A 31-year-old armed man shot by D.C. police Saturday has died, officials said.
Kevin Hartgraves-Shird, of Southeast Washington, was one of three people in a vehicle that had just left the scene of another shooting about 4 p.m. Saturday, D.C. police said in a news release on Sunday. Officers had followed the vehicle, a white Kia, after they were told that three armed people inside were “seen hiding weapons,” police said.
One or more occupants fled, but one man “engaged” with police, Executive Assistant Police Chief Ashan M. Benedict said Saturday in a briefing at the scene of the shooting by the officer.Benedict said an officer shouted “gun, gun, gun” and issued commands. The officer fired a single shot. Benedict said police recovered a semiautomatic handgun with an extended magazine that Hartgraves-Shird carried and three other guns from the vehicle. One was a long gun that police said may have had the capability for automatic fire — the continuous firing of bullets as long as the trigger is depressed.
