vehicle, i m not a police officer, don t know what growers the minor neil: could i interrupt you. this first officer was it wasn t hit in errant gunfire help was hit by the vehicle. right. neil: okay. now, he second officer we re told also hit by the vehicle? that is not entirely clear to me at this point. i think we ll get a better update when they do another news conference at 6:00 p.m. neil: they re trying to find out what this woman was doing. you know the city very well, better than i. i know when work in that city many years ago, they don t take security lightly, and around these security checkpoints, especially around the white house, it s sort of like joking on a plane about a bomb threat. won t do and it you re in big trouble if you do. so if you were to ram something or hit something in that area by the white house, i m sure by the capitol, it is not looked upon
shutdown, everyone calling each other nasty language doesn t make us look good. it s not the american model anymore. you ve had commentators sorry. this is the vehicle in question. clearly this woman who is now dead. she didn t die from running the vehicle into something. the vehicle is sound and in good shape. that s a close up look at the vehicle from united security. she was shot and killed. we re told at both security points checking points if you will, she was told to get out of the car repeatedly by the white house and the garfield circle police. she did not and sped off. second time they said enough is enough. they chased her, shot her, end of story. now to your point and the shut down and how they re going to
obviously they will revisit all of the facts and what was known when and see what happened and what mild be improved for next time. obviously there was no further injury done to people who may have been walking around the area. obviously a popular place for tourists and people coming to do business here with lawmakers, and so obviously a difficult story. but it could have been a lot worse. neil: could have been a lot worse indeed. we are getting reports these cannot be quickly confirmed that both by the white house, the woman was told repeatedly to get out of the car. get out of the car. she did not. she drove off. when she got garfield circle, the same thrill. get out of the car. this is by garfield circle when the capitol hill police were surrounding her, telling her to leave the vehicle.
dish should stress capitol hill police then sort of take over, and then try to track her down or who is trying to track down whether this could be a head fake or there could be others involved and this is leading them away from the protected areas? right. that s why what i just said to you is so important. maximum to the protectees, minimum to the problem. the problem on the capitol i argue it s harder to security the capitol than the white house. the target on cap the capitol hill police have to secure the entire facility and the personnel inside. so for them you have to be very concerned you don t get caught up in one vehicle pursuit that god forbid is a distraction, and i know law enforcement, having done it for 17 years, that s the
what they expect to find out here. what do you think? well, neil, the suspect s vehicle, the black infinity is still on the scene so it s in the location where it stopped after this crazy half hour, 45 ho minutes, whatever it was. interesting you mentioned about a lot of information still to be figure out in terms of what this woman s intent may have been, what she was doing. all indications are she bumped some kind of security perimeter by the white house and then came down here at a high rate of speed. did in fact in fact secret service officers radioed down to capitol police so say we have a problem heading your way. i was told by a very, very good source, an officer was wounded be the car traveling at high rate of speed the hospital was med-evacked to the hospital for treatment. so you see a colleague get hit by a vehicle or get rammed bay
