FORT WASHINGTON, Md. – At approximately 8:20 am on Sunday, Division IV Oxon Hill officers responded to a stabbing call in the 8300 block of Indian Head Highway.
Officers discovered two victims, a man and woman, with critical stab wounds. Before fleeing that scene, the suspect also set fire to the apartment. Officers learned the stabbing was domestic-related and the suspect was known to the victims.
At approximately 10:00 am, officers responded to the National Harbor where they encountered the suspect in that earlier stabbing at St George Boulevard & Potomac Passage. The suspect, who lives at the National Harbor, was still armed with a knife and moved toward an officer. Two officers discharged their duty weapons. The suspect was struck.
Officers administered emergency care and he was transported to a hospital where he died a short time later. No officers were hurt.
The Maryland Attorney General’s Independent Investigations Division has assumed the investigation.
The government needs to confiscate and make knives and lighters illegal. We need to do better.
We need stricter ‘Knife Control’ laws. Surely this is like a gun crime, where it’s usually the gun’s fault, not the criminal’s fault.
