The video that is now being shown on Fox and CNN is of the car racing north past the Capitol Building on 1st Street. The video seems to be from an Arabic network, Alhurru, so maybe I can embed that video soon.
Here's a link to the video on TPM

Before this video starts, the woman rammed a barrier near the White House, injuring a secret Service agent. Then she drove at high speed down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol, where she apparently turned south on First Street and pulled to the curb near the James Garfield Memorial.
It starts with cops surrounding the car in a diagonal parking spot just outside the south west corner of the Capitol Building grounds. In the background is the James Garfield Memorial, a statue on a small traffic circle at the southwest corner of Capitol Hill. This would be the point of the Mall as far as you can get from the White House, so she drove half a mile to get to this point. The woman guns the car, forcing several cops to jump aside. She appears to back into a police car at this point. As she circles the memorial, shots are fired at her car.
The parking spot where she pulled in faces the broad brick pathways that run diagonally up Capitol Hill to the Capitol Building. This would probably be reserved spots for police and service vehicles. The cast iron stanchions on the curb are probably removable for events and to provide access for official vehicles.
She races past the James Garfield memorial, a statue with bronze figures seated at the base and located in a tiny traffic circle.
She races north. The camera's vantage point is from the West Lawn of the Capitol at the base of Capitol Hill, so the car goes left to right on the video as it heads north.
In the background you can see the Capitol Reflecting Pool and a bit of white marble steps of the Ulysees S. Grant Memorial.
She goes a bit further and reaches Peace Circle a block away, and does a donut around this small loop with several police cars in pursuit, then zooms north.
Apparently the chase ended only a hundred yards to the north, where she broadsided a Metro police car before being shot dead. Correction - the police car was damaged running into a barricade. It's not clear what happened in the final seconds.
Apparently in the incident at the White House she knocked down a barricade and a security person.
In this video, she forces cops to leap out of the way south of the Capitol Reflecting Pool.
Then she finally rammed a police car a couple blocks to the north.
So that's three times she charged the cops with her car. It sounds like this may turn out to have been a really tragic situation, but taking three runs at the cops with your car? See what that gets you.
