A U.S. Park Police officer shot a man in Northwest D.C. before a high-speed vehicle chase ended in Silver Spring, Maryland, early Wednesday morning.
Law enforcement told 91欧美激情 that an officer fired and wounded a man on Missouri Avenue NW, near 2nd Street NW, around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday.
It was not immediately clear what led to the shooting.
The man then fled the scene in a vehicle with the officer in pursuit over the Maryland state line, before crashing into multiple vehicles at the intersection of Georgia Avenue and Colesville Road in downtown Silver Spring.
A gun was recovered from the man’s vehicle, and he was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
The officer, consistent with U.S. Park Police policy, will be placed on administrative leave pending the investigation.
