Heroic Actions by D.C. Police Lead to Devastating Consequence

WASHINGTON D.C.--  At approximately 2:12pm Eastern Time a woman driving a black Infiniti Sedan attempted to break through an outer perimeter check point at the White House. An officer was struck by the unauthorized vehicle which then fled down Pennsylvania Ave. toward the Capitol building. Gunshots were fired by police at several locations to stop the Sedan. 

After pushing through a barricade the pursuit finally ended at which point more gunshots were fired, inevitably killing the unarmed and unstable female driver. A one-year-old child was in the backseat and was quickly rescued by D.C. police. The child was taken to a medical care facility near by and is in good health.
