A D.C. Housing Authority police officer accidentally shot another officer yesterday afternoon when a gun discharged during a traffic stop at Potomac Gardens, a Southeast Washington housing complex, said Cymando Henley, a spokesman for the Housing Authority.
The injured officer was taken to Washington Hospital Center, Henley said. The extent of his injuries was unknown.
The shooting, at about 3:45 p.m. happened while the two officers were trying to arrest a suspect, according to law enforcement sources. The officers had their weapons drawn because the suspect was armed with a brick, sources said.
Other circumstances surrounding the incident were not known.
"Apparently, he was shot by another officer," Henley said.
