Metro Transit Police Chief Michael Anzallo said the suspect initially carjacked a person, with an MTPD officer on patrol seeing the incident and trying to stop the suspect. The suspect then ran away from the scene. That's when the officer chased after, but when the suspect tried to carjack another person, the officer fired their gun and hit the suspect at least once.
Arlington County Fire and EMS gave him CPR and the suspect, a man, was then taken to an area hospital for treatment. "In addition, I do want to thank the officers. They did a good job," Anzallo said. "We definitely do want to thank the Arlington County Fire Department and the Arlington County Police Department for their response and their investigation."Arlington County Police is now taking over both the carjacking and officer-involved shooting investigation. They asked anyone who saw anything to reach out to them.
