A off-duty police officer in Washington, DC was injured on Monday afternoon when a suspect opened fire as the officer was driving to work.
Metropolitan Police Department Chief Pamela Smith said the officer was on his way to the 4th District station just after noon when he “observed a vehicle driving very erratically” in front of him with two people inside on the 5800 block of 7th Street Northwest. The vehicle then “stopped very abruptly” and one man emerged and opened fire on the officer’s car, she said.
