(CNN)An off-duty federal police officer shot and killed two people he believed had broken into a car in Maryland on Wednesday morning, according to local authorities.

The incident happened at about 5 a.m. in the parking lot of a condominium complex in Takoma Park, Maryland, a suburb about 7 miles from Washington, DC.

Officers responded to a call of shots fired and were approached by an off-duty Pentagon Force Protection Agency police officer who said he thought a car was being burglarized, according to a statement from the Takoma Park Police Department.

"He engaged the suspects who failed to follow his direction," police said in the statement. "The suspects attempted to flee in a vehicle at which time the officer discharged his service weapon."

A short time later, police said, "two of the suspects involved arrived at Prince George's Hospital, both suffering from gunshot wounds."

Both of them died at the hospital.

It's unclear whether the two people were breaking into the car.

Agreed

[Fireballer 2,642]

Terrible headline and story.  You have to get to the 5th paragraph to find the nuance.  How were they fleeing?  Trying to run the officer over?  They make it sound like the reason for the shooting was specifically the burglary.  You know, good ol MSM spin.  Just like "George Floyd was killed over a bad $20 bill"

This, there's not enough info here to possibly make any sort of judgement on this situation.

True, it is light on details. But if the general gist is true, that this guy gunned down two people because he thought they might be stealing a car, that’s not good.

If it didn’t say, then the alleged perps probably weren’t black, or the officer probably wasn’t white.  Although CNN did report on it, so I could be wrong and they just forgot to play up that angle.

Takoma Park is actually pretty diverse - 49% white,  35% Black, 4% Asian (and 15% Hispanic).  Although the 2 victims were not from there.

Also, there have been a few blacks killed by black cops that got press.  Maybe I’m overestimating the national press as I’m in Charlotte, but Keith Lamont Scott in 2016 was one.  The cop was never charged for that and stayed on the job, although interestingly he (along with about 4 other cops) were fired (but not charged) last year when another guy died while alone in police custody.

[RaiderHaters Revenge 4,356]

So a cop approached two people he thought were breaking into a car and they refused to comply and got in the car anyways and tried to run him down and he shot them?

non story

comply and dont die

Charged with 2 counts of second degree murder + attempted murder.

However they did confirm the victims were breaking into cars.

I’m guessing the cop lived there.  I doubt Pentagon Cops live in the projects Timmy

Now with some context, yes the apparent sh!tbag cop shoulda been charged.

Williams and Johnson were both shot in the rear upper torso, the back area,” said Detective Charles Earle of Takoma Park Police.

Authorities say that indicates that the car had passed Dixon when he fired at it, that it was no longer an immediate threat that would have justified deadly force.
