Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., told reporters he was walking from the Capitol to the Senate Russell Office Building across the street when he noticed several police officers driving fast up Constitution Avenue on motorcycles.
"Within seconds of that," Casey said, "we heard three, four, five pops," which he assumed were gunshots. He said police ordered Casey and nearby tourists to crouch behind a car for protection.
In about two minutes, he said, the officers moved everyone into the Capitol.

It looks like it was the cops who did all the shooting. In fact, it's starting to look like it wasn't actually 'a shooting' - it was just cops being cops and someone trying to get away from them.
Remember the initial claim that the female driver "tried to ram the White House gates"?
Actually, her black Lexus seems to have accidentally clipped one of multiple checkpoints in downtown militarized D.C.
There was a child in the backseat, presumably her own.
The mother may have panicked when approached by hystericized, trigger-happy cops, then reacted stupidly by attempting to speed away from them.
For that, she was shot dead, summarily executed on site.
The corporate media has taken full advantage of this story to freak everyone out and distract people from that other contrived 'shutdown' that has shut down vital services for millions of Americans...
