Trump Official in Critical Condition After Being Shot During DC Carjacking
A Washington, D.C., carjacking left a Trump administration official in critical condition on Monday after he was shot, and the suspect was gunned down by police after killing a second driver, according to a report.
Mike Gill was in his car picking up his wife when he was shot by the suspect around 5:45 p.m. Monday on K Street NW, the Daily Mail reported.
“We can confirm that Mike Gill was the victim of the shooting at the 900 block of K Street Northwest on Monday evening and is in critical condition,” a spokeswoman for Gill told the Daily Mail. “Out of respect for the family, we have nothing additional to add at this time.”
During Donald Trump’s tenure in the White House, Gill was chief operating officer of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, according to the Daily Wire.
The father of three reportedly collapsed outside his car after the incident.
Police said the suspect was on a crime spree that lasted 11 hours, WUSA 9 reported. The man, who police have not yet named, shot Gill, killed a second driver and shot at police in two separate incidents before being stuck by officers’ gunfire Tuesday by New Carrollton police.
An investigation continues.
