An officer-involved shooting took place on Easter Sunday in National Harbor, Maryland.
Police say around 8:20 a.m. officers responded to a stabbing call, where a man and a woman were found with “critical stab wounds.”
“Chief Malik Aziz from the Prince George’s County Police Department reported during a media conference that the suspect also set fire to the apartment before fleeing the scene. It was revealed that the stabbing incident was related to domestic issues and that the suspect was familiar to the victims,” shared the chief.
Shortly after the initial attack, law enforcement officers were called to the National Harbor where they came face to face with the same suspect involved in the previous stabbing near St. George Blvd and Potomac Passage. The suspect was armed with a knife and made threatening advances towards one of the officers,” the statement read.
