警方：擊斃一名女嫌疑人

Police have shot and killed a woman near the U.S. Capitol in Washington, after she tried to drive through a barricade near the White House before driving away and leading officers on a dramatic car chase.

Washington Police Chief Cathy Lanier told reporters the woman died after police fired into her vehicle. Lanier said shots were fired in at least two locations during the confrontation Thursday afternoon.

Capitol Police Chief Kim Dine said this appeared to be an isolated incident with no link to terrorism. He said a police officer rescued a 1-year-old child from the car after the chase.

Authorities said two officers were hurt in the incident, but that both are in good condition and expected to recover.

The U.S. Capitol was put under a brief security lockdown as the situation unfolded. But there never was a threat to lawmakers inside the building.

Police are refusing to comment on the identity or motive of the woman who drove the car. They say the incident remains under investigation.在美國首都華盛頓的國會山附近，警察開槍擊斃一名女子。這名女子曾試圖開車闖過在白宮附近設置的障礙物，隨後警察開車追逐。

華盛頓警察局長拉尼爾對記者說，警察向這名女子駕駛的汽車開槍，打死了她。拉尼爾說，在星期四下午發生的這起事件中，曾在兩個地點開槍。

國會山警方負責人戴恩說，看上去這是一起孤立事件，與恐怖主義無關。他表示，一名警官從那名女子駕駛的車中救出了一名一歲的孩子。

有關當局說，兩名警官在這起事件中受傷，但目前狀況穩定，沒有危險。

這起事件發生時，美國國會曾經出於安全原因一度被封鎖。不過國會辦公大廈裏面的議員們沒有受到任何威脅。

警方拒絕對這名駕車女子的身份和動機發表評論，並表示目前正在調查這起事件。
