WASHINGTON—A chaotic scene unfolded near the US Capitol (美国国会大厦) on Wednesday after police
shot and killed an armed man in what authorities described as
a rush hour traffic stop that turned deadly.
US Capitol Police spokeswoman Sgt.Kim Schneider said the unidentified 35-year-old man sped away in a white car
after being stopped a few blocks from the Capitol.The man drove the wrong way down a street and crashed into a police car in a heavily guarded area about a block north of the Capitol grounds,striking two officers with his car along the way,she said.
Police then opened fire after seeing the man hold up his handgun and refuse to put it down,said Schneider,who described the melee as “very fast moving”.“The officers felt they were being threatened—they were in fear for their lives,”Schneider said.
She did not know if the man ever fired at police.He was taken to a hospital,where he was pronounced dead.
The officers who were hit—one of whom was on a motorcycle—had minor injuries,Schneider said.
The late afternoon scare occurred as lawmakers were wrapping up a third day of hearings for Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor.Police briefly closed up part of the Capitol as a precaution,but the buildings were reopened about a half-hour later.Authorities said the shooting was not related to the Capitol.
