In all the years I have lived in L.A. (which has car chases every day), I have never seen the cops simply open fire on a vehicle like this during a car chase. They use the spike strips, they try and box the car in, they pursue for miles and miles.
Her "weapon" doesn't appear to show any signs that she ever hit anything with it (at least not the front... perhaps the rear as she was backing up to avoid being shot).
I wish the US Capitol area wasn't "different", but it is. If you have ever been there, it's a nightmare to drive in, and it's full of tourists (even with the shutdown).

According to a report that I read, she did the most damage with the back of her car, including striking and injuring a Secret Service agent (which wouldn't leave much of a mark on the car). But, the whole incident started with her trying to drive through a White House gate. Unless she got a running start at it, it wouldn't have done much damage to the front.
