Here’s more via NBC Washington:
An officer with the D.C. Housing Authority Police Department was shot and wounded in the District’s Navy Yard neighborhood early Thursday, and a man and woman were arrested, authorities say.
The officer was shot in the 400 block of M Street SE just before 6 a.m. and is expected to survive his injuries. He was shot in the torso, Housing Authority Chief of Police Michael Reese said.
Police were searching for the shooter inside a building about a block-and-a-half south, at 1331 Fourth Street SE. Residents were told to shelter in place inside their homes with the doors locked. Anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious was asked to call 911.
The hourslong manhunt drew a significant police presence to the residential area east of Nationals Park.
The man was arrested in a “parking garage area” of the apartment building on Fourth Street, Reese said. He is the suspected shooter and charges against him are pending. The woman was arrested earlier in the morning and will be charged with unlawful entry, Reese said. Their names were not immediately released.
Two uninvited guests were reported at the senior housing building at 410 M St. SE, Reese said. Housing Authority police asked them to leave.
Three exchanges of gunfire erupted, with shots fired on the second floor, in the lobby and outside.
The man shot the officer outside the building and then ran, Reese said.
Libs of TikTok managed to find a photo of the suspect being arrested and suggests the story will now disappear because the perp isn’t white:
