In a press release, the Metropolitan Police stated, “The suspect exited a vehicle, approached one of the Marshals, and pointed a handgun at him in an apparent attempt to carjack him.”
“The Marshal drew his service weapon and fired several shots at the suspect. A second Marshal from another vehicle also responded and fired his service weapon,” added the Metropolitan Police
The suspect of the carjacking was transported to a nearby hospital where he is facing non-life threatening injuries.
The suspect, Kentrell Flowers, has since been arrested and charged with “armed carjacking, carrying a pistol without a license, and possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device.”
