DC Police Chief: We are transitioning to FBI-led investigation.
Chief Cathy Lanier: “As far as initial response this morning, we have one officer with gunshot wounds being treated. Response from uniformed police officers was absolutely nothing short of heroic. With at least 12 confirmed dead at this point, the actions by the police officers without question helped to reduce the number of lives lost. Our hearts go out to families of all the victims here.
“Right now we’re confirming 12 fatalities, a few additional folks injured not fatally injured. Only one officer injured by gunfire, some others injuries sustained. We are officially now transitioning to FBI lead. Will be processed and handled as unified process.”
