CNN —An off-duty police officer was shot at and injured Monday while en route to work in Washington, DC, and two suspects have been taken into custody, the police chief said.
The police officer is being treated for non-life-threatening injuries, Metropolitan Police Department Chief Pamela Smith said in a news conference Monday afternoon.
The officer was shot in the area of 7th Street and Oneida Place in Northwest DC, police said, a residential, tree-lined street near a church.
Police spokesman Paris Lewbel initially told CNN a Metropolitan Police Department officer had been shot in Washington, DC.
It didn’t necessarily have to be a Metropolitan Police Department officer,” Smith said.
