Two sources said that a woman was in critical condition from being shot in the chest on the Capitol ground, according to CNN. The cable news channel said it “could not provide further details on the circumstances of the shooting,” but it is unclear if they did not know the detail or if they were unauthorized to discuss it. They were described as “sources familiar with the matter.” Capitol police did not immediately respond to an email from Law&Crime. An attempt to call their spokespeople ended with Law&Crime receiving a message that a voice mailbox was full.
Later, it was reported that law enforcement officials said the woman had died.
