SILVER SPRING, Md. (ABC7) — MS-13 members held a Purple Line construction worker at gunpoint inside of a seemingly vacant building slated for demolition, police say.
The two-story single-family house, which has since been torn down, was located at 807 University Boulevard East in Silver Spring - roughly a quarter-mile south of Piney Branch Road. The Maryland Transit Authority purchased the property to make way for the 16-mile light rail system that will link downtown Bethesda with the New Carrollton Metro station.
According to Montgomery County Police, the Purple Line employee entered the abandoned structure around 8 a.m. on Tuesday, October 17. He was performing a pre-demolition inventory.
The worker surveyed the first and second floors before entering the attic. While in the attic, the worker heard the sound of footsteps and shouted "Hello?" The response... "There's somebody upstairs."
The worker walked to the stairwell where he encountered two Hispanic males, later identified as Jesus Ponce-Flores, 19, and David Lagunes-Bolanos, 18. Ponce-Flores, police explain, was wearing a black ski mask and holding onto a square-shaped handgun. Lagunes-Bolanos was reportedly unmasked with a "machete-style knife" secured within his right pant leg.
The worker immediately raised his hands and stated, "I'm just working here, man." Sensing no threat, Ponce-Flores tucked the gun in his waistband, walked back downstairs and exited the house with Lagunes-Bolanos in tow.
The frightened worker waited roughly 30 seconds, walked briskly to his work truck parked outside and called police.
Undercover officers setup a surveillance operation at the house. Around 12 p.m. - some four hours later - they ordered everyone out. Within minutes, four suspects sprinted from the garage, but were caught by cops, which had established a perimeter.

Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Gangs, drugs, human trafficking, 3rd worldization of America. All brought to you by the left and the GOP-e cheap labor express.
He should be proud to have been in the company of “Dreamers”.
OK, let’s just demolish the house. There’s no one in it, right?
Too bad they scum didn’t offer enough resistance to have to be put down like the rabid dogs they are.
hah The left sure knows their emotionally stunted base. they just give something a name that sounds good and voilà..it’s good.
Let’s see under those terms wasn’t Hitler really just a dreamer too? A big dreamer.
Pol Pot, another dreamer.
So many dreams, so little time.
What’s even worse is that we finally have a President who is trying to protect us from this, and look at how much of the country is treating him.
Coming soon. . America. . .a third world country full of thugs.
Yeah, over toward Langley Park and Adelphi. It was a Third World armpit thirty years ago. White boys like me could get killed in that area after dark. Looks like the neighborhood hasn’t improved any.
We should demonstrate how much we love illegal immigrants by passing a law that the minimum wage for all illegal immigrants shall be $30 an hour, with an additional $10 an hour set aside for a pension fund to help finance their eventual repatriation to their home country, along with severe penalties for anybody not paying them their due. The illegal aliens could even be encouraged to turn in their employers if they are ripped off.
Surely that would be the good, right and compassionate thing to do!
Demolishing a house for light rail...
40 years ago the greater DC metropolitan area encompassing DC, MD up lots of RR track and turned the rail beds into bicycle/jogging which turned into high crime pathways.
Accessible neighborhoods soon became targeted as well as joggers and bicyclists. It grew worse as the decades passed and perhaps police presence mitigated some of the risk involved with using or even living close to path or the access to the paths.
I wonder if leaving it as a rail and then later converting it to a light rail would have been a better solution to the current state of affairs regarding these areas.
The network of rail beds around DC was quite extensive.
Nice of them to be wearing "dreamer" tee shirts...
Monkey County releases MS13 gang members. No surprise.
They were viscous to Reagan, too. But nothing I have read or seen in videos against Reagan is as over-the-moon hateful like they treat Trump.
