Default Loose nut attempts to ram police cruiser on Capitol Hill grounds,officials say; shots fired

A woman in a vehicle tried to ram a police cruiser on the U.S.
Capitol grounds Wednesday morning and shots were fired during
the incident, police said. They said no one was shot and a
suspect is in custody.

The incident started at 9:30 a.m. when calls came in for shots
fired outside the Rayburn office building. A U.S. Capitol Police
spokeswoman said the female driver tried to ram a U.S. Capitol
Police cruiser and tried to run over several other officers.
U.S. Capitol police officers pursued the person on foot.

By 9:45 a.m., the suspect was in police custody. The person was
caught near the U.S. Botanic Garden, according to D.C. police.

Eva Malecki, the communications director for the U.S. Capitol
Police, said at a press conference that the shots were fired in
the process of an arrest. It was not clear who had fired the
shots and Malecki did not specify.

“During the attempt to arrest the suspect shots were fired,”
Malecki said. She said an investigation is underway.

“Although preliminary,” she said, the incident “appears to be
criminal with no nexus to terrorism.” She said the U.S. Capitol
remains open. She also said there is “no sense of motive.”

The incident started when authorities saw a vehicle driving
erratically along Independence Avenue and they tried to stop it.
The driver made a U turn and nearly struck some officers.

If they required licensing and insurance for cars this would never
happen.
