Last night, Thursday March 12, a female MPD officer fired multiple shots at an individual who was in the tunnels outside the Potomac Ave station. No confirmation yet who the individual was, why he/she was in the tunnel, and why the officer fired. Reports indicate that a passing operator observed the individual and noticed central control. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/dr- ... -shooting/; http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local ... 55041.html.

An MPD shooting and resulting fatality certainly didn't come at a good time for Metro.
