CNN is reporting the woman was shot in the chest, but no other details have been provided. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-California), who called the breach “unAmerican” had previously reported to Fox News that he heard “shots fired” through a Capitol Police radio amid unconfirmed reports swirling around social media.
