Shots were fired this morning near the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.
U.S. Capitol Police responded to the area at Washington Ave and Independence Ave, which is located near the U.S. Botanic Garden and the Rayburn House office building.
The suspect apparently struck a Capitol Police cruiser and then tried running over several officers who were on foot, according to Metro DC Police. At some point, Capitol Police fired shots, but no one was hit.
The suspect was apprehended at 3rd and Independence Ave, and has been taken into custody.
No one was hit by the suspect's car, police said.
The FBI said it would assist Capitol Police at scene. There is no clear indication of a motive, or if this was intentional or not, according to the FBI.
Later today police will hold a press conference at Bartholdi Park.

LMAO!!!
Trump will do anything to distract from the Russian connection. /s
They want to stress there is no reason to blame the Amish at this point.
Whew, I feel better. Now they will go back to muh Russians crap and Trump bashing.
Where have we seen instances of people running over people? Hmmm...
Give it 3 more times and it won’t be news. Just like the fence jumpers are a daily occurance. Soros and ValJar’s doings.
A Muhammad? Bernie supporter? or both? Taking all bets
Woman per Fox News.
Where’s Hillary?
Traffic stop. Female driver refused to pull over and took off. Street barriers were raised. Cop fired shots.
Of course. DC has strict gun control laws. This sort of thing can't possibly happen.
Whoooooooooooooooosh!
It looks like a “drive-by”!
Lol yeah, I saw that too. First person I’ve ever seen here take the Amish thing seriously.
