Police Recognize 'Heroism' of DC Metro Employee Killed Intervening in Deadly Shooting Spree
A gunman opened fire near a Washington, DC, metro station on Wednesday morning, February 1, killing one and injuring three, police said.
Executive Assistant Chief of Police Ashan Benedict explained the sequence of events, saying that the shooter followed a person off a city bus and shot them. He then went into the Potomac Avenue metro station, shooting a man trying to buy a fare card. When the gunman engaged with a woman on the platform, a metro employee attempted to intervene and was shot and killed.
“We have four victims in total. We have two with leg injuries, one with a fragmentation injury to his finger, and the deceased.”
Officials said it was “unclear what the motive” was, but that they were “confident we have the shooter in custody.”
Video livestreamed by Mayor Muriel Bowser on Wednesday shows Metro Police, Metro Transit Police, and Mayor Bowser at the scene of the shooting updating the public.
Officials highlighted the potentially life-saving bravery of the transit worker, saying that “his heroism has to be recognized today.” Credit: Mayor Muriel Bowser via Storyful
