At least one member of the U.S. Marshals Service shot and killed a person Wednesday afternoon in Northeast D.C.’s Mayfair neighborhood, a law enforcement source told WTOP.
D.C. police’s Internal Affairs Bureau is on the scene of the shooting and no District police officers were involved, the department said in a post on X.
The shooting happened around 2:30 p.m. in the 3700 block of Hayes Street, on the eastern banks of the Anacostia River just south and west of Kenilworth.
In a statement to WTOP, U.S. Park Police said they assisted another federal agency with a traffic stop at that location and took one person by helicopter to a hospital.
Authorities did not provide any other information about the person who was shot or the circumstances surrounding the shooting. The U.S. Marshals Service told WTOP no law enforcement personnel were injured.
Below is a map of the area where the shooting happened.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
