Several new reports point to possible motives for what caused a Connecticut woman to lead police on a car chase that ended in her death on Thursday. "Law enforcement sources" told NBC News that Miriam Carey, 34, may have thought President Barack Obama was stalking her. The sources also said Carey had a history of mental health issues. A law enforcement source told CNN that authorities found drugs at Carey's home used to treat schizophrenia and other mental disorders. CBS News reports that Carey was fired from her job as a dental hygienist after she argued with her bosses over a handicapped parking space they felt she didn't need. Carey's mother, Idella Carey, also told ABC News her daughter was suffering from post-partum depression. On Thursday, police said Carey led them on a chase from the White House past the Capitol before being shot and killed by authorities. "I'm pretty confident this was not an accident," Metropolitan Police Chief Cathy Lanier said, according to the Associated Press. Authorities don't suspect terrorism was a motive for Carey's actions. Something might be fishy here. What is your take on this ? Did they have to kill her with a baby in the car ? C

It's an unfortunate circumstances and I feel very sorry for her family. However with that said given the hightened security especially since we live in a post 911 world her driving erratically right near Capital Hill and the White House posed a threat to politicians, citizens, tourists and the President. The police and FBI didn't know what they were facing. What happened if this person driving was plotting to blow up the area with a car bomb, or had a weapon. They are not aware of what threat this person driving the car poses especially in the heart of DC which just 2 weeks before had 12 people murdered by shooter at Navy Yard (which by the way my cousin worked at but just happened to take that day off). We live in unsafe and dangers times and must be alert at all times especially with the looming threat of terro sits both domestic and foreign.

Unfortunate but they did what they had to do.
