Summary
Two Metropolitan Police officers shot the suspect dead on a Metrobus minutes after he allegedly killed a woman on a Northwest D.C. sidewalk Tuesday morning.
Police said the man boarded a bus near Wisconsin Avenue, then pulled a firearm from a bag and pointed it at officers as they evacuated passengers and moved in.
Jeffery Carroll said the gun had an extended magazine, no officers were injured, and a few riders were still on the bus when police opened fire.
Investigators believe the woman was the suspect’s former partner and said he had previously been arrested in domestic incidents involving her.
Wisconsin Avenue remained closed by midday as authorities investigated what Carroll called the Second District’s second domestic homicide of the year.
