Give ‘em that much time, and CNN will probably have it PhotoShop’ed up to the point that car will get morphed into an Abrams tank full to the brim with Rich Old White Guys, and probably throw in a still shot of Cruz with a caption sez he was there directing fire.
...no, there ain’t no sarc here to /.
If she does turn out to be a Connitticut dental hygenist (as recently reported) and is frustrated about trying to sign up for Obamacare to get insurance for herself and child (hyper speculation) we are going to see some bid spinning tonight and tomorrow.
Her beligerency might make her the daughter of that Congresswoman that is always going off the handle. (silly thought)
. . ..police are trying to confirm that the suspect is a 34-year-old woman from Stamford, Conn., with a history of mental health issues.
Police said there were no weapons found in the suspect's car.
From another post:
NY Post says the woman was a dental hygienist from Ct. named Miriam Carey. They say there was no id in the car so Im not sure how they know.

IMPORTANT SIDEBAR
Jim Robinson’s surgery started two hours ago for his second leg amuputation. It is scheduled to be finishing up about now.
Please everyone, stop and say a prayer for our good host.
I think it is going to be cops gone wild, but will be spun that she didn’t give them any choice but to shoot, which might be the case. One thing for sure, looking at the photos, the police cruiser is destroyed and no way she hit it. Which makes one wonder if the cop car accident made the events go warp speed.
These are just some of the strings attached to the tax money that comes back to the district after being sent to the Feds.
It's one thing to get it, it's another thing to have the school call you at work to ask why you didn't return it, call home to tell you you must return it, tell kids to tell you to return it, etc. And it isn't once a year, more like two or three times a year, every year! We've been in the same schools since 1995, it's not like it's a mystery that we've NEVER returned it.
Money, the root of all evil. Thanks for the info, though.
Is there anyone else who thinks this story is rather dull and is being massively overhyped because of the shutdown?
a child was taken to the hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries
I downloaded the YouTube Video and I am trying to capture a few frames that are very curious.
between 0.06 and 0.09,
It looks like the Cops on the Left side of the image are concerned with a passenger. ( I know angles can be deceiving)
In addition, watch the guy (cop) in the black shirt that initially seems to be raising his weapon toward the passenger side of the car.
At 0.29 there looks like there is an ADULT PASSENGER.

I can actually post her apartment number and street address, but I won’t.
Suspect is of “Somali decent” things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
besided being a certified dental hygenist, she did career counseling for that trade...
Lord, have mercy on Jim.
Boy these cops are defensive during this press conf.
Unreal- they aren’t giving ANY info on the dead woman ven though the press seems to hve it.
Has that been confirmed Sarah?
Its been reported all over twitter, so take it with a grain of salt but people keep on saying that its confirmed that the suspect was of Somali decent
Flashback to when Patrick Kennedy rammed through a barricade at 2:45 AM ..refused a sobriety test and was driven home by the Capitol Police. He blamed it on prescription drugs and checked himself into rehab.
A dental hygienist who is licensed in New York and Connecticut was the female driver who tried to ram her car into a White House barricade and was shot dead near the US Capitol after a high-speed chase through Washington streets Thursday afternoon, law enforcement sources told The Post.
Sources said Miriam Carey had a permit to work as a hygienist in Connecticut prisons.
At least a dozen gunshots were fired when she tried to flee cops, who had trapped her two blocks from the Capitol. She was believed to have been hit several times.
A child believed to be a girl about 2 or 3 years old was found unhurt in her black Infiniti sedan, which had Connecticut license plates.
ABC News said the 34-year-old woman had a history of mental health issues. A task force of FBI and Secret Service agents was executing a search warrant at her Connecticut home, CNN said.
The incident began when the woman got into an argument with officers a security barricade outside the White House and crashed her Lexus into the barricade about 2 p.m. witnesses said.
Then she drove up Pennsylvania Avenue towards the Capitol, with at least 20 police and Secret Service cars in hot pursuit.
A witness told the Washington Post that the woman drove up the west side of the Capitol where a police cruiser blocked her path.
Police ordered her to get out of the sedan. But she threw the car in reverse, jumped a curb and hit another cruiser as she fled to the south side of the Capitol, the witness, Frank Schwing, said. Police opened fire as she fled.

“Boy these cops are defensive during this press conf.”
This is REALLY beginning to sound like a situation escalated by someone’s ego. I hear a LOT of liability scrambling.
