"Yesterday afternoon, Washington D.C. police shot and killed a woman as she crashed her car into a police cruiser near the Capitol building. The suspect was identified as Connecticut dental hygienist Miriam Carey, 34, who authorities say suffered from mental health problems and postpartum depression. Her one-year-old daughter, who is currently in good condition after being checked out at a local hospital, was in the car with her throughout the ordeal. Carey&amp;#039;s rampage began 2 P.M. EST, when she attempted to pass through a White House checkpoint. As she proceeded to accelerate down Pennsylvania Ave., she struck a Secret Service officer, which set off a high-speed pursuit. Police fired shots allegedly to get Carey to stop her car, but she continued to drive recklessly, colliding with barriers and a Secret Service vehicle. The chase ended as she slammed into a police car and was shot by surrounding officials. Upon inspection, no weapons were found in Carey&amp;#039;s car. According to Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy Lanier, &amp;quot;This does not appear to be in any way an accident.&amp;quot; However, officials don&amp;#039;t deem this isolated incident to be an act of terrorism. It isn&amp;#039;t clear why the mother was in D.C., though news outlets are reporting she believed President Obama was stalking her. During the chaos, members of Congress were put on temporary lockdown and security measures increased at the White House. By 3 P.M. EST the pandemonium had ended, but it left D.C. residents and visitors in shock. We send our well wishes to the Secret Service agent and police officer who were injured in the chase. What do you think motivated this incident? Please share your thoughts in the comments below. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
