WASHINGTON – Agents from the Metropolitan Police Department’s Internal Affairs Bureau are investigating a shooting involving U.S. Marshals that took place early Friday in Northwest D.C.
The incident occurred around 1:15 a.m.
Deputy U.S. Marshals, according to an MPD report, were parked in separate vehicles in the 2100 block of 11 Street, Northwest, when the suspect exited a vehicle and approached one of the Marshals, pointing a handgun in an apparent carjacking attempt.

Friday, the week’s hottest day in D.C., was humid, too
Even at only 98 degrees, however, Friday was the hottest day here since June 26, when it was 99. It was also 9 degrees hotter than the average high — 89 degrees — for July 5 in the capital.
It is true that the actual temperature did fall a bit short of three digits, a level that generally wins instant acceptance as thermally severe. But the feels-like temperature, also an important characteristic of conditions, cleared that hurdle with ease.
For a couple of hours Friday afternoon, the heat index reached 108 degrees. It stood at 108 degrees just before 3 p.m. and just before 5 p.m. And when it was not 108 at two other afternoon hours, it fell only a degree below that at 107.
Memories of attending the fireworks in Washington on the Fourth of July, often include recollections of the weather. The Fourth on the Washington Monument grounds has often been a day that is celebrated amid substantial swelter.
But the Fifth, which was Friday, surpassed it in discomfort to become the sultriest day of the week and month thus far.
The high temperature on the Fourth was only 94, warm, certainly, but perhaps not the sort of heat that residents or tourists will incorporate in their tales of enduring the severity of Washington weather.
And the heat index apparently did not reach the three-digit mark Thursday, according to available National Weather Service data.
So if the Fourth was the day to inspire, perhaps Friday was the time to perspire.
But, it is difficult to conceive of conditions that differ greatly from those of Friday.
It is summer and this is Washington, and we are surrounded, immersed and enveloped in the time and the place — for hotter, or for perhaps slightly less hot.

Vandals tear down Gaza hostage photos outside of Rep. Brad Schneider's Capitol Hill office
WASHINGTON — Vandals on July 4 tore photos of hostages in Gaza off the wall outside of the Capitol Hill office of Rep. Brad Schneider, D-Illlinois, his office said on Friday.
A photo Schneider posted on the social media website X showed how the ripped-off pictures littered the hallway of the Cannon House Office Building. The hostages were kidnapped Oct. 7 in Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel.
The vandalism comes in the wake of protesters loudly demonstrating outside of Schneider’s Highland Park home in the middle of the night last weekend.
Schneider is one of the most pro-Israel members of Congress.
Schneider said in a statement, “My Capitol office was vandalized yesterday in a vile act of hate in which the posters of the more than 100 people still held hostage in Gaza (including 8 Americans) were ripped from the wall, shredded and tossed across the hallway. This was a shameful act on any day, but especially on July 4, our country’s Independence Day. Sadly, it was but one of many hateful, un-American actions that took place across the country on the day we celebrate freedom and democracy.
“I’ve been disgusted by the videos and reports of individuals calling July 4th a ‘terrorist holiday’ and burning American flags. It’s not just happening at my office in Washington, D.C.,” Schneider said.
“More than 700 miles from the Capitol, my home was targeted last weekend at 2:30AM by approximately 50 masked demonstrators banging drums, blowing horns and screaming antisemitic chants. The same groups that were at my house earlier in the week marched through Chicago on July 4th, not calling for peace, but rather condemning the United States of America,” he said.
“These actions don’t advance peace. Instead, they play directly into the hands of Hamas terrorists enabling them to continue to hold hostage not only those they kidnapped from Israel, but all civilians in Gaza as well.”
