An accomplished Republican professional who served as chief operating officer of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) during the Donald Trump administration was among those shot in a vicious carjacking spree in Washington, D.C., on Monday night, one that ended in police killing the perpetrator in Maryland early Tuesday morning.
Mike Gill is in a hospital in critical condition after being shot while picking up his wife, an education lawyer, blocks from the White House on K Street in downtown D.C. at 5:45pm.
“We can confirm that Mike Gill was the victim of the shooting at the 900 block of K Street Northwest on Monday evening and is in critical condition. Out of respect for the family, we have nothing additional to add at this time,” Erica Richardson, a spokesperson for the Gill family, said in a statement to The Daily Wire.
After shooting Gill, the same man is believed to have conducted at least two carjackings and one attempted carjacking, and the victim of one of them has died, The Washington Post reported.

Not going to pay money to government for a God given right.
9th & K St. NW is in “Gucci Gulch” where many law firms, lobbying firms etc. have their offices. It is a “safe” area for Washington, DC. This tells you how far down Mayor Bowser has let the City go,
Article doesn’t say he wuz the carjacker.
Well they lobbied and paid for chaos, but no one understood not in their end of town. Karma.
Me too. we had a customer at 1000 K Street. Worked there about 10 years ago. My God, how it has all changed!!!
Only the criminal is allowed to conceal carry in D.C., not the law abiding citizen for self-defense.
You can carry in DC, just don’t get caught. Carry a revolver and wear a BIG hat, mask, and sunglasses.
A somewhat slight difference in the camera equipment used for each example you give. But your point is well noted.
but until we get Trump in and crime is
taken care of, I never want to go there

I seriously doubt that both can be accomplished.
Enjoy as best you can.
Did you mean to send that to me?
No!…. that’s a warning shot to MAGA, and Trump! Don’t kid yourselves for one minute. If they don’t catch this criminal, murderer, assassin, you know very well somebody paid him, and the car was marked to do the job! How incredibly weird that some rat representatives have been carjacked before but none have been shot. Doesn’t that sound so consequential? God willing President Trump has high quality security guards surrounding him. He needs to get rid of any government protection bodyguards and get his own special ex-military protection people!
HB, Yes; but not “at you” - IOW for all.
Just registering the order of events, because the title makes the story to be a “carjacking rampage” . . . when carjacking was not the purpose of the perp.
