Service agent suffered non-life threatening injuries during the incident. Police shot and killed Carey just outside the Hart Senate Office Building, where many senators have their offices. Carey was a dental hygienist whose 1-year-old daughter was also in the vehicle during the chase.”
