Shortly before 6.15 p.m. on February 18, a patrol police officer drove in the 3500 block of the Georgia Avenue when his marked police cruiser was hit by a suspect who dealt with oncoming traffic.

In the video you can see how the suspect gets out of his car and goes to the police cruiser to ask the officials what is wrong with him.

The suspect then pulls out a knife and intervenes through the open window of the driver's driver of the police car, opened the officials and demands that he hand over his service weapon.

The official goes to the passenger seat and calls on the suspect several times to withdraw. When the suspect continued to swing the knife, the officer fired his gun.

After the shootout, the official left the vehicle and asked for the emergency services while checking the suspect, who then picked up his knife and approached the officer.

The suspect ignored additional commands to drop the weapon and entered another police cruiser below in the block. The officials demanded backups and a protective shield while repeatedly ordering the suspect to leave the vehicle. When the suspect finally appeared and still kept the knife, he approached a woman who was sitting in her vehicle near a laundry salon, opened her driver's door and tried to Carjack, says Pamela Smith, chief of police from MPD.

At that time, a second officer fired her gun and hit the suspect. The officials began to give first aid until DC Fire and Ems arrived, but he was declared dead at the scene.

According to the police, no officials or spectators were injured. The two officers who fired their weapons were put in the administrative vacation per MPD directive.
