The first happened in Southeast DC,  as officers chased a robbery suspect.  He found himself in a dead-end, turned and fired at the cops, who then returned fire. That suspect was killed. 

A few hours later, in Northeast Washington,  police got a call for an armed carjacking of a FedEx vehicle. The suspect in that case also shot at police, who then shot back.   THAT suspect survived and is now in the hospital. 

These were the first police-involved shootings in DC since tensions between officers and their communities began ratcheting up.   Both shooting scenes were calm last night.
