A woman driving a black Infiniti with a young child inside tried to ram through a White House barricade Thursday, then led police on a chase toward the Capitol, according to the Associated Press.

Multiple reports indicate the suspect was killed, including the Associated Press, but TPM has not been able to independently confirm her death. Authorities are expected to hold a news conference with more information at 6pm ET.
