View Date:2024-12-23 14:49:52
Hours after police tried to serve an arrest warrant for animal cruelty, a residential street in southeast Washington, D.C. remains locked down after a barricaded suspect opened fire from inside a residence.
"The situation remains active," the Metropolitan Police Department's public affairs specialist Hannah Glasgow told USA TODAY at 12:45 p.m.
Around 7:30 a.m. Wednesday, three law enforcement officers were injured by gunfire when the suspect inside the residence began shooting at them. The police had tried to enter the residence after the suspect refused to come outside, police said.
A fourth officer was also injured at the scene, but not by gunfire, Glasgow said.
All three officers' injuries from gunfire are non-life-threatening, the police department said. The fourth officer's injury is also minor, Glasgow said.
All four injured officers have been transferred to a local hospital for treatment.
The residence where the suspect remains barricaded is on the 5000 block of Hanna Place near the city's Marshall Heights and Benning Ridge neighborhoods, and roads in the area are closed, police said.
