Pentagon police officer injured trying to halt carjacking; suspect shot, wounded
ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) — A Pentagon police officer was struck and seriously injured Tuesday when he tried to halt a carjacking suspect in a Pentagon parking lot, authorities said.
As police tried to arrest him, the suspect allegedly grabbed an officer’s gun and shot himself.
The incident was not believed to be terrorism-related, police said. (NOTICE HOW THEY'RE ALWAYS QUICK TO RULE OUT TERRORISM.)
The driver was fleeing police after apparently taking a car from a motorist in Alexandria, several miles from the Pentagon. The motorist suffered non-life-threatening injuries, authorities said.
Alexandria Police Lt. John Crawford said the suspect was moving at a “pretty good clip” Tuesday morning when he struck a police cruiser and then the Pentagon police officer at a security booth.
The officer, James Feltis, was listed in very critical condition Monday night, Pentagon spokesman Glenn Flood said. Feltis, 41, is a 10-year veteran of the force.
When officers tried to arrest the suspect, he grabbed the Alexandria officer’s gun, fired multiple shots and injured himself, said Amy Bertsch, an Alexandria Police spokeswoman.
Police were still trying to confirm the man’s identity late Monday. He was taken to a hospital, but his injuries were not considered life-threatening.
