WASHINGTON (WJZ/AP) — A woman driving a black Infiniti with a young child inside tried to ram through a White House barricade Thursday afternoon, and then led police on a chase toward the Capitol, where police shot and killed her.
Linh Bui has the latest on the incident that started around 2:18 p.m. and ended within a half hour.
Police say the young child who was with her in the car was taken to a hospital. Tourist Edmund Ofori-Attah says the child appeared to be about 2 to 3 years old.
David Loewenberg, who lives nearby, witnessed the chaotic scene.
“I did see a black car that looked like it had maybe rode up the side of the curb, crashed. It was off the road. A few seconds later, I saw a police officer kind of hugging a small child, taking that child away from the scene,” Loewenberg said.
Shortly after that, Loewenberg says officers rushed him back into his home.
