“Shooting at the intersection of Dupont Circle N.W. and New Hampshire Avenue N.W. Lookout for: a B/M wearing all dark clothing last seen northbound on New Hampshire Avenue N.W.”
The person they have arrested is not in an unmarked car. He is in the police car in the center of the first picture. I can confirm the police had their guns out to stop him.
