It was not know whether the owner was driving the car. Photos and telveision footage from the scene show police surrounding a black sedan Infinity with Connecticut plate 323-YNS. 

A woman with a small child in her car tried to ram into a White House barricade Thursday, then led authorities on a chase to the U.S. Capitol, where she was fatally shot, police said.

A police spokesman called the incident "isolated," during a press conference in Washington, D.C. "We are not talking about the suspect at this point," he said. He confirmed the suspect was dead and that a 1-year-old child who was in the car was safe.

"This does not appear to be an accident," a police spokeswoman said. "This was deliberate."

All members of the Connecticut delegation tweeted that they were safe after the shooting and the subsequent lockdown at the Capitol on Thursday.
