sam? sam: yes, leon. we're here with the chief. the chief is about to speak to us now. >> this afternoon or a little after 4:00, officers were dispatched to the capitol for a call with a man with a gun. the call came with a lookout. so a description of the man with the gun. this is peach street southwest. as they entered, a car at a high rate of speed was fleeing the area and had a person who appeared to match that and look out in the car. officers turn around got behind the car. pursued that car now down capitol real estate. two officers and a sergeant jumped in the car. the passenger of the

south capitol street prior to entering the third street tunnel, extended the arm out of the passenger window with a small automatic handgun. maybe a mac 11 handgun. out the window and fired a shot at the officers that were behind him. the sergeant in the car got out to secure that. after they fire the shot, it appears that the shooter dropped the gun in the tunnel on the roadway. the sergeant got out of the car to secure that weapon in the tunnel, in the middle of the highway. the officers pursued the car that came to a stop here. so right now i will tell you this is what caused a lockdown of the capitol because they know we were pursuing a man with a gun. there was foot pursuit after the car stopped here. we right now have the weapon

we have a lot of ammunition with the weapon. we have the car and three people from the incident that we have taken into custody. it's very early in the investigation. that is the best description i can give you that we know right now. some of that may change. >> there was a man gun? >> mac-11. small machine gun. >> did the police return fire? chief lanlan: they did not. they were in a crowded tunnel and it wasn't an option.

chief lanier: they are good. this is the second time today we had them shoot at police. all the suspects are in custody. >> what can you tell us? >> they just left five minutes ago. i can't tell you anything. >> is there a robbery or anything that was attempted before that started this off or just a guy with the gun? >> i don't have the information. what i have now is a call for a man with a gun with a specific lookout. the officers arrived in the area a car sped past them. they saw a person that matched the lookout in the car and turned around. >> 18 hours, you have had two separate incidents where the officers are fired upon. >> i know. >> by suspects. put that in perspective for the public? chief lanier: there is no perspective. no way to tell you what it feels like to have people shoot at you. there is no perspective. the officers are in good condition here. i'm glad

responsible. i'm glad we do. >> is there more going on here than the two isolated incidents today? chief lanier: obviously a concern that person would turn a gun and shoot at the police officers twice in one day. that is a big concern for us. >> chief, the lockdown on the capitol is because they made the exit at this point and came in the capitol? chief lanier: we share communication. they know we were pursuing a person with a gun and shots were fired at police. >> how much do the recent incidents in dallas weigh on you and your officers? >> nationwide events so been weighing on us for a long time. dallas is one of many incidents that weigh on us. but obviously for those of us in law enforcement, it's on our minds all the time. remembrance services on, all day today. it weighs on all of us. >> how many rounds did the weapon hold? >> typically around 30. 30 round magazine. can be

a picture myself. i haven't been down to where the ammunition is. it's a lot. >> they threw out the weapon and the ammo? >> they dropped it. >> just prior to entering the tunnel. all right. >> so that is chief cathy lanier. speaking to reporters here about the situation. as we said, she told us it started in southwest washington. there was a police chase at some point, one of the three people in the car put a machine gun pistol out the window and fired at police officers. dropped the pistol. the chase continued out of the exit out of the tunnel where you come to the capitol complex. and the car had some sort of answer incident with the wall. people -- had some sort of incident with the wall. that apparently is what happened. the chief said

we heard they arrested two on the scene. a third fled and was caught. three people in custody from this incident. there is still a lot of questions. we answered some of them with the chief's news conference. reporting live from northwest washington, i'm sam ford, abc7 news. leon: striking news to hear it was that kind of weapon used. mac-11. that is a machine gun. we are wondering whether or not it would be a machine gun or an automatic weapon. machine gun. michelle: the fact they would fire the shots outside the window. a moving vehicle in a busy area like this. we are happy to hear no officers or pedestrians. anyone else injured. leon: absolutely. the second time today that the d.c. officers had been shot at. another happened in southeast. in that case the carjacking. no one was hurt there either. we have more as we learn it and it comes in the newsroom. we have
