An officer-involved shooting occurred on Easter Sunday in National Harbor, Maryland, following a domestic-related stabbing incident. According to the Prince George’s County Police Department, officers responded to a stabbing call around 8:20 a.m., where a man and a woman were found with critical stab wounds. CHIEF MALIK AZIZ stated during a media conference that the suspect fled the scene after setting fire to the apartment. The suspect was known to the victims, and the incident was confirmed to be domestic-related.
Less than two hours later, officers located the suspect at St. George Boulevard and Potomac Passage in National Harbor. The suspect, still armed with a knife, moved toward an officer, prompting two officers to discharge their duty weapons. The suspect was struck an unknown number of times and was transported to a nearby hospital, where he later died. No officers were injured in the incident.
The stabbing victims remain in critical but stable condition. Investigators have not yet disclosed the identities of the victims or the suspect, nor have they confirmed the exact relationship between them. The Maryland Attorney General’s Independent Investigations Division has taken over the case.
