Just watched the video footage on CNN (Communist News Network) whilst eating my dinner. Had to wonder at the news commentator's remarks. The police shot at the vehicle as it fled and then shot at it again a second time as it was jockeying with police vehicles after going around that cement circle. The female driver was wounded, I don't know how bad, and there was a child in the car. The police did not know this, or so the commentator said. I just find it strange how the commentator(s) were saying how the police did a good job and the lady needed to be stopped, blah, blah, blah. And yet if this were on the streets of any small town USA or urban setting USA they would be saying EXCESSIVE FORCE and calling for an immediate internal investigation. No firearm was found in the driver's car, to my knowledge and the only thing that I know that she did was not to turn away at the barrier. I guess a higher value is assigned when police are operating on the streets of the nation's capital, as opposed to anywhere USA. Especially if they are federal police and are protecting federal bureaucrats. Not that I want to see police crucified anywhere, because I don't. Does anyone else notice this?

^ it's hard not to notice but it isn't very clear and looks like you just put down random words as they popped into your head
I learned along time ago not rely on the any of the major networks for breaking news. I may listen to fill in time but when something goes breaking I try to find a source closest to the scene as possible.
I wonder if someone else had fired the shots & the driver of the Infiniti just happened to be there & had an initial argument with the cops at the barricade, then decided to leave. For whatever reason, they then thought that she was involved, even though she may not be.
Not sure at all what's going on here. Must wait for all evidence to come in, I guess.

Reports are saying she rammed a barricade at the White House and then evaded police and led them on a chase.
I guess the initial "shots" reported were unleashed by the police instead of some lone gunman. Perhaps the Infiniti driver started it all.
Sad event in the nation's capital.
