3 DC police officers were wounded in a shooting while making an animal cruelty arrest

Three officers from the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, DC, sustained injuries in a shooting on Wednesday morning while attempting to execute an arrest warrant for animal cruelty, as confirmed by Police Chief Pamela A.

Smith. The suspect, who barricaded themselves inside the residence, prompted a standoff that persisted for more than 11 hours.

The incident unfolded when members of the criminal apprehension unit and the Humane Rescue Alliance responded to a residence in the 5000 block of Hanna Place SE in the southeast part of the city around 7:30 a.m. ET.

An individual within the residence refused to cooperate, and upon officers’ attempts to enter, the person opened fire, according to Chief Smith, CNN reported.
