Deleted because it was out of line on my part. I'm sorry; I meant it to be funny. It wasn't. It was thoughtless, and though I didn't intend to hurt anyone, it may have.

sounds pretty strange.. she ran a barrier,.. or in to a barrier at the white house...

having driven in DC alot it is easy to get in the wrong lane and easier to get into the wrong place... but you just have to stop and they will show you a way to get turned around...

from the news which may be wrong... seems she was from Connecticut and NYC,.. with a small child in the car.. and she was unarmed..

real sad deal either way if you ask me..especially when you consider a small child lost her parent today.

So the cops shot an unarmed woman cause she hit a barrier, or smoething?


Sounds like obama has put out an order to "shot or kill", during the shutdown.

maybe she just panicked?

Investigators are attempting to determine why an unarmed Stamford, Conn., woman ran her car into a security fence outside the White House on Thursday before leading authorities on a short chase that ended with her death in a hail of police gunfire near the U.S. Capitol.

Police officials said the black Infiniti sedan she was driving struck a temporary security fencing at the White House security perimeter at 15th Street and E, at approximately 2:12 p.m., then fled east on Pennsylvania Avenue, striking a uniformed Secret Service officer as she sped off, with police in pursuit.

Capitol Police caught up to her at Garfield Circle near the Capitol reflecting pool, but she sped off again. A 23-year veteran of the Capitol Police struck a barricade as he pursued her in a squad car and was injured.

But questions were certain to persist, including what motivated the woman to begin the rampage, why Secret Service agents were unable to stop her car at the beginning of the incident and whether officers were justified in shooting a woman who apparently was unarmed and had a child inside her car.

must be something in the water that is causing weird things to happen in DC

CBS News' Bob Orr reports that at around 2 p.m., a black Infiniti coupe struck a barrier at 15th and E Sts. NW, one block from the White House. Officials don't know if she deliberately rammed the barrier or simply sideswiped it. The driver, a woman, then sped off, driving erratically east on Pennsylvania Ave. NW, toward the Capitol, with Secret Service officers in pursuit. A federal official tells CBS News that the pursuit was high-speed through busy city streets, and that the woman was weaving in and out of traffic and running red lights.

"The car was trying to get away. But it was going over the median and over the curb," Matthew Coursen, who was on his way to a legislative office building when the Infiniti sped by him, told the Associated Press. "The car got boxed in and that's when I saw an officer of some kind draw his weapon and fire shots into the car."

Coursen watched the shooting from his cab window.

"I thought to myself, 'The car is getting blocked in. The car is going to surrender,'" he said. "Now the cop has his weapon out. The car kept trying to get away. Then he fired shots."

Shortly thereafter, at 2nd St. and Maryland Ave., NE, she jumped a curb and stopped her vehicle, leaving a child behind in the car and attempted to flee the scene, according to the federal official. Multiple officers then fired multiple gunshots; the woman was hit by gunfire and died, Orr reports.

really odd behavior

As more information about this incident comes out we begin to see it differently. It appears now that the woman was not in her car when she was shot but was running away.

We don't know if this woman ran into that barrier on purpose or just found herself boxed in. She paniced when police stepped in. Police are trained to be able to handle unusual situations, but even so, sometimes they do the wrong things. I often wonder if this hot pursuit thing is the right way to handle some situations. It probably would not have mattered if this woman would have gotten away.

One thing about it, I've not said anything directly to you, nor responded
to things you have posted on here for quite some time.

MsSage and I are friends. I didn't mean it to come across as it did, only repeating what she had said about herself. I never called her bat-shaite crazy, ever. She did that herself, many times. But I should not have included her name in this incident. I didn't know the woman was shot and killed and therefore, since I didn't know, I shouldn't have posted anything, at all. It wasn't funny, it was in very poor taste, and I realize that now.


Since you reposted it, I can see it really was out of line, so I will go back and delete it and apologize. Not hard for me to admit I was wrong.

Have a nice day!

The more I look at this the stranger it looks..

there are reverse/backup spike strips all over DC at the entrances to buildings and secure lots.. they steel and concrete have barriers that can be raised. and they use a bike rack?

is it just me of is the security in DC a paper tiger?

B.J. Campbell, 69, a tourist visiting from Portland, Ore., said he saw the black car drive past White House security. Officers began “banging on the car, yelling at her,” Campbell told TIME. One tried to use a bicycle rack to box in the vehicle, but the car spun around and rammed into the rack and hit the officer, who was not wearing a uniform. The officer, whom the Associated Press identified as a Secret Service agent, was knocked onto the hood of the car and rolled off onto the street, according to Campbell. However, another witness said the officer got up and did not appear to be injured.

another thing is.. the picture of the car vs the police car that actually clipped a security barrier

"She's the second Brooklyn native in two weeks to be involved in a violent incident in D.C."

it is just odd.. why two mid thirties African Americans went berserk in DC.
