WASHINGTON — The woman who led police on a high-speed chase that ended near the U.S. Capitol building has been pronounced dead, Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy Lanier said Thursday evening. The pursuit ended when police fired shots at the suspect at a traffic circle near the Capitol building, and then again on the corner of Maryland and 1st Street NE only a few blocks away. Two officers were injured during the incident: one was a Secret Service agent and the other, a 23-year veteran of the U.S. Capitol Police, Chief Kim Dine said. The injured Capitol Police officer, Dine added, "is doing well." Police located a 1-year-old girl inside the suspect's car, a black Infiniti sedan with Connecticut plates. The child was not injured, police and the Secret Service said, but was taken to a local hospital after the car crashed. Authorities did not identify the suspect at an early evening press conference, but the Associated Press reported that Stamford, Conn., Mayor Michael Pavia said the FBI was searching a Stamford address in connection with the investigation. Police cordoned off a condominium building and the surrounding neighborhood. The incident, which began around 2:20 p.m. ET, initially led to a shelter-in-place warning at all U.S. Capitol office buildings, but the warning was later lifted. "We have no information that this is related to terrorism or is anything other than an isolated incident," Dine told reporters. But law enforcement authorities also said the chase appeared "to be no accident." The matter is currently under investigation by the Metropolitan Police Department, with assistance from U.S. Capitol Police, the FBI and the Secret Service. Earlier Tim Wilson, a spokesperson with the District of Columbia Fire and EMS Department, told Yahoo News that medical personnel transported one patient from the scene who suffered life-threatening injuries. He would not disclose the gender of the patient or the nature of the injuries. Police could be seen swarming the grounds near the Capitol Building with guns drawn as the incident unfolded.
