I noticed a perceptible change at some point during the day about the coverage of the “Capitol Shooter” case. Once more info on the shooter began to come, suddenly we started hearing, “this was not an act of terrorism” (pretty fast call there) and “this is an isolated” incident. That was when I knew the case didn’t fit their “evil NRA gun toting” narrative.
Turns out of there was no gun, no shooting, the woman was an African-American dental hygenist with a baby in the car. There were reports that she may have a history of mental illness but it remains to be seen what might have precipitated all this.
Via NY Post:
A dental hygienist from Connecticut was the female driver who tried to ram her car into a White House barricade and was shot dead near the US Capitol after a high-speed chase through Washington streets Thursday afternoon, law enforcement sources told The Post.
Sources said Miriam Carey, who formerly lived in Brooklyn, was licensed to practice in New York and Connecticut and had a permit to work as a hygienist in Connecticut prisons.
At least a dozen gunshots were fired when she tried to flee cops, who had trapped her two blocks from the Capitol. She was believed to have been hit several times.
A child believed to be a girl about 2 or 3 years old was found unhurt in her black Infiniti sedan, which had Connecticut license plates.
