WASHINGTON, DC. — DC Police are investigating an officer-involved shooting that took place just before 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Police Chief Robert Contee said that officers proceeded to engage with the individual in the apartment. Officers attempted to deescalate the situation, and that the suspect proceeded to go back and forth in the apartment with the weapon.
