ABC reporting one SS vehicle was seen upside down. It was traveling at high speed when another person raised ‘in-ground’ barriers.

Just sounding all clear in Capitol and office buildings

SO far there has been no indication that the female driver who bolted from the car had a weapon.

Woman in the car didn’t have a gun. Cops are saying she tried to run them over so they blew her away.

Thank you for that link, "X"
I am always open to clear, authoritative education.
I originally questioned the report, but never got reliable responses.

It may take me a while to unravel the reality, since both sides use the confusion/change the metric technique to validate their position.
