Police say the U.S. Capitol lockdown has been lifted after shots were fired outside the building.

People standing outside the Supreme Court across the street from Congress were hurried into the court building by authorities.

ABC News reported initial reports say someone tried to ram a gate or barricade at the White House with a car. A chase then ensued and ended up on Capitol Hill. Sources say the female suspect is dead.

A young child was found unharmed in the suspects car. The suspect did not have any identification on her. The car is said to have been leased with out of state plates.

"We heard pops that sounded like shots," said Senator Bob Casey, D-Pa.

It is not clear who was injured.

"We heard shots. They told us to get behind a car," said Senator Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio
