BREAKING: Man shot by police at Rosslyn Metro station


A man was shot by police at the Rosslyn Metro station near the start of the Tuesday evening rush hour.

The incident started around 3:45 p.m. when police were dispatched to the Safeway at 1525 Wilson Blvd in Rosslyn for a report of a man who pulled a knife on store employees. Around 4:15 p.m., the suspect was spotted by a pair of officers at the Metro station.

“Responding officers located an adult male matching the description of the suspect in the top floor of the Rosslyn Metro Station,” Arlington County police said on social media. “During their encounter, a struggle ensued and one officer discharged their firearm, striking the male.”

“Signal one, shots fired,” an officer could be heard saying on the police dispatch channel. “Suspect is down, he’s still conscious… we have him at gunpoint.”

The suspect was taken to a local hospital “with serious injuries” and “there is no ongoing threat to the community,” ACPD said.

“The two officers were transported to an area hospital — one with non-life threatening injuries and one for evaluation,” the department added. “At the request of Arlington County Police Department, the regional Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT) was activated to investigate the incident. The investigation is ongoing.”

The shooting drew a large police response to the area, prompting road closures and the closure of the Metro station. The station has since reopened.
