BREAKING: Shots fired on Capitol Hill as police try to stop vehicle…

Police apparently tried to stop a car on Capitol Hill grounds but the car refused and then attempted to run over Capitol police officers. Thus officer opened fire on the vehicle and now have the suspect in custody:

The AP reports it was a female driver:

Police are responding to an incident near the U.S. Capitol grounds, and a witness says shots were fired.

A car was stopped at a checkpoint Wednesday morning, according to the witness, and police ordered a woman driving a vehicle to stop.

Several gunshots were heard. An ambulance is on the scene.

Police have yet to issue additional details.

The witness, on Capitol Hill to visit lawmakers, declined to permit her name to be used.

I’ll update more when we have it…

UPDATE: I keep seeing all over TV that the Capitol Police say this doesn’t appear to be terror related and is being treated like a criminal stop.
