A Washington, DC, 13-year-old juvenile was shot and killed during an attempted carjacking of a federal officer in Northwest on Saturday, according to police.
The tragic incident is representative of the soaring crime in the District:
A total of 760 carjackings occurred in the first ten months of 2023, police data show.
Sixty-five percent of those arrested for carjacking are juveniles.
U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves, who is responsible for prosecuting those D.C. police arrests, prosecuted only 56 percent of those police arrested in 2023.
Police said Vernard Toney Jr. tried to carjack an off-duty federal security officer around 10 p.m. Saturday but was killed during the incident. The episode took place on the 600 block of D Street NW, near 7th Street, in the Penn Quarter area, NBC4 Washington reported:

Why are 2/3's of car jackers yutes?
Because gangs and these kids know that there will be no punishment by DC law for anyone caught that is this young.
You get the behavior that you encourage.
Thank you U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves.
How do you have a 13 year old jacking cars?
What a culture.
Feel good story of the day. Would have been great had he blasted the other one too.
Give that person a medal!
and......... 100% of the carjackers are DC natives and are........
feral
Christmas is fast approaching so looting time is getting short.
🙏🇺🇸🇮🇱👍
Agreed ….. is tragic the perps partner was able to get away
One less, gain by society.
“No outrage? I’m guessing black officer.”
I read a study funded, if I recall, by the FBI. I was unable to find it but here are the findings I remember. After interviewing a large number of officers and reviewing the available data the study concluded that a black officer was far more likely to shoot a black suspect than a white officer. The article gave mathematical percentages, but I don’t recall them. The findings said that the black officer believed he was in more danger from a black suspect than from a white suspect. A white officer was held back from acting in his own defense because of what he perceived as a potentially career ending event if he shot a black suspect.
I remember reading about that one as well.
If Democrats didn’t enrich and empower themselves from crime and poverty both would be largely resolved.
OK...
We got ferel yute’s running around, getting gunned down in the streets for the crimes they are committing.
What does the DC police and prosecutors do?
Make up some crimes and prosecute a former President.
Yeah, that’s the ticket!!!!
“…natural comedic ability and loved to make people laugh, especially when” — he was violently pulling people out of their cars and stealing them.
Like the getaway driver for bankrobbers is charged with murder if the bank guard kills one of the robbers, Vernard’s partner, when captured, should be charged with murder.
Of course, in DC, he’s more likely to be given a college scholarship.
Not against a Fed Officer.
For some reason this news article reminds me of the music video that combines the song by Anthrax, “I am the Law,” and video from the movie, “Dredd.”

Not in the excerpt:
One of the juveniles was “holding his hand in his front waistband pocket, as if he had a handgun,”
Very clearly self defense but the snow flakes will be screaming, “the cop should have waited until he had actually eye balled a gun”. Morons!
This was a 7th grade kid with priors including attempted carjacking when he was 12….in 6 th grade. Yet DC social services did not remove this kid from an obviously dysfunctional “family” …..they are worthless POS prob highly overpaid for shuffling paper. And prob Black from the community supposed to serve.
Fact is they don’t care, nobody cares, just another Black kid everyone here is saying deserved to die and be gone from society,
We really need to be honest enough to establish residential boarding schools removed from urban jungles such as on farms,ranches, military-school type discipline etc…to send these young kids upon an honest assessment they have no competent adult guardians.
