Female suspect dead

@RyanLizza: RT @betsy_klein: ABC's @MLevineReport: source says suspect reported dead on scene. A female. #capitollockdown

@marcambinder: Still not clear whether suspect fired shots or was fired at because she tried to injure officers or carjack someone at the Capitol scene.

@cnnbrk: Source: Car chase ended at Capitol; driver got out of car and was fired upon. http://t.co/DQjN2v2zPn

@TimAlberta: Suspect was a woman; she was shot by police during car chase, per Cap police. Officer injured during car wreck, NOT from shots fired.

The Old Testament has a couple stories of women who worked at high levels or took up arms to "overthrow the tyrants" (Judith, Susanna, Esther...). It's not beyond the scope of understanding to think that a woman felt as she had nothing left to lose, she would be willing to try and start something, or be part of a radical attempt do make a statement.

For whatever reason, on whatever side of the political spectrum...

Of course, it could just be a disgruntled employee or domestic problem.

I'm sure the rethugs love this and hope that this threat to the president will force him to "negotiate" to end the madness that they've created.
