FILE - This Oct. 3, 2013 file photo shows Capitol Hill police officers looking at a car following a car chase and shooting on Capitol Hill in Washington. Miriam Carey was shot to death after the chase that went from the White House to near the Capitol. The attorney for Carey's family says her autopsy finds that she was shot multiple times from behind, including a shot to the back of the head. The Justice Department has declined to bring criminal charges against officers involved in the fatal shooting of a Connecticut woman outside the U.S. Capitol last fall. Prosecutors said Thursday that their months-long investigation into the October shooting of Miriam Carey concluded that officers from the Secret Service and Capitol Police did not use excessive force.
