Police are looking for a suspect after a stolen vehicle crashed into a D.C. church early Tuesday morning, officials said. DC Fire and EMS crews said a vehicle struck Urban Outreach ministry in the 5300 block of C Street SE around midnight.

Officials said the sole building occupant was evacuated and the driver fled the scene when they arrived. Police are looking for the suspect that was driving the stolen vehicle, crews on scene tell 7News.

Normally this type of news would get a glance and be ignored. But I track church arsons, and am surprised by the number of churches being hit by stolen vehicles. At least two a month, or more.

So, which is the greater crime—stealing a car and wrecking it, or crashing it into the Urban Outreach ministry?

” Police are looking for the suspect that was driving the stolen vehicle, crews on scene tell 7News.”

Since they didn’t say white suspect, guess what.

From the picture, it’s not obviously a church. He may have been so drunk/drugged out he didn’t even know.

In urban areas they’ll put churches in any kind of commercial building. I’ve seen them in strip malls and old warehouses.

Geographically, you can make a strong educated guess based on the fact that the crime happened in southeast DC.

Heavily Urban Amish area.

Sorry. Neither. He chose to drive a gas engine car instead of an all electric.

All electric might well have burst into unquenchable flames and burned the church to the ground.
