UPDATE: Capitol Hill police said in a press conference this afternoon that the suspect was indeed a woman. According to authorities she injured a police officer during the incident. It appears she attempted to ram through a barricade somewhere outside the White House. No police officers were shot, although a child was reportedly found in the car and recovered safely. The spokesman also said they had no evidence at this time that what happened was terrorism-related. They said it was an “isolated incident.” There will be another press conference at 4:15 PM. Stay tuned.

UPDATE: A quick summation of what reportedly happened. Not confirmed. We're still waiting for the press conference to start:

UPDATE: Reportedly seven or eight shots were fired (via The Hill):

The Capitol was locked down Thursday after reports that shots were fired outside one of the House office buildings.

Some lawmakers said seven or eight shots were fired, and that they seemed to be coming from the area of the Rayburn House Office Building.

Capitol Police ordered people to remain in the buildings.

Pennsylvania Avenue was also cleared because of the shots, and Secret Service agents could be seen putting up barricades across the street from White House.

Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) said he and other lawmakers standing on a balcony outside the House chamber heard seven or eight shots.

UPDATE: Policemen are on high alert with their guns drawn:
