A Black woman was Shot and Killed by Capitol Hill police for making a U-turn at the checkpoint
On October 3, 2013, in Washington, D.C., Miriam Carey, 34, a dental hygienist from Stamford, Connecticut, attempted to drive through a White House security checkpoint in her black Infiniti G37 coupe, accidentally hit a security rail, and was chased by the Secret Service to the United States Capitol where she was fatally shot by law enforcement officers.
A young child, Carey’s daughter, was found unharmed in the car after it was ultimately stopped.
Miriam Iris Carey was a dental hygienist licensed to practice in New York and Connecticut. She was born and raised in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, New York.
She obtained an associate degree in dental hygiene from Hostos Community College and graduated from Brooklyn College in 2007 with a degree in health nutrition science.[13][26][27][28][29] According to a family spokesman, Carey had previously been hospitalized for postpartum depression.
Carey’s mother told ABC News that Carey had been depressed since giving birth. Carey’s sister attested that she was “not delusional” and had been placed on a one-year medicated treatment plan for her postpartum depression.
Dr. Steven Oken, her employer for eight years, described Carey as a “non-political person” who was “always happy”.
On the day of the incident, Carey was supposed to be taking her daughter to a doctor’s appointment in Connecticut.[31] The FBI found two medications in her apartment, as well as a laptop, a flash drive, and three nonfunctional cell phones.
Federal officials said she may have suffered from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
The federal official said no weapons were found in the car.[34] Carey’s boyfriend reported concerns about her mental health and delusions to the Stanford, Connecticut Police Department.
On December 10, 2012, Stamford police investigated the complaint and noted that Carey believed herself to be the “Prophet of Stamford” and insisted that Barack Obama had her house under electronic surveillance. These police records were released after a Freedom of Information Act (United States). request made by several media outlets.
