An alleged gunman is in critical condition after a police-involved shooting near the District’s border with Prince George’s County, police said.
Shortly after 10 p.m. Tuesday, Prince George’s County police received a call about a man shooting a gun in the Glassmanor area of Oxon Hill. When they got to the scene, officers saw a man with a gun and told him to put it down.
The man didn’t drop the weapon, and he and two Prince George’s County police officers exchanged gunfire. The suspect was taken to a hospital and was in critical condition, police spokesman Officer Edward Martin said Wednesday. The police officers were not injured.
