Hey guys,
While not being a member of the Pentagon Police Department I was part of this pursuit today from another jurisdiction.
ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) - A Pentagon police officer was struck and seriously injured Tuesday when he tried to halt a carjacking suspect in a Pentagon parking lot, authorities said. The suspect was shot and wounded.
The incident was not believed to be terrorism-related, police said.
The driver was fleeing police after apparently taking a car from a motorist in Alexandria (website - news) , several miles from the Pentagon, authorities said. The motorist suffered non-life-threatening injuries, authorities said
Alexandria Police Lt. John Crawford said the suspect was moving at a "pretty good clip" when he struck a police cruiser and then the Pentagon police officer at a security booth. Police described the injuries to the officer as "life-threatening."
