WASHINGTON—A U.S. Park Police officer was seriously wounded Monday evening in a shooting in Washington in what the Park Police chief called an ambush.
Park Police Chief Scott Brecht said in a press briefing that the unidentified officer was “ambushed” by two gunmen who fired at the officer as he drove by in an unmarked vehicle. The officer was working in an ongoing Park Police investigation when he was shot. The chief declined to give specifics of the investigation. “We have jurisdiction in all of Washington, D.C.,” the chief said.
