1 dead after DC police involved in second Northwest shooting within hours

WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — A D.C. police officer was involved in a shooting in Northwest on Tuesday evening, just hours after a separate one happened nearby.The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) said just after 6 p.m., a car was heading southbound in the 3500 block of Georgia Avenue when it drove into oncoming traffic and struck a marked MPD cruiser.
The driver got out of the car, took a knife out, reached into the open window of the MPD cruiser and started swinging the knife while demanding the officer hand over their service weapon.
The officer moved into the passenger seat and told the driver to get back but he refused. This prompted the officer to shoot him.
The officer got out of the car to check on the driver and called for help.
While requesting for DC Fire and EMS crews to respond to the scene, the driver got up, picked up the knife and started approaching the officer again.
The officer told the driver to drop the knife but he refused and he then got into a police cruiser nearby.
Other officers began demanding for him to get out of the cruiser which he did but was still holding the knife.
He then goes to a car with a woman inside, opens the driver’s door and tries to carjack the woman.
An officer fired their service weapon which struck him.

Stop the threat. Thanks, Gun Bunny.

The first story reminds me of the scene from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly….Tuco in the bath, “If you’re going to shoot, shoot. Don’t talk, shoot”.
Sounds like Mr Ramos took that advice to “heart”.
Mr Metro with the knife was (was) certainly a single minded zombie. Those last rounds fired by the po-po must have hit his last operating brain cell.
If you’re gonna take a knife to a gunfight, make sure it is attached to the hand of a small framed smiling man.
“Brandishing” a firearm is as worthless as talking while a gunfight is unfolding.
Nothing evil about trying to deal with stupidity.
A kukri would be the perfect tool for giving ‘ bottom surgery ‘ to the confused
If Ramos and Uria were inside the home and saw Mendoza outside with a gun, the prudent thing is to stay inside with the door locked and not directly confront the aggressive party. Let him try to enter, then from a position of cover provide him with ventilation holes. No reason to do the high noon outside showdown stupidity.
I’m guessing no-one involved came from the deep end of the gene pool…

Nice collection! What are the differences between models? Some are obvious in the pics, but are there specific definitions for each?
Sirupate means “thin-leaf shape.” Here’s the description on their page:
