WASHINGTON — A U.S. Secret Service Officer is in the hospital recovering from injuries incurred while assisting the Metropolitan Police Department.
On Friday, at approximately 6 p.m., MPD responded to the 1400 block of Fairmont Street, Northwest, for calls of a shooting.
Members of the U.S. Secret Services Uniformed Division were dispatched to help MPD with the call. Once both agencies were at the scene, they found that there was no shooting.
However, they were able to locate an individual who was wanted while they were there. In the process of taking the suspect into custody, one of the Secret Service members sustained non-life threatening injuries.
The officer was taken to a local hospital for treatment. WUSA 9 reached out to MPD and the U.S. Secret Service Uniformed Division to find out what type of injury the officer sustained, but they declined to give any details.
