U.S. Capitol Police responded on Wednesday to an incident in which a suspect in a vehicle struck a police car near the Rayburn House office building in Washington, D.C.
Capitol police fired at the driver of the vehicle, according to NBC News’ Pete Williams.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. Capitol Police said there was “no nexus for terrorism.” She confirmed that the suspect was a woman.
ABC News reported, citing Metro D.C. Police, that the suspect also attempted to run over several officers who were on foot. Police said that nobody was hit and the suspect is now in custody.
The incident took place at Washington Ave and Independence Ave, according to ABC. That intersection is the outermost perimeter of the security cordon around the Capitol.

Probably a Republican lawmaker. I’d like to think that a Democrat wouldn’t use Uber, or any other form of transportation that doesn’t rightfully regard their drivers as employees.
Edit: Authorities are now saying that this was not an act of terrorism. I guess that means that the perp was a white guy.
‘I’m stuck in an Uber…’ It sounds like a song…
Disguntled taxpayer? If so, it can’t be Trump.
Perhaps Malaria making a run for it.
And why aren’t those same NRA guys demanding that we arm all of the gang members in Chicago so the shootings will stop?
Uh-oh - time for a clampdown on Liberal terrorism…
