Official: Woman killed in DC chase was delusional
Oct 4th 2013, 21:04, by By Associated Press, Associated Press

STAMFORD, Conn. — The Connecticut woman who was shot to death outside the U.S. Capitol after trying to ram her car through a White House barrier had been under the delusion the president was communicating with her, a federal law enforcement official said Friday.

The woman's mother said she had been suffering from postpartum depression.

Miriam Carey's killing at the hands of police Thursday was Washington's second major spasm of deadly violence involving an apparently unstable person in 2½ weeks.
