Just after 5 p.m., the officer and his family were inside their car on Oxon Hill Road, nearby Monument Avenue, in Oxon Hill when two people approached. They then forced the family out of the vehicle.
The officer fired his department-issued weapon during the interaction. No one was injured during the altercation.
