1. Holy cow

Looked like they had her stopped and then she was able to get away.

[dkf]

2. OMG she was trying to get away...looks like panic? And then they just shot her.

I think I feel ill.

[geek tragedy]

5. So someone tries to run over cops with her car, and that makes you

sympathize with her.

Bizarre.

[dkf]

12. I never want to see a person die. Ever.

[geek tragedy]

14. "and they just shot her. i feel ill."

ya right

[dkf]

16. Sorry but that was my gut instinct. Guess I am supposed to be cheering?

[geek tragedy]

17. How about valuing the lives of the officers she tried to kill with her car? nt

[dkf]

19. How's about hoping no one died or was injured?

[Glassunion]

21. How about no one gets hurt.

Is that too hard to understand?

20. This is what I got from Zero Hedge a bit ago:

The situation in DC is fluid, but here is the most coherent narrative so far from NBC Washington DC: "A woman opened fire near the U.S. Capitol after trying to ram her car into the White House gates Thursday afternoon; she was then shot. A U.S. Capitol Police officer was injured in the event, though it is not clear that the officer was shot. The incident began at about 2:30 p.m. at the White House gates at 15th and E streets, NBC News confirmed. The driver tried to ram the gates but failed, and then was pursued by Secret Service. She bailed out of her car near the Capitol building and began shooting, NBC News' Pete Williams reported. Some reports said that as many as 10 to 15 rounds were fired. The injured officer was airlifted to an area hospital. The U.S. Capitol building was on lockdown after the shooting, though that lockdown has now been lifted. Parts of Pennsylvania Avenue are still closed." According to Fox reports the woman was 18 years old and there also a child in the car. The child is said to be unhurt.

Other news says the woman rammed a police car..backing into it hard.

3. She's driving a high-end vehicle - an Infiniti G37, I think?

Not sure of the relevance, just an observation.

[CJCRANE]

4. Yeah, I noticed that too. Nice looking car. nt

[malaise]

7. Lexus n/t

[CJCRANE]

9. I think Colley Hurd is right. It's an Infiniti, similar to a Lexus.

Inifiniti is the luxury vehicle division of Nissan, whereas Lexus is part of Toyota.

15. Our front page Gleaner said woman in a Lexus

LOL

[CJCRANE]

18. Well, whatever it is, it's out of my price range! nt

[Cooley Hurd]

11. It's definitely an Infiniti:

The grill logo is that of Infiniti:

6. I can't help but think about the SUV clash with the motorcyclists

Both drivers had fight or flight reactions.

[CJCRANE]

8. Could be.

That thought crossed my mind.

Perhaps she took a wrong turn and drove like that *because* the kid was in the backseat, trying to get away from perceived danger.

[Junkdrawer]

10. Kinda weird. Surrounded by police with guns drawn in front of the US Capitol. Violently....

reverses the car, almost runs over cops - no gunfire.

Then the car moves behind trees and 7 gunshots While the car is moving.

Warning shots? They had to know by then a kid was in the car.

[Junkdrawer]

13. Or maybe they tried to shoot out her tires?
