Prayers for the three Metropolitan Police Department officers who were shot on the line of duty this morning! 🙏🏽

D.C. police say three officers were shot and injured after a shooting in northeast Washington.

D.C. police say three officers are in stable condition after being shot by a gunman inside an apartment building in northeast Washington. The shooting occurred around 4:30 a.m. at the Union Market apartment building in the 300 block of Florida Avenue.

Metropolitan Police Department Chief Pamela Smith said officers responded to a report of a man with a gun who fired shots inside of the lobby. When officers arrived, they made contact with the suspect who suddenly ran and fled into an elevator. Additional officers responded to the scene, and a few minutes later, the suspect reemerged from the elevator.

"Officers attempt to take the man into custody at that time when he produced a firearm," Smith said. "During the struggle, the suspect fired, discharged his gun at the officers and the officers returned fire, striking the suspect."

Prayers for the two San Francisco police officers who were injured in the line of duty this morning 🙏🏽

Two San Francisco police officers were recovering in a hospital Monday morning after a pursuit and crash resulted in injuries.

The two-vehicle crash occurred at the corner of San Pablo and Paul avenues at about 3:40 a.m. The SFPD patrol vehicle reportedly crashed into a corner building that once housed a liquor store.

It wasn't immediately clear why San Francisco police officers were chasing the suspect. According to department policy, pursuits are only allowed if officers have reasonable suspicion or probable cause that a felony or violent misdemeanor has occurred or is about to occur.

No further details were immediately available
