This framegrab courtesy of Alhurra Television, shows a black car speeding away from police on October 3, 2013, near the US Capitol. A volley of shots rang out outside the US Capitol building as police intercepted a suspect Thursday, sending lawmakers and tourists scattering for cover and triggering a massive security operation. Police said the driver had attempted to get past a barricade outside the White House, just over a mile away, and had been pursued across downtown Washington to the building that houses the country’s lawmakers. A police car was left badly damaged by what appeared to be a collision on Constitution Avenue, immediately outside the Capitol, and a group of tourists were escorted inside. A woman was taken into custody by police after the shootout. Officials said that there was also a child in the car. AFP PHOTO/ALHURRA TELEVISION
