Latest Washington security scare: driver flees traffic stop, shots fired
DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. March 29, 2017, 5:38 PM (IDT)
On Thursday, according to a Capitol police spokesperson in Washington, an “erratic and aggressive” driver failed to halt after she made a U-turn at the bottom of Capitol Hill, almost hitting police officers as she fled. The police then gave chase. At least one policeman opened fire on the driver, who was captured shortly afterwards and taken into custody. The Botanical Gardens were cordoned off and Capitol Hill was said to have been temporarily locked down. According to the spokesperson, the event is considered to be a criminal incident, not terrorism.
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
