Off-duty Pentagon police officer fatally shoots 2 people in Maryland
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/duty-pentagon-police-officer-fatally-shoots-2-people-maryland-n1263493An off duty Pentagon police officer shot and killed two people he believed were breaking into a car in Maryland early Wednesday, according to local police.
The Takoma Park Police Department said that an unnamed officer for the Pentagon Force Protection Agency shot and killed Dominique Williams, 32, and James Lionel Johnson, 38, both of Maryland.
Shortly after 5 a.m. TPPD officers responded to multiple reports of shots fired at the Takoma Overlook Condominiums on New Hampshire Avenue.
After they arrived the officers were approached by an off duty PFPA officer who stated that he had fired his service weapon at suspects, saying they fled after not obeying his commands when he confronted them for what he believed was an in-progress car break-in.
