WASHINGTON — (WMAL) – A road rage incident near the National Cathedral ended up with a man being struck in the head with a bullet – one of several fired by a woman in a dark blue coupe, who emerged from her car after sideswiping the victim’s SUV on Massachusetts Avenue, NW at around 4:30 this morning, and emptied her gun. The victim is in the hospital now in stable condition. The suspect was last seen driving north on Wisconsin Avenue, headed towards the Maryland line. Violent crime in that neighborhood of Upper Northwest DC, just north of the Vice President’s official residence at the Naval Observatory, is almost unheard of.
MPD seeks assistance in identifying a suspect and vehicle of interest in reference to an Assault with Intent to Kill (Gun) offense that occurred on 4/15/21 in the 3600 block of Massachusetts Ave NW.
