encounters have soared since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. A couple of young D.C. area suspects tried to get in on the action in Maryland recently, but got an unexpected surprise instead: an armed off-duty cop who sent the pair scurrying when he fired at them as they tried to force his family out of the car.
The incident reportedly occurred around 5:00pm Thursday in Oxon Hill, Maryland, just outside of Washington, D.C. According to Prince George Assistant Chief Vernon Hale III, the suspects approached a car belonging to an as-yet-unidentified local officer and demanded that he and his family exit the vehicle. After everyone inside had complied with the thieves’ request, the officer pulled his department-issued weapon and fired at the suspects. more
If it had been a non-cop, the local DA would have charged him with aggravated assault and attempted murder because the perps were no longer a threat.
I mean, the perps most certainly WERE still a threat but the DA wouldn’t have played it that way.
Why did the article say it was an “attempted” carjacking? They completed the crime of carjacking. It’s just too bad the officer didn’t hit his targets.

Jethro –
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnd they’re Black!
2020 Four iz gonna be a heluva year!!
If the police would stop protecting the mayor,judges and da’s this nonsense would stop.
@Jethro, do they not realize that people know that if race is not given in a description, people automatically assume the perp is black? What have the media accomplished?
It ‘s really funny what they don’t describe a suspect but they give his name a “D’quan.”
On the other hand, if the race of someone who committed a horrendous crime is not know the media assume the perp is white so I guess it balances out.
It’s almost a given anymore that these perp thugs are black. Or if not black, an illegal alien.
No shock that nobody was hit. Barney Fife at it again.
The cop most likely chose to miss and just scared them off.
He didn’t want to be convicted of murder.
Carjacking should become a capital offense. Give the perps as much time to defend themselves as they gave their victims. Victims should be paid a bounty.
I can’t believe there are still blacks that need to do this for a living. Don’t they all have lucrative careers doing TV commercials?
… not to mention perpetual, generational Welfare!

When I lived in Oxon Hill a jillion years ago it was somewhat more tame. Uh and Jethro Monday, 1 January 2024, 11:13 at 11:13 am, How does one pronounce Jamere or Z’quriah, I can do John….

Oxon Hill had bad areas even a jillion years ago.
After the filth of Eastover started oozing south, Oxon Hill was doomed.

Sure would be nice if D.C. allowed ordinary citizens to defend themselves and their families the same way as this off-duty officer.
