Hope this wasn't someone we know here or who attends Katie's. Apparently his stab wounds were critical. Keep an eye out everywhere now.....

TAKOMA PARK, Md. - An attempted carjacking and attempted murder suspect was killed Saturday afternoon by police after a wild chase through Takoma Park and Prince George's County.


Takoma Park police say it all started around 4 p.m. at a gas station on New Hampshire Avenue in Takoma Park.


Police the 19-year-old suspect sped away after stabbing a customer multiple times while attempting to steal a Porsche at a Sunoco gas station on New Hampshire Avenue.


Two officers, a man and a woman, arrived on the scenein separate cars as the suspect was fleeing in a red Ford Focus.


The officers chased the vehicle into Prince George's County.


At one point the suspect lost control of his vehicle on Metzerott Road, and hit three occupied vehicles. The suspect car's then flipped over.


One of the police officer's then arrived on the scene, and the suspect began to flee the scene.

The suspect and the officer then began a struggle. Police say the suspect was assaulting the female officer when the male officer arrived on the scene.

The suspect later died of his injuries at a hospital.


Police haven't released the names of the suspect or the officers involved in the incident.

 

Damn... Though its good to hear the police did their job!
F*#% thieves

 

Good shoot.


Hope the driver recovers fully from his injuries.

 

We all need to be careful these days. Something as simple as filling your gas tank can turn tragic or deadly. I wish a speedy recovery for the Porsche driver. All the more reason to be prepared and "protect yourself" when required!

 

Glad they shot that scum bag. I do my best to stay the hell out of MD.

 

Thats a tragedy... What model Pcar was it? This is not indicative of MD per se.... Incident could have happened anywhere... I've been to that sunoco on
New Hampshire ave a million times grew up in silver spring it's right down the street from where I went to hs. It's not a dangerious gas station... This is def an isolated incident.

 

Terrible, broad daylight too.

 

Was a maroon 997, looked like a targa even from some video footage this morning on the news!

 

Good thing nothing happens over in the land of Milk and Honey.

 

No respect for life at all... glad the guy was gunned down!

 

Glad I live in VA where I can decide if I want to be an easy victim or NOT! Thank goodness for the CWP.

Glad the perp will not be doing this again and I hope for a full recovery for the victim.

 

terrible news, always watch your surrounding areas... but there is only so much you can do.

 

I know that area. It's not a terribly violent one in the least. If they would have said Langley Park, then I would have raised an eyebrow.

As the holidays get closer, crime always spikes. Especially in a recession.

 

It's time for a Federal CCW Law. No more of these ad hoc, state by state, non-shall issue, non-reciprocity between states nonsense.

No government should have the right to tell me the method in which I can defend my life when under harm with intent of deadly injury.

 

I was interested in that, til I read all the HR822 subprovisions for local LE to be able to verify if you have a CWP in your state of choice.... = National Biometric database of CWP holders. No thanks.
