U S.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(人群)as"very fast moving"."The officers felt they were being threatened-they were in fear for their lives,"Schneider said.

Carol Lanigan,of Toledo,Ohio,described how she saw a white car come flying down the street with two police cars chasing it.She said she heard about four or five shots.
"There were so many gunshots being fired,my family got down."said Robert Drumm of Oklahoma,who was touring the nation's capital with his family.
Numerous emergency vehicles came together quickly on the area.
Lanigan's husband,Dale Lanigan,described a similar scene,saying that as the car sped past him the driver had one hand on the wheel and it looked like he was reaching for something.

13.He's out there somewhere,an instant icon in the records of American conflict,the final big-game hunter.But a puzzle,too,his identity would be kept a secret for now,and maybe forever.
He is the unknown shooter.The nameless,faceless triggerman who put a bullet in the head of the world's most notorious(臭名昭著的)terrorist,Bin Laden.
He's likely between the ages of 26and 33,says Marcinko,founder of the"SEALs Team 6"that many believe led the attack on Bin Laden in Abbottabad,Pakistan.He'll be old enough to have had time to hurdle the extra training tests required to join the counter-terrorism unit,yet young enough to stand the body-punishing harshness of the job.The shooter's a man,it's safe to say,because there are no women in the SEALs.And there's a good chance he's white,though the SEALs have stepped up efforts to increase the number of minorities in their ranks,Marcinko and Smith say.
He was probably a high school or college athlete,Smith says,a physical specimen who combines strength,speed and wisdom."They call themselves‘tactical athletes,'"says Smith,who works with many future SEALs in his Heroes of Tomorrow training program in Severna Park."It's getting very scientific."
Marcinko puts it in more conventional terms:"He'll be ripped,"says the author of the best-selling autobiography"Rogue Warrior.""He's got a lot of upper-body strength.Long arms.Thin waist.Flat stomach."
On this point,Greitens departs a bit."You can't make a lot of physical assumptions,"says the author of"The Heart and the Fist:The Education of a Humanitarian,the Making of a Navy SEAL."There are SEALs who are 5feet 4and SEALs who are 6feet 5,Greitens says.In his training group,he adds,there were college football boys who couldn't hack it; those who survived were most often men in good shape,but they also had a willingness to show their concerns in favor of the mission.
The shooter's probably not the crew-cut(平头),neatly shaven ideal we've come to expect from American fighting forces."He's bearded,rough-looking,like a street naughty boy,"Marcinko supposes."You don't want to stick out."Marcinko calls it"modified grooming standards."
His hands will be calloused(长老茧),Smith says,or just rough enough,"as Marcinko puts it.And"he's got frag in him somewhere,"Marcinko says,using the battlefield shorthand for"fragments"of bullets or explosive devices.This will not have been the shooter's first adventure.Marcinko estimates that he might have made a dozen or more deployments(部署),tours when he was likely to have dealt with quite a number of dangerous situations,getting ready any time for explosive devices or bullets.

A.Who shot Bin Laden?B.What do the SEALS do?
C.How can boys be SEALS?D.What SEALS are like?

A.knows clearly what the shooter is like   B.doubts whether Bin Laden is dead
